1. Overview:
We recognize that the privacy of our users is very important and we take this very seriously. This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected from products and services on the www.4Loot.com Web site. It describes the way we collect, store, and use personally identifiable information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you understand what information we collect through the Site and what we do with that information.
MVP Blogs LLC, also doing business as www.4Loot.com (we, or "4Loot”, or the “Company”), operates an incentive-based Internet search engine (collectively, the “Service”) that allocates a proportion of its advertising revenues to Sweepstakes giveaways. By accessing the Company’s website (the “Site”), using the Service, and/or registering with us, you agree to be bound by the terms of our Privacy Policy, our Terms and our Search Sweepstakes Official Rules.
2. Information Collected:
We only collect personal information about users that we consider necessary for providing our services in an efficient, customized and user-friendly manner. We collect your IP address, referral data, browser and platform type, and the date and time you visited the Site. We may also collect and store information based upon your behavior on the Site, such as how long you use the services, your search history (including any links that you may click within the Site), your preferences, items shared with friends, and any social connections you have created on the site. Like most standard Web site servers, we use log files to collect and store this user information. We analyze this information in order to administer the Site, to better understand user flow, to examine trends, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
When you register with 4Loot, you provide us with certain personal information, which may include your name, your email address, your gender, your age, your location and any other personal or preference information that you choose to disclose. In addition, if you allow the Site to connect with Facebook, you will be able to use your Facebook login information to log into your 4Loot account. By using Facebook Connect, you permit 4Loot to access certain Facebook information related to you, including your profile information, friends, email address, location, and privacy settings. This enables us to customize your account by allowing you to use your Facebook information and interact with your Facebook friends through the Site. Accessing your 4Loot account through Facebook Connect will also allow you to publish some of your activities to your Facebook profile.
3. Sharing Personal Information:
4Loot values your privacy and we will neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone. We may however share your personal information with 4Loot personnel and authorized consultants and/or contractors may have access to user information if necessary in the normal course of our business. In addition, in some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if 4Loot, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred. We may also release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of 4Loot, our employees, our users, or others. We may share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners. This information does not identify individual users.
Information collected during registration and subsequent visits, such as your name, location and picture, may be displayed to other 4Loot users throughout the Site, including your User Profile. The User Profile is the area on 4Loot where we display your achievements on 4Loot including the number of coins won, prizes redeemed, badges unlocked and other performance metrics. This information will be viewable by other users of the Site.
