Your privacy is very important to me. Accordingly, I have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how this site collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information. The following outlines this site’s privacy policy.
INFORMATION COLLECTION
Two types of information about users of this site are collected:
1) Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive electronic newsletters, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys.
2) Aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout this site.
This site also use cookies to store information about visitor preferences and to record user-specific information on visits and pages the user views so as to provide a custom experience. In regard to third-party advertisers, this site has no access or control over these cookies. You should review the respective privacy policies on any and all third-party ad servers for more information regarding their practices and how to opt-out.
If you wish to disable cookies you may do so through your web browser options. Instructions for doing so and for other cookie-related management can be found on the specific web browser’s website.
Google, a third party vendor, uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads on the blog section of this site. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting Google’s Content Network Privacy Policy.
Amazon Affiliates, a third party system, uses cookies to serve advertisements and links to products on Amazon.com. You may read more about Amazon Affiliates and their Operating Agreement here.
Consistent with the Federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), this site will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
USE OF INFORMATION
I create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns in order to tailor content to users. However, I do not correlate this information with data about individual users. I do break down overall usage statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user’s browser).
These statistics help determine which areas of the site users like and don’t like. I do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall.
I use information voluntarily given by users to enhance their experience on this site, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements or to better prepare future content based on user interests.
STORAGE & SECURITY
I will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
INFORMATION SHARING
I will not share or disclose any information about any individual user with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal processes or to protect the personal safety of users or the public.
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of the above–outlined information by me, Geremy Coy. If I decide to change this privacy policy, I will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information I collect, how I use it, and under what circumstances I disclose it.
I am committed to conducting my business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.
