In general, Munky does not collect, store,
use or disclose personally identifying information. The instances
in which Munky does collect and use information are specifically
described in this Privacy Policy. Munky provides fun, easy to
use services, including Munky Search (located at www.munky.com)(the
"Services"). Munky values its users and their concerns
about privacy. To this end, Munky engages in consistent information
practices and uses its best efforts to make clear disclosures
regarding those practices. This Privacy Policy is a part of that
effort.
What
does this Privacy Policy cover?
This
Privacy Policy applies to collection, use, storage and disclosure
of information by Munky. If there are any exceptions, we will
clearly disclose them prior to collecting any information, and
will give you an opportunity to choose not to participate or provide
the information. By using the Services and our Web site, you consent
to the collection and use of your information as we outline in
this Privacy Policy. Munky may decide to change this Privacy Policy
from time to time. When we do, we will post any changes here so
that you are always informed of the information we collect, how
we use it, and the circumstances under which we disclose it. Please
be aware that, as part of the Services, Munky provides links to
Web sites operated by third parties. Munky is not responsible
for the information collection or privacy practices or the content
of those third party Web sites or applications. Also, please be
aware that banner ads on Munky are provided by a third party,
which may collect cookies as part of the process of serving those
ads. These cookies are typically used for the purpose of tracking
performance of the banner ads. Munky does not determine which
information will be collected by that third party. Please see
the paragraph below regarding Third Party Banner Ads.
Third
Party Banner Ads
We use other third-party advertising companies to serve ads when
you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (not
including your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number)
about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide
advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services
that may be of interest to you. If you would like more information

What
information does Munky collect?
Munky
may collect any or all of the following three types of information:
(a) traffic or clickstream data, (b) cookies, (c) contact information
and other personally identifying information. Munky's collection
and use of each type of data is described below, as well as the
ways (if any) in which the data may be shared with third parties.
(a)
Traffic or Clickstream Data.
Data about traffic and usage is not personally
identifying or identifiable, and is not supplemented or combined
with personally identifying or identifiable information. Munky
may share information it collects with certain selected third
parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous form. Munky collects
some information regarding use of the Services by observing browser
functions and the files (pages) users access. For example, Munky's
servers collect information about the most frequently searched
terms to help provide the most relevant search results, information
about usage to check for fraudulent behavior or other abnormalities
and to ensure that our Services are technically superior. In addition
to the foregoing applications, Munky uses the information (in
aggregate form) to better design the Services.
(b)
Cookies. Like
many sites, Munky collects information about online behavior using
cookies. These cookies contain identification information that
enables us to see how our users are interacting with our site
and how frequently they are returning, as well as to streamline
their experiences using the Services. Our cookies do not contain
any personally identifiable information. Cookies let us know about
repeat visitors and if we are delivering quality products and
services. To Munky, using information within cookies is an anonymous
way to survey how we are doing and to look for ways to improve
our Services.
(d)
Contact Information or Personally Identifying Information.
Munky can obtain access to your name, e-mail
address and other contact information only (1) when you send email
directly to Munky.com, provide comments, submit a problem, or
request information from Munky and provide your name or return
contact information, or (2) in connection with special offers
or contests which you have decided to participate in. Contact
information provided in connection with problems, comments or
requests is used only to respond to those problems, comments or
requests. This information is not stored or used in connection
with traffic or clickstream data and is provided to a third party
only as necessary to respond to the comment, problem or request.
Finally, you may choose to provide contact information, other
personally identifying information, and demographic information
in order to participate in optional surveys.
Is
data stored by Munky secure?
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information,
Munky has put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures
to safeguard and secure the information it collects online. However,
data security is a constantly evolving art and science. You should
consider any communication that you transmit to Munky (such as
data, questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as non-confidential,
and agree that Munky will not be liable or responsible if information
that belongs to you is intercepted and used by an unintended recipient.
How
do I find out more about Munky's information practices?
If you have any questions about anything
in this Privacy Policy, or about collection of personally identifiable
information, or information generally, do not hesitate to contact
us.
