Filmfodder Privacy Standards

Contrary to what you might gather from reading our news and commentary (if you can call it that), we do take a few things seriously. One of those things is online privacy.

Like most sites, Filmfodder gathers general information about traffic and usage. In doing so, we have access to some user information. Our logging procedure allows us to know the most common IP addresses that visit our site and we can also discern things like the most popular browser and the most active days and hours. However, we do not associate real people to their IP addresses, nor will we ever do so.

If you visit the Filmfodder forums the forum software will save a cookie onto your hard drive. Don't worry, a cookie isn't a bad thing. The general information stored on this cookie makes it possible for you to visit the forums without logging in and out all the time. Filmfodder staffers often enjoy the pleasures of a warm freshly-baked cookie, but we have no desire to acquire (or consume) your computer cookies. Even if we did, we don't have access to them.

Despite the relative safety of cookies, you may want to configure your browser to warn you anytime a site requests to save a cookie to your hard drive. You can also have you browser reject cookies, but this could impair your ability to visit some Web sites.

Filmfodder doesn't require membership, but Filmfodder Forum users and individuals who sign up for our newsletter are asked to submit a small amount of personal information (email address, username, etc.). Only select Filmfodder staffers have access to this information and all email listings are password protected and unavailable to the general public. You can rest assured that we will not sell your email address or anything else to a third party. Also, you will not receive unsolicited email from Filmfodder unless it's vitally important. Last time we checked, nothing we do is particularly vital.

In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), Filmfodder does not collect any information from children under the age of 13. Individuals 13 or under who wish to join Filmfodder Forums or sign up for our weekly newsletter must have a parent contact us at privacy@filmfodder.com before submitting any information.

Privacy-related questions, comments, and concerns should be sent to privacy@filmfodder.com.
