The types of personally identifiable information that you may submit in these pages can include: name, media outlet, e-mail address, telephone number, and information about your media inquiry.

We also may use various technologies and tools to automatically collect certain anonymous, non-personally identifiable information, such as the Internet protocol address used to connect your computer or device to the Internet, your general location (such as the city where you are located), the type of browser you are using (e.g., Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Linux, Mac OS or Microsoft Windows) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., Verizon, EarthLink). We do not automatically collect geolocation information that would be sufficient to identify your street name or the name of your city or town.

We also may use cookies and web beacons to collect information (as described below).

 

Children’s Privacy

 

Consistent with the provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), FSG does not knowingly collect or store any personal information, even in aggregate, about children under the age of thirteen (13).

 

How We Use the Information that You Provide or We Collect

 

We may use the information you provide or that we collect about you online to respond to your inquiries or to process any other request for which you have provided us with your information.

We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect online to improve the design and content of our web site, protect the security of our web site, and to enable us to personalize your Web experience. We also may use this information to analyze web site usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services.

We may disclose personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our terms of use, to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our web site and applicable laws or as otherwise required or permitted by law or consistent with legal requirements. In addition, we may transfer personally identifiable information about you if we, or one of our properties, are acquired by, sold to, or merged with another company.

Agents, contractors, and third party service providers who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Finally, the web site covered by this Privacy Policy will not use or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses.
