First Covers® Privacy Policy

We think your online privacy is very important and we'll do our best to protect it.
This web page describes the type of personal information we collect from you and what we do with it. We hope you find it useful in deciding whether or not to share information about yourself with us.

First, we would like to stress that we follow the privacy requirements provided by Facebook for all applications that wish to participate in the Facebook ecosystem.

Information We Collect

• We collect any questions, comments or other suggestions you send to us through our web site or email. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our web site.
• Our web site automatically collects your IP address (that's a fancy word for the unique name of your computer on Internet) and watches what you do on the site. We also track where you come from in the world. Again, we use this information to learn how we can make the experience better for you.
• Our web site tracks status usage in the aggregate to determine which ones are most popular and which ones are least popular. This allows us to tune our system to only provide statuses that are likely to be enjoyed by most end-users. We also track other global statistics such as how many people are using First Covers, how many people have installed First Covers, etc.
• If you contact us through email or some other means, we may receive your name and/or email address. We absolutely do not resell or share this information with third parties. We hate junk mail, too!
• When you visit us from another site, our web site is able to tell which web site you're coming from. We use this information to stay informed about how people are finding us.
• Our web site is also able to tell certain characteristics about your computer like the operating system you run, the browser you use and your screen size. We use this information to make sure that our web site is designed to look its best on your computer.
• You've probably noticed that we have advertisements and links to external web sites. When you click on an ad or external link, you are essentially leaving our site. We, unfortunately, don't have any control after you have left our site. To be safe, you should read their privacy policy, as well.
• Finally, we will sometimes collect additional information from you for the purposes of enhancing the targeting of our advertisements that we may share with third-party advertisers. We will ask your permission before collecting this information, however, and will only collect generic information that cannot uniquely identify you.

  What we do with the information we gather

  We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:
• Internal record keeping
• We may use the information to improve our products and services
• The services we provide may include advertisements, which may be targeted to you based on your use of First Covers as well as via data provided by third party services including Twitter.com or Facebook.com.

  Security

• We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

  How we use cookies

• A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
• We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
• Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
• You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
