4. Cookies. SaltyFig.com may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality. SaltyFig.com reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on the Site.

5. Personal Information from Users. SaltyFig.com may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, to enforce its policies, to respond to claims that content violates the rights of others, or to protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. Such information will be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

SaltyFig.com may also share your personal information with:

Service providers under contract who help with the business operations of SaltyFig.com.
Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask SaltyFig.com to send your information (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service).
Law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity. In such events, SaltyFig.com will disclose information relevant to the investigation, such as name, city, state, zip code, telephone number, email address, User ID history, IP address, and complaints.
Other business entities, should SaltyFig.com plan to merge with or be acquired by that business entity. (Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information will be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)

Without limiting any of the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and our ability to keep the community free from bad actors, SaltyFig.com will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when SaltyFig.com believes in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.

6. Third Party Advertising. SaltyFig.com uses third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies use non-personally identifiable information regarding your visit to the Site and other sites, such as the user IP address, pages viewed, date and time of your visit, and number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, address, or other personal information), to serve ads to you on the Site and other sites that may be of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to the Site, SaltyFig.com's third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. In addition, SaltyFig.com uses clear GIFs or pixel tags to help manage our online advertising. These clear GIFs enable SaltyFig.com's ad serving company to recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits the Site. This allows SaltyFig.com to learn which banner ads bring users to the Site. The information collected and shared through this technology is not personally identifiable.

7. Information Collection and Use. SaltyFig.com uses any information provided to us for the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.
