We need to collect certain information about you to provide you with the Service or the support you request. The type of information we collect can vary depending on how you access and use our Service. Additionally, you can choose to voluntarily provide information to us. Below we have described the types of information we collect and from where we collect it.
Information you Provide to Us to Use the Service
Account information. We collect the information you provide when you sign up for a FUDLJU account, log in to your account, communicate with us, answer our surveys, upload content, or otherwise use the Services. We request an email address and date of birth when you choose to sign up for the Service so we can provide the Services to you and allow us to comply with applicable regulations. Without this information, we are not be able to provide you with the Service.
Transactional information. Users who engage in financial transactions with FUDLJU, for example to purchase an upgraded membership subscription, are asked to provide additional information in order to complete the transaction, such as a credit card number, billing address and full name.
Visitors can always refrain from supplying certain information, but it may prevent them from engaging in certain FUDLJU services which require that information.
Information You Provide to Enhance Your Experience
You can choose to provide us with additional information in order to obtain a better user experience when using the Service. This additional information will be processed with your consent and/or to provide you with services you request. This information includes your survey responses, participation in contests, promotions or other marketing efforts, suggestions for improvements, referrals, or any other actions on the Service.
Information We Get Automatically When You Use the Service
We automatically collect information about you and how you use the Service, like when you create a study set, join a class, or view and interact with your or other users’ content. This information we collect includes:
Device information. Like most website operators, FUDLJU collects information about how users visit our site and the devices they use. We collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, device identifiers like IDFA and UDID, and mobile network information). FUDLJU may associate your device identifiers or other device information with your FUDLJU Account to help us provide consistent services across your devices.
Geolocation information. We may use your IP address to generate a general approximation of where you are located in order to provide you with an improved experience. We do not request access to or collect location sensor information, such as GPS or Bluetooth beacons, from your mobile device while downloading or using our mobile apps or services.
Log information. When you use FUDLJU, we automatically collect and store certain information about this activity. This data includes details of how you used our service, like your search queries, clicks and site navigation information, or study activity. It also may include data such as:
Browser type
Language preference and time zone
Referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request
Connection information like ISP or mobile operator
Internet Protocol (IP) address
Log-in and Log-out times
Information We Collect From Other Sources
We do not control, supervise or respond for how the third parties providing your information process your personal data, and any information request regarding the disclosure of your personal information to us should be directed to such third parties.
The information we collect about you from third parties includes:
Facebook Connect and Google Login. You have the option to log in to our site using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect and Google Login. These services authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us, such as your name, date of birth, and email address, to pre-populate our sign-up form. You may, optionally, choose to provide additional information during the sign-up or linking process, such as a friends list, to enable certain features on FUDLJU.
Other users. FUDLJU may receive information about you from other users. For example, if another user chooses to use our referral service to tell a friend about our website, we may ask that user for their friend’s name and email address so we can send the invites on their behalf. You may contact us at fudljufang@gmail.com to request that we remove your information from our database.
Other partners and companies. FUDLJU may also receive information about you from other sources, including our partners, service providers or other third parties.
Information From Children
While FUDLJU is intended for users age 13 and over, if a child requests access to our website we accommodate them by offering a limited feature set and restricted website experience that removes certain features. We offer this restricted experience (“Child Account”) for accounts of all users below the age of 13 and for some users below the age of 16 where applicable under local law.
To create a Child Account, FUDLJU requires the user to submit a date of birth, username and email address. We collect a parent’s email address from a child under the age of consent if they attempt to register in order to notify the parent of their child’s use of FUDLJU and, where required, to seek parental consent for use of that data. We do not sell information from Child Accounts. We may share or distribute information from Child Accounts as described in this section and this Privacy Notice, including with parents in order to provide notice of use and gather parental consent, with third parties to support internal operations, and to provide the restricted experience on the Service to the Child Account.
We do not condition a child's participation or access to any activity on FUDLJU on the child providing any personally-identifying information or any more information than is reasonably necessary for that activity. We may use aggregated or de-identified information about children for research, analysis, marketing and other commercial purposes.
Third Party Service Providers. We use a restricted version of Google Analytics to limit data sharing and tracking on areas of our site and mobile apps that are accessed by children.
Parental Rights. Parents and legal guardians of children under 13 can consent to collection and use of a child's personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to third parties. Parents or guardians can review information their children under 13 have contributed to FUDLJU by accessing their child's account via password reset. Parents can also request that FUDLJU delete that information and refuse to allow FUDLJU to collect further information from their children by contacting FUDLJU at fudljufang@gmail.com. Learn more about this in our Managing your Account section below. FUDLJU may ask additional questions or take other steps to verify the identity of a parent or guardian before responding to a request to review or delete a child's information or a request to refuse further collection from a child.
How We Use Your Information
We collect information about you when you use the Service for a variety of reasons in order to support FUDLJU and to enable our team to continue to create engaging experiences for our users.
Providing, Analyzing, Improving and Developing the Service
We process the data we collect about you to operate, improve and develop the FUDLJU Service, including providing, maintaining, securing and improving our services, developing new ones, and protecting FUDLJU and our users. We are able to deliver our services, personalize content, and make suggestions for you by using this information to understand how you use and interact with our services. We conduct surveys and research, test features in development, and analyze the information we have to evaluate and improve products and services, develop new products or features, and conduct audits and troubleshooting activities.
Here are some examples of how we use this information:
Providing, maintaining and improving the Service. Account information we collect from you allows us to help you log in, host your content, and use the various study tools we have. It also allows us to learn about how you and others use FUDLJU to help create new activities and services, like FUDLJU Live.
Improving, personalizing and facilitating your use of the Service. When you sign up and use a FUDLJU account, we may associate certain information with your new account, such as information about other FUDLJU accounts you had or currently have, and your prior usage of the Service. For example, we use information collected from cookies and other technologies, like pixel tags, to save your language preferences, so we will be able to have our services appear in the language you prefer. We do this in order to ensure that content from the Service is presented in the most effective manner for you.
Measuring, tracking and analyzing trends and usage in connection with your use or the performance of the Service. In order to develop and enhance our products and deliver a consistent, secure and continuous experience, we need to gather certain information to analyze usage and performance of the Service. We also use mobile analytics software to pursue our legitimate interests in operating and improving FUDLJU by allowing us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your device. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events and activities that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from.
Fulfilling any other purpose disclosed to you in connection with the Service.

We also use your account information and information you provide to us to provide you with relevant information about the Service and to assist you in using the Service if required. These communications may include:
Sending you information we think you may find useful or which you have requested from us about our products and services. We may send you information about the parts of FUDLJU you use or that may be relevant to you. While we primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information and we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum, you may object to being contacted for these reasons using your personal contact information using the mechanisms provided in the FUDLJU service or using the information provided below.
Conducting surveys and collecting feedback about the Service. We do this to evaluate the effectiveness of any updates we provide.

The security of your personal information is important to us. FUDLJU takes measures reasonably designed to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of personal information.
We use our best efforts to follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, our website and apps are designed to be protected by HTTPS encryption. When you enter credit card information on our order forms, that information is intended to be encrypted and is designed to be protected by our third-party payment providers. However, the Internet is not 100% secure. We cannot promise that your use of our sites will be completely safe. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet.
