dotFM® Privacy Policy
(effective June 1, 2001)
This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting our Web
site or by otherwise interacting with dotFM, you agree to accept the
practices described in this Privacy Policy. For questions on the Privacy
Policy please contact privacy@dot.fm.
Your privacy is very important to dotFM, a division on BRS Media
Inc., which owns all information collected from the site and is the
exclusive registry of domain names in the ".fm" country code
top-level domain (the "Registry"). dotFM also offers a domain
name registration service and other supplementary products and services
(the "Service"). We recognize your right to confidentiality
and are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy statement
describes how we collect information, how we use the information we
collect, and to whom and under what conditions we may disclose this
information. This statement reflects our concern with your privacy.
Please understand that the following statement applies to www.dot.fm
only.
When you use our Service, dotFM asks for your first and last
name, organization, city, state, zip code (or country and postal code
for non-U.S. residents), telephone number, e-mail address, and credit
card information. We may use this personally identifiable information to
contact you about your account or other matters relating to the Service,
such as to inform you about new features on our Site. We may also use
this personally identifiable information to send you our newsletter or
e-mail messages regarding products or services we think you might be
interested in. (See below for instructions on how you can "opt
out" of our newsletter or these e-mail messages.) These
communications are essential to our relationship with you and to our
ability to provide you with quality products and services that are
responsive to your needs. At the same time, these communications, and
your responses to them, give us helpful insights about you, your
preferences and the ways in which we might improve our services. We
therefore may maintain this information for future use. When you utilize
the Service, we may also ask you for a "screen name." Although
we may not use it now, the screen name you select may appear on the web
site in connection with future services we provide.
Like many other commercial web sites, our Site employs a standard
technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how
our Site is used, such as which pages are the most frequently visited by
our customers. "Cookies" are small pieces of electronic
information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard
drive. Cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser and provide
personalized information and features such as pre-populated address
forms and storage of selected items in your Shopping Cart between
visits. Cookies are required for normal website functionality, and most
web browsers automatically accept cookies, although you can usually
change your browser to deactivate cookies by modifying your computer
browser preferences. If you choose to deactivate cookies, please note
that deactivation of cookies will sometimes hinder your ability to use
some features available from the Service. Through the use of cookies, we
take note of whether and how you use the information and services that
we provide, such as by recording site traffic patterns and by
maintaining log files of your access to various parts of the Site. We
may collect the information passed along by your web browser that
references the Web URL you linked from, the time, type of web browser
being used, screen size, Internet speed of connection, the operating
system/platform, and CPU speed. This information may be used to identify
demographic trends and to provide information tailored to your
interests.
Cookies may also be utilized by third parties who advertise or
provide links on the Site. Due to the way the Internet technically
operates, dotFM cannot the control data collection activities by such
third-party advertisers or linked web sites. You should contact these
advertisers or web site operators if you have any questions about their
use of the information they collect. Also, if you register a .fm domain
name through another registrar, you may receive a cookie from that
registrar, but you will not receive a cookie from us.
Registrants may elect not to receive e-mail communications from dotFM
regarding other products or services provided by dotFM or BRS Media Inc.
To do so, please send an email to privacy@dot.fm
that reads, "Remove from E-mail List." You can also fax us at
+1 (415) 677-4025 or send us mail at:

dotFM understands that security is important to our users. The
information we receive from or about you is stored on systems designed
to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration
or destruction of that information. When you transmit personal
information to us, we encrypt it using SSL (Secure Socket Layer), the
industry standard for encryption software. Encryption provides a secure
means to protect your information as it passes over the web to our
server. dotFM utilizes Thawte SSL Web Server Certificates to offer
secure communications by encrypting all data to and from the site. You
can verify this certificate by clicking here:
dotFM will use commercially available and acceptable means to
protect any information you provide, but cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us from our products and
services, and you do so at your own risk. dotFM will not be liable for
disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission
or unauthorized acts of third parties.
As the registry for all .fm domain names, and a registrar for .am;
.tv; .com; .net & .org domain names, we may make certain
information about you available to the general public via our domain
name look-up and directory "whois" service (e.g., name,
address, telephone and email of the Registrant). Additionally, we may
share the information stored on that database, as well as other
information we collect or you provide, with our subsidiaries and other
parties selected by us, including with the parties or circumstances
including, but not limited to:
· Agents or vendors who are responsible for handling your
Account or performing
other necessary service that you or we require.
· Business partners whose services you may request or
access on or through our
Site.
· Business partners or vendors who we believe offer
products or services that may
be of interest to you.
· Transfer of ownership of our business or a part of our
business. If our business
or a part of our business is acquired, sold or
transferred to another business,
customer information may be a part of that
acquisition, sale or transfer.
If you do not want us to share personally identifiable
information about you with our business partners or vendors, you may
send us e-mail at privacy@dot.fm. You may not opt out from having your
personal information displayed in our "whois" database.
We may enter into agreements to allow third party registrars of
domain. When users register .fm domain names through these third party
registrars, we will transfer the registration information collected
during the registration process to the .fm Registry. We may also be
required to submit this information to ICANN (Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers), or other regulatory bodies.
Although dotFM is committed to protecting your privacy, not all
other Web sites are as conscientious. Therefore, dotFM cannot be
responsible for the content or privacy policies of other Web sites
including those of advertisers to which it may link and those which link
to dotFM. This Privacy Policy applies only to the information collected
by this Web site. We ask that you review the privacy policies of every
online service you use before submitting personal information.
We welcome your feedback. If you have questions or comments about
our privacy policies, please feel free to send us an e-mail at privacy@dot.fm
or by mail at:
BRS Media Inc.
