feature offered as part of any KFC Site
that enables users or visitors of any

to a KFC Site by way of any Public Forum
may be routed through our servers, the

our behalf and the Internet, and may be
viewed on the Internet by the general
public and that, therefore, you have no
expectation of privacy with regard to
any such submission. You acknowledge
that Public Forums and features offered
therein are for public and not private
communications. Please keep in mind that
whenever you give out personal
information online, through any media,
including without limitation, a Public

and used by people you don't know. We
cannot guarantee the security of any
information you disclose through any of
these media; you make such disclosures
at your own risk.
You are and shall remain solely
responsible for the User-Generated

never assume that people are who they
say they are, know what they say they
know, or are affiliated with whom they
say they are affiliated with.
