COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: April 25, 2024

This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how Tomofun, LLC (collectively, "Tomofun," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you interact with our websites located at Furbo.com (“Furbo.com” or “Site(s)”), any mobile application (“App”) that hyperlinks to this Policy (such as Furbo), or any other websites, pages, features, or content owned or operated by Tomofun (collectively, the “Services”). It also explains how Tomofun and our partners use cookies in advertising.   Please note that we will generally refer to cookies, web beacons, flash cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies collectively as “cookies” in this Policy.

We encourage you to read the full Cookie Policy to understand how we use cookies and your choices. us, Please see our Privacy Policy for more information about how Tomofun processes your personal information. 

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

A cookie is a data file, which often includes a unique identifier, that is sent to your browser from a website or its provider and is then stored on your device’s hard drive that enables the website’s or provider’s system to recognize your browser and remember certain information held in that cookie.

The length of time a cookie will stay on your browsing device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your browsing device until they expire or are deleted.

So-called “first party cookies” are cookies which are served by the entity operating the domain through which the cookie is served. Tomofun’s own cookies are therefore “first-party cookies”. When we allow third parties to serve cookies through our Services, these cookies are called “third-party cookies”.

WHAT OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES MAY BE USED?  

We may use other similar technologies from time to time to recognize or track users of our Services. These technologies can include web beacons (also known as tracking pixels, pixel tags, or clear gifs), Java scripts, or HTML 5 local storage.

Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when a user has interacted with our Services.  For example, conversion pixels are used to track the effectiveness of an ad or email campaign by tracking when users open an e-mail, we sent them. The use of web beacons allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users within our Sites, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Sites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve our online services. In some instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Java scripts are code snippets embedded in various parts of websites and applications that facilitate a variety of operations including accelerating the refresh speed of certain functionality or monitoring usage of various online components.

HTML5 local storage allows data from websites to be stored or “cached” within your browser to store and retrieve data in HTML5 pages when the website is revisited.

We, our service providers and third parties we collaborate with, including ad networks, may use cross-device/cross-context tracking. For example, you might use multiple browsers on a single device, or use various devices (such as desktops, smartphones, and tablets), which can result in your having multiple accounts or profiles across these various contexts and devices. Cross-device/cross-context technology may be used to connect these various accounts or profiles and the corresponding data from the different contexts and devices.

HOW WE USE COOKIES

We use first-party and third-party cookies to recognize you as a Tomofun customer, customize our content, for advertising, to measure promotional effectiveness, and to collect information about your computer or other access device to mitigate risk, help prevent fraud, and promote trust and safety.

We may place cookies from third-party service providers who may use information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and services available from Tomofun. We generally do not control the types of information collected and stored by these third-party targeted advertising cookies. You should check the third-party's website for more information on how they use cookies.

The following are some examples of information that we collect and how we may use it:

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE

We may use the following types of cookies on the Services:

• Strictly Necessary Cookie: These are cookies that are required for the operation of a website and therefore disabling these cookies may make our services unavailable. Examples are cookies used for online shopping carts or to access secure areas on our Sites. These cookies do not gather information about you for marketing purposes.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our Services. They remember user choices and enable the personalization of content. These cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your username, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. While these cookies can be disabled, this may result in less functionality during your use of our Services.
• Performance/Analytics Cookies: These cookies track information about your visits to the Services so that we can make improvements and report on performance. These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Services, which site or page the user came from, the number of each user’s visits and how long a user stays on the Services. We may also use analytics cookies to test new features to see how users react to them.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: We and third-party advertising partners may use cookies to collect data from visitors to our Services for targeted advertising purposes. These cookies may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other Internet properties. They are based on uniquely identifying your browser and Internet device.

Opting out of Third-Party Analytics.  We may use third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of our online, web-based, and mobile-based Services, such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics is an analytics service offered by Google LLC (“Google”) that tracks and reports website traffic. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. To opt out of Google Analytics or to prevent your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics, please visit: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Do Not Track Signals. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to Do Not Track signals or other mechanisms, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Sites and after you leave our Sites.

Disabling Most Interest Based Advertising. 

Website-based Advertising. Many advertising companies that collect information for interest-based advertising are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), both of which maintain websites where people can opt out of interest-based advertising from their members. To opt out of website interest-based advertising provided by each organization’s respective participating companies, visit the DAA’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.aboutads.info/, or visit the NAI’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1. Residents of the European Union may opt-out of online behavioral advertising served by the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s participating member organizations by visiting https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/. Please note, to disable advertising cookies, some third parties may need to set an opt-out cookie on your device. Sometimes a device’s configuration may prevent such third parties from setting such cookies, for example, if your device is set to block all third party cookies by default. This means that you may need to change your device settings to accept cookies to fully disable advertising cookies.

Mobile App Advertising.  When you use our mobile applications, we or our marketing partners may use one or more of several different identifiers for your mobile device, including Apple Identifier For Advertising (IDFA) or Android Advertising ID (AAID), to target and deliver ads to you in our app or other apps. This means that your device identifier may be accessed by third-party ad networks and used to (a) help manage the number and types of ads you see; (b) track the source of installs related to ads seen in other apps; and (c) identify your interests and behavior and target advertising to you based on those interests and behavior.

Apple requires app developers to ask for permission before they can track your activity across apps or websites they do not own in order to target advertising to you, measure your actions due to advertising, or to share your information with data brokers.  If you previously gave our mobile app permission to track, you can tell our app to stop tracking your activity. On iOS or IPadOS, go to Settings, tap on our app, then tap to turn off Allow Tracking.  You can also reset your IDFA from your mobile device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to your previous IDFA.

If you have an Android device, and are running Android 12 or above, you can delete your AAID permanently by opening Settings, navigating to Privacy > Ads, tapping “Delete advertising ID,” then tapping it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future. Please note that if you do so, you will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your inferred interests.

You may also access industry-provided opt-out tools, although they are not tailored to our mobile applications.  For instance, to opt-out of data collection by the Digital Advertising Alliance’s participating member companies for interest-based advertising across mobile applications, download the DAA’s App Choices mobile application opt-out offering at https://youradchoices.com/appchoices.
