What is your data retention policy?
We will make a good faith effort to:
- Retain server logs containing the IP address of all requests to this server no more than 90 days.
Do we use cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow). These cookies enable the site to recognize your browser and, if you have a registered account, associate it with your registered account.
We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
Do we disclose any information to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our site, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Third party links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our site. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
Our site, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older. If this server is in the USA, and you are under the age of 13, per the requirements of COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), do not use this site.
Scope of this policy
This policy applies to information collected through the Fomio website and native Fomio app.
Your Consent
By using Fomio, you acknowledge this privacy policy.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page.
Fomio for iPhone and iPad
The native Fomio app connects to this community. Account details, posts, replies, uploaded photos, saved posts, reports and blocking preferences are handled by the community service. The community service also records searches, account activity and request information such as IP addresses to provide and protect the service and understand how search is used. Searches may be linked to your account when signed in. You choose when to publish or upload content. Public content is visible according to the community’s permissions.
Sign-in takes place in the system browser. The native app stores a per-user authorization key in the device Keychain; it does not store your account password. The app stores unfinished writing and selected draft photos in its protected local storage. Fomio does not synchronize these drafts between devices. Discarding a draft, confirmed publication or signing out removes the corresponding local draft and retained photos.
The app uses the system photo picker and does not request camera or microphone access. It contains no third-party advertising or analytics SDK. Website pages and browser sign-in remain subject to the website’s cookie and analytics settings; the website currently uses Google Analytics. The native app’s feed appearance preference is stored locally.
Account deletion and privacy requests
In the native app, open Me > Delete account. Confirm your username and the permanent-deletion action. Where self-service deletion is permitted, the community deletes the account and its posts, and the app then removes local sign-in details and drafts for that account. Signing out alone does not delete your community account or published posts.
Administrative ownership and identity-provider restrictions may prevent automatic deletion. For those exceptional accounts, or for questions about access, correction, retention or deletion of personal information, contact support@fomio.app. Information that must be retained for legal or security obligations is subject to those obligations.
This community is operated by The ZincBuild. Existing provider and disclosure terms above also apply to the community service.
