It is necessary for the site ("fur.ly") and the operator's ("khell.net") other services to collect information about visitors in order to function. This privacy policy details and describes the information we collect. Please read through this carefully.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, fur.ly collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. khell.net’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how fur.ly’s visitors use its website. From time to time, khell.net may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
fur.ly also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. khell.net does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to fur.ly choose to interact with fur.ly in ways that require khell.net to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that khell.net gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, our primary function requires urls to be personally provided by the user. In each case, khell.net collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with fur.ly. khell.net does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below, and visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
khell.net may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, khell.net may review popular shortened urls. khell.net may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, khell.net does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
khell.net discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on khell.net’s behalf, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using khell.net’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. khell.net will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, khell.net discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when khell.net believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of khell.net and its site(s), third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a khell.net. website and have supplied your email address, khell.net. may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with khell.net. and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. khell.net. takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. However, if khell.net. or any of its products is sold to a new owner, whether by merger, stock sale, asset sale or other means, we retain the right to transfer your profile, Site Data and all other content, data and information to this new owner, provided the owner agrees to respect the Privacy Policy in effect with respect to this personal data.
