What is personal information?
“Personal Information” means information that you voluntarily submit to us and that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, address, telephone number, mobile number, or email address) or information about that individual that is directly linked to personally identifiable information. Personal Information can also include information about any transactions, both free and paid, that you enter into on the Site, and information about you that is available on the internet, such as from social media, web companies, or publicly available information that we acquire from service providers. Personal Information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect that cannot be used to identify an individual, pseudonymous data, encoded or anonymized information, and/or aggregated data we collect or create about a group or category of services, features, or users, which does not contain personally-identifying information. Our Privacy Policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of aggregate information.
What personal information do we collect?
We collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us, including, without limitation, the information you enter if you send us an email or submit or post content to the Site.
We may automatically collect certain information when you use the Site including, without limitation, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, your operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring site and your activity on the Site. We may also collect information from mobile phone users in a similar manner to optimize the mobile experience. We may collect mobile screen resolution, device make and manufacturer, and, with your permission, your location. We treat this information as Personal Information if we combine it with or link it to any of the identifying information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only.
If you post any of your information to a public area of the Site, please be aware that it is no longer “Personal Information” for purposes of this Policy, and we or anyone else may use such information without restriction.
How do we use the collected information?
We may use information that we collect about you to:
- Communicate with you by email about products or services that may be of interest to you;
- Tailor your user experience;
- Perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in our content, or content offered by others;
- Develop and display third-party content and advertising tailored to your interests on the Site and other sites;
- Enforce our Terms;
- Perform functions as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.
How is your personal information protected and secured?
We take reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
Please be aware, that email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email. Although, doing so is allowed, but at your own risk. Some of the information you may enter on our website may be transmitted securely via a secure medium known as Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL.
However, please be also aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
This Site may also contain links to third party websites. Unless otherwise stated, this Privacy Policy only covers information that we collect from you on this Site. Any other link will be covered by the privacy policy of that specific site. You acknowledge and accept that we are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third parties.
How long do we retain your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. If you submit an email address to us, this will also be retained indefinitely, or until either you unsubscribe or we decide to discontinue our email communication. Aggregate analytics data is kept for 50 months.
