Who we are
Our website address is: http://einformation.inYour privacy is very important to us. At einformation we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
It is einformation’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Comments and other content submitted to Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, einformation collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. einformation’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how einformation’s visitors use its website. From time to time, einformation may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
einformation also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. einformation only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to einformation’s websites choose to interact with einformation in ways that require einformation to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that einformation gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive einformation updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, einformation collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with einformation. einformation does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
einformation may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, einformation monitors spam by Akismet service to identify spam comment. einformation may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, einformation does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying information
einformation discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on einformation’s behalf or to provide services available at einformation’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using einformation’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. einformation will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, einformation discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental requests, or when einformation believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of einformation, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an einformation website and have supplied your email address, einformation may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with einformation and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. einformation takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
