FanFest.com (“FanFest,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the entertainment-news website at https://fanfest.com (the “Website”) from the United States. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled when you browse the Website, register to comment, post comments, or contact us. Personal information means information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you or your device.
For privacy questions or requests, contact info@fanfest.com. For the activities described here, FanFest.com is the organization responsible for its processing of personal information, including where applicable as a data controller. Third parties may also be independently responsible for their own processing.
Scope of this policy
This policy covers the entertainment-news Website and its current comment-registration and advertising features. FanFest does not currently offer newsletter subscriptions, separate community accounts beyond comment registration, forums, private messaging, reader-submission programs, giveaways, surveys, purchases, or a marketplace. Those planned services are outside the current scope of this policy. We will update the relevant disclosures before introducing new collection or uses of personal information.
This policy does not govern an unrelated website merely because it advertises on, or is linked from, our Website. However, using a third-party platform to provide a Website feature does not remove our responsibility for personal information processed on our behalf. The Cookie Policy below forms part of these disclosures.
Information you provide
Comment registration requires a name and an active email address. Third-party platforms handle registration information and submitted comments for this feature. We also process the content you post and information associated with your comment registration. Registration to comment is not a subscription to a newsletter.
If you email us, we receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any information or attachments you choose to send. This includes information provided when you request account deletion or exercise privacy rights.
Comments are intended for public display. Information you include in a comment may be read, copied, indexed, or redistributed by other people. Do not include contact details or other information you do not want made public in the text of a comment.
FanFest does not currently offer purchases through the Website and does not store payment information. If purchasing features are introduced, payment processing and the associated privacy disclosures will be addressed before launch.
Information collected through website use and advertising
The Website and its technical or advertising providers may receive device and usage information, such as IP addresses, browser and operating-system details, cookie or device identifiers, pages viewed, referring pages, access times, and interactions with advertisements. An IP address may indicate an approximate geographic area. Cookies, pixels, local storage, server logs, and similar technologies may be involved, depending on the provider and Website configuration.
Third-party advertising providers may collect information directly from your browser and combine it with information from other websites, services, or devices to select personalized advertisements, retarget visitors, measure advertising performance, limit repeated ads, or detect invalid activity. The Cookie Policy explains these practices and available external controls in more detail.
Information processed through third-party platforms can still be personal information associated with FanFest services. The fact that FanFest does not store payment information, or does not itself operate the platform storing comment details, does not mean that no personal information is collected.
How information is used
We use comment-registration details and comments to enable participation, administer comment registration, moderate discussions, address misuse, and respond to user requests. We use correspondence to answer messages, verify and fulfill appropriate privacy requests, and maintain records of their handling.
Technical and usage information supports Website delivery, troubleshooting, security, fraud and spam prevention, and advertising delivery or measurement. Advertising providers may use identifiers, browsing activity, approximate location, and inferred interests for personalized advertising and retargeting, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Information may also be used to comply with legal obligations, investigate suspected violations, resolve disputes, establish or defend legal claims, and protect the rights and safety of users and others.
Who receives information
Website service providers may handle information needed to provide hosting, comment registration and moderation, technical support, security, communications, and related operations. The information involved depends on the service, and may include registration details, comments, messages, or technical records. Providers processing information for FanFest and providers acting for their own purposes can have different legal responsibilities.
Advertising providers may receive identifiers, browsing and ad-interaction information, approximate location, and inferred interests. Their processing may include their own advertising purposes. Comment content is also disclosed to the public when published.
We do not currently share commenter or customer contact lists with sponsors, event partners, or related businesses for their independent marketing. Any introduction of that practice will require updated disclosures and the choices or permissions required by applicable law.
We may disclose relevant information when legally required, to respond to valid legal process, to protect rights or safety, or to investigate fraud or unlawful activity. Information may also be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, or sale of the Website or business assets, subject to applicable legal protections. We may disclose information at your direction or with your permission.
Advertising and privacy choices
We do not describe advertising data as anonymous merely because it does not include a name. Under some U.S. state privacy laws, disclosures for personalized advertising can constitute a “sale,” “sharing,” or processing for “targeted advertising,” even when no contact list is sold and no money is paid for the information itself.
Where applicable law provides a right to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, you may submit a request to info@fanfest.com. Please identify the Website and describe your request. An advertising opt-out does not necessarily stop all advertisements; it may affect personalization or the data used to select them. FanFest may not be able to associate browser identifiers with your email address, and browser-level choices may need to be made on each browser or device.
