Except as otherwise noted in this Privacy Policy, GoFISHn does not share personal information about Users with third parties unless doing so is appropriate to carry out a User’s request or it reasonably believes that doing so is legally required or is in GoFISHn’s interest to protect its property or other legal rights or the rights or property of others.

Consistent with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of thirteen (13) without requiring parental consent. Any person who provides their personal information to GoFISHn through the GoFISHn Site represents that they are 13 years of age or older.
GoFISHn may allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the GoFISHn Site. These third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear within the GoFISHn Site. They may automatically receive your IP Address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize their advertising content.
GoFISHn does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in. However, please note that if an advertiser asks GoFISHn to show an advertisement to a certain audience or audience segment and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they were trying to reach.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks. GoFISHn’s Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or websites. Additionally, you can use the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) opt-out tool here to change your cookie preferences with respect to NAI member advertisers.
No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems. We use secure server software (SSL) and firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software.
If GoFISHn learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the GoFISHn Site or providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the GoFISHn Site. GoFISHn may post a notice on the GoFISHn Site if a security breach occurs. If this happens, you will need a web browser enabling you to view GoFISHn’s Service. GoFISHn may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should notify us via email at info@gofishn.com.

If you are a User accessing the GoFISHn Site from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU and other regions, and by providing your personal data you consent to:
If GoFISHn should ever file for bankruptcy or have its assets sold to or merge with another entity, information GoFISHn receives from you through the GoFISHn Site is a GoFISHn asset and may be transferred.
