Fancy Media (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we collect, use, and safeguard it. This Privacy Policy applies to our website at https://www.fancymedia.com and all related services, including SMS communications. By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information only as necessary to provide our services. This may include:
- Contact information — your name, email address, phone number, or mailing address when voluntarily submitted via forms or inquiries.
- Comment and engagement data — when you leave a comment, we collect the information entered in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
- Account information — if you register on our website, we store the personal information provided in your user profile.
- Technical data — IP addresses, browser type, and cookies (see Section 4).
- Media uploads — uploaded images may contain embedded location metadata (EXIF/GPS data) that can be extracted by visitors. We recommend removing such metadata before uploading.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to customer-initiated sales inquiries and support requests; facilitate website functionality including comment moderation and spam detection; maintain and improve our website and services; comply with applicable legal obligations; and protect the security and integrity of our systems.
We do not use your personal information for unsolicited marketing, and we do not sell or rent your personal data to any third party.
3. SMS / Text Message Communications
We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. We may share your Personal Data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.
All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Fancy Media uses SMS text messaging exclusively for customer-initiated sales inquiries and customer support communications. We do not send SMS marketing messages, promotional campaigns, or unsolicited text messages of any kind. SMS communications are only sent in direct response to a customer contacting us with a sales or support inquiry.
How to Opt In: SMS consent is obtained at the time you submit a sales or support inquiry and provide your mobile number. By submitting your mobile number in connection with a request for service, you are affirmatively consenting to receive SMS responses related to that request only. We will not enroll you in SMS communications without this direct action on your part. Standard message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply.
How to Opt Out: Reply STOP to any SMS message from us at any time. Upon receiving your STOP request, we will send one final confirmation message and no further SMS will be sent to your number. To re-enable SMS communications at a later date, contact us directly.
How to Get Help: Reply HELP to any message, or email us at support@fancymedia.net for any SMS-related assistance.
Additional SMS Keywords:
- STOP — Opt out of all SMS communications immediately
- HELP — Receive our support contact information
- INFO — Receive information about our SMS policy
No Marketing SMS: Your mobile number will never be used for promotional campaigns, advertisements, or any unsolicited messaging.
No Third-Party Sharing: Your mobile phone number and SMS consent data will never be shared with, sold to, or transferred to any third party or affiliate for marketing, promotional, or any other purposes.
4. Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience. A summary of the cookies we set:
- Comment cookies — if you opt in when leaving a comment, your name, email, and website are saved in cookies for convenience for up to one year.
- Session detection cookie — a temporary cookie is set on the login page to verify your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
- Login cookies — upon login, cookies preserve your session (two days) and screen display preferences (one year). “Remember Me” extends your session to two weeks. These are removed upon logout.
- Editor cookie — when you edit or publish a post, a cookie containing only the post ID is set. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.
You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect certain site functionality.
5. Embedded Content from Third Parties
Pages on our site may include embedded content from third-party services (videos, images, social media posts, etc.). Embedded content behaves as though you visited that third party’s website directly — those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interactions, particularly if you are logged into an account on their platform.
6. How We Share Your Data
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to outside parties. Limited sharing may occur only for spam detection (via automated spam services and Gravatar — see the Gravatar Privacy Policy), legal requirements when required by law or valid legal process, and security purposes to protect the rights, property, or safety of Fancy Media, our users, or others.
Under no circumstances will your mobile phone number or SMS consent data be shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
7. Data Retention
Comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely to support moderation. User account information is retained while the account is active. Inquiry and support records, including SMS correspondence, are retained for a reasonable period for business and legal purposes.
8. Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, as well as the right to object to certain processing and to opt out of SMS communications at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@fancymedia.net. We will respond to all verifiable requests within 30 days.
9. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including strict access controls, internal data handling policies, and regular security audits. Only authorized personnel may access personal data, and only to the extent necessary for their responsibilities.