For information about browser privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control, or assistance with available choices, contact info@fanfest.com. The Cookie Policy describes the current availability of Website cookie controls. External browser or advertising-provider settings have their own scope and limitations.
Retention and deletion
Comment-registration details and comments are retained until the associated comment account is deleted. To request deletion, email info@fanfest.com using the email address associated with your registration where possible. We may request information reasonably necessary to confirm that the request relates to your account.
On a verified deletion request, we will arrange deletion of the associated registration details and comments from the systems used to provide that feature, subject to applicable legal exceptions. Information that must be kept to meet a legal obligation, address fraud or security concerns, resolve a dispute, or establish or defend a legal claim may be retained for that limited purpose. Copies already collected or republished by unrelated parties may remain outside our control.
The comment-account retention period does not set the retention period for advertising cookies, technical logs, correspondence, or privacy-request records. Those periods depend on the purpose, applicable legal obligations, provider settings, and whether continued retention is necessary. You may contact us for further information about a particular category or provider.
Privacy rights and requests
Depending on your location, the laws that apply to FanFest, and any relevant exceptions, you may have rights to confirm whether information is processed; access or obtain a copy of it; correct inaccuracies; request deletion; restrict processing; receive portable data; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; or opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling. Additional rights concerning sensitive information may apply where that information is processed. These rights are not identical in every jurisdiction.
Send requests to info@fanfest.com. You do not need to use a special subject line. We may reasonably verify identity for access, correction, or deletion requests, or confirm an agent’s authority, where appropriate and permitted by law. We will not require account creation to exercise a right or impose identity verification on opt-out requests where prohibited. We will respond within applicable legal time limits and explain any lawful refusal or limitation. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.
Where an appeal right applies, you may appeal a decision by emailing info@fanfest.com and explaining why you believe it should be reconsidered. You may also complain to the relevant regulator, including your U.S. state attorney general, an EU supervisory authority, the UK Information Commissioner, or the appropriate Canadian federal or provincial privacy commissioner, as applicable.
Information for UK EU and Canadian visitors
Where EU or UK data protection law applies, core comment-registration processing is intended to support the service you request. Depending on the circumstances, the applicable legal basis may be steps to enter into or perform a contract, legitimate interests in operating and securing the Website and managing correspondence, or compliance with a legal obligation. Any reliance on legitimate interests requires consideration of your interests and fundamental rights. Advertising and tracking that require consent must be based on valid consent; the publication of this policy or your continued use of the Website does not itself provide that consent.
For Canadian visitors, consent and withdrawal requirements depend on the information, purpose, and applicable federal or provincial law. You may contact us to ask about access, correction, our handling of your information, or withdrawing consent, subject to lawful restrictions. If information is necessary to provide comment registration, declining to provide it or requesting its deletion may prevent use of that feature; reading Website content does not require comment registration.
International processing
FanFest operates in the United States. Information may be processed in the United States or other countries where Website providers operate. Those countries may have privacy laws different from your own, and information may be subject to lawful access by authorities in the country of processing. For information about relevant recipients, processing locations, or any applicable transfer safeguards, contact info@fanfest.com. Required international-transfer protections cannot be supplied merely by accepting this policy or continuing to use the Website.
Children and teenagers
FanFest is intended for a broad audience aged 13 and older and is not intended for children under 13. We do not collect ages as part of comment registration and do not operate a parental-consent process. Children under 13 should not register to comment or submit personal information to us.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Website, contact info@fanfest.com. We will investigate and take appropriate steps to remove information collected contrary to applicable requirements. Local law may impose additional protections or consent requirements for teenagers; an age-13 audience statement does not waive those protections.
Security and third party services
Protecting information requires appropriate technical and organizational measures, including appropriate arrangements with providers handling it. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information in comments or email, and contact info@fanfest.com if you believe your comment registration has been misused or personal information has been exposed.
External websites and services linked from advertisements or content have their own privacy notices. Review those notices before providing information directly to them. An independent third party’s notice does not replace FanFest’s obligations for its own processing or for providers acting on its behalf.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the Website or its practices change. We will revise the dates above and provide additional notice or seek consent where required by applicable law. New purposes or services will be addressed before the relevant processing begins. Continued Website use does not substitute for any consent required by law.
For privacy questions, requests, complaints, information about providers, or an accessible version of this policy, email info@fanfest.com.
