What Personal information is collected

In a normal case, FTXCollapse (“Site) is not collecting any personally identifiable information. However, there are some cases where FTXCollapse might need a visitor’s email address to perform a service (ex., Newsletter, Submit a story, Contact form, etc.). In such cases email addresses will be explicitly requested, and visitors notified. Once collected, these emails are used for the sole purpose of the function intended by visitors. They will not be passed to any third party.
