Sale of Personal Information

Fame Memoir does not sell personal information and also celebrities under 16 years of age. Profiled celebrities may contact us to opt out of inclusion.

First-Party Cookies

Fame Memoir does not use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, and we don’t set any first-party cookies to help deliver more targeted ads.

Third-party cookies and Sharing of Personal Information for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising

Third-party advertising companies use your personal information to serve ads when you visit famememoir.com. These advertising networks usually place cookies to develop a profile of your browsing interests and serve advertisements on other websites that are related to your interests. You will see less advertising if you disable these cookies. You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative for more information about this practice and how to use your cookie settings to manage advertising.

Opting Out of Sharing

We provide a “frictionless” opt-out of sharing using a Global Privacy Control signal. Please visit the Global Privacy Control website to learn more about how to use the Global Privacy Control signal for a frictionless opt-out. You may also use the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link in the footer of our website to opt out of sharing and to otherwise configure your privacy choices.

Disclosure to Successors

If our business is sold or merges in whole or in part with another business that would become responsible for providing Fame Memoir to you, we retain the right to transfer any information to the new business.

Celebrity Personal Information

Celebrities are people too, and the information we share with the public about celebrities will in some cases be subject to privacy rights. We are committed to honoring the privacy rights of the celebrities we profile but recognize also that our users have the right to know many facts about these public figures. We carefully consider both sets of rights concerning applicable law and regulation on a case-by-case basis when making determinations on any celebrity privacy requests.

We are committed to accuracy in all of our published information and we will generally consider updates and corrections. We do not accept facts received directly from any celebrity under 13 years of age, or from any celebrity under 16 years of age from Europe and the UK.
