Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. The policy of The Filipino Channel-North America (TFC-NA) and its related websites is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. While providing and collecting information is a normal part of the process to provide you access to the best news, entertainment, and communication products and services, TFC-NA will never disclose any personal information to third parties without your consent.

In order for you to fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of the information, we've prepared privacy statement that discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. We reserve the right to revise this privacy policy upon reasonable notice to our visitors.

GATHERING INFORMATION

TFC-NA.com requires that you supply personal information, including your name, e-mail address, physical address and/or other data that enables the recipient to personally identify you during the registration process for subscription to the site or services offered in this site. However, TFC-NA.com does not obligate you to supply other personally identifiable information.

TFC-NA uses the IP addresses of its users to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. We also use it to gather broad demographic information about our users in general. This information does not contain anything that can identify users personally. We may combine demographic information supplied by a subscriber at registration with site usage data to provide profiles, in aggregate form, about our users and their preferences in the content of the site and advertising. We may share this composite information with our advertisers to help them better understand our services, but TFC-NA does not give advertisers information about individual users of TFC-NA.

TFC-NA.com also gathers information about users through optional, voluntary participation in message boards, quick polls, and from consumers who subscribe to TFC or any of our other services online and purchase goods from the Starry Starry Store.

USE OF THE INFORMATION

Personal information gathered from you will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without your approval at the time of collection. At such points of collection, you will have the opportunity to indicate whether or not you want to receive promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from TFC-NA.com and/or any third parties.

TFC-NA.com may perform statistical analyses of user behavior in order to measure relative consumer interest on various services (for product development purposes) and to inform advertisers as to how many have responded to an advertisement and seen or "clicked" on their advertising banner. In performance of these statistical analyses, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form. Personal information on individual subscribers and advertisers will not be provided to any third party.

TFC-NA.com may send out emails to users that have opted for an online service that provides special company announcements or offers special products or services from our site and/or advertisers. Further, notwithstanding your decision on promotional information, TFC-NA.com reserves the right to contact you regarding account status, changes to the agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.

SHARING OF THE INFORMATION

TFC-NA.com shares the information it tracks, in aggregate form, with advertisers and other partners. We do not release information about any individual subscriber.

OPT-OUT POLICY

Upon request, TFC-NA.com will remove any user and user's personal information from its database, or allow any user to "opt out" of further contact while still accessing the site, or change/correct personal information that the user states is erroneous.

OTHER PRIVACY ISSUES AND CONCERNS

TFC-NA uses reasonable precautions to keep the personal information disclosed to us secure. TFC-NA.com is not responsible for the content or privacy policies of websites to which it may link. Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online-for example, on message boards, through email or in chat area-that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Furthermore, while we strive to protect your personal information, TFC-NA.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Moreover, you should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personal information, such as user name and e-mail address, on the bulletin board, that information (along with any substantive information disclosed in the user's communication) can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of TFC-NA.com.
