Your IP Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer every time you browse the Internet. When a user requests a page from the Site, our servers will log the user's current IP address. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer the Site.
Cookies
The Site is developed using Active Server Pages (ASP), and we use per-session “cookies” (pieces of data your browser stores in your computer's memory at FlipStart Labs’s request) to establish user sessions on our server. We use the cookies to carry information about usage from page to page through the Site. FlipStart Labs does not use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer.
Most browsers are set up to accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to refuse them. If you disable cookies, your browser may experience some erratic behavior on some portions of the Site.

When you sign up to receive updates from us via the Site, we will ask you to provide us with information, including your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, mailing address and membership status (“Personal Information”).
Use of Personal Information
Except as provided below under “Disclosures for Legal Reasons”, we will not sell, trade or otherwise provide Personal Information to any third party other than to entities affiliated with FlipStart Labs or vendors we engage to perform functions on our behalf with respect to the Site that are subject to similar restrictions as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We will use Personal Information only for the purposes of sending you updates and information regarding the Site and the FlipStart product. We may compile and provide aggregate statistics about our Site visitors to third parties, but these statistics will not include any Personal Information.

Any other information other than Personal Information we collect through the Site (including, without limitation, feedback regarding the Site or any comments, ideas and suggestions you provide) is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Submission Information.”
As described in our Terms of Use, FlipStart Labs does not accept or collect Submission Information on a confidential or proprietary basis. Consequently, we are free to use Submission Information for any purpose whatsoever.
Please Note: We do not accept proposals concerning film production companies, film/TV scripts or concept papers, themed amusement parks or restaurants, music acts, record companies or recording studios.
Disclosures to Third Parties
Because FlipStart Labs does not accept or collect Submission Information on a confidential or proprietary basis, from time to time FlipStart Labs may disclose your Submission Information to third parties, including, without limitation, our consultants, our representatives and our affiliated companies.
Disclosures for Legal Reasons
FlipStart Labs will also disclose Submission Information and Personal Information when it believes, in its sole discretion, that the law requires such disclosure or that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law; protect and defend the rights or property of FlipStart Labs or others; or act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of the public or the users of the Site.
