Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. MYKOfan cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is. |

The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated as cookies enable you to take advantage of some of MYKOfan's most attractive features. |

| |
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if MYKOfan, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred. |
|
|
| |
We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law, enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of MYKOfan, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. |
|
