Your privacy is critically important to us. At MaizeCob we have a few fundamental principles:
- 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 one of our services.
- In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible
for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines,
kept private, and permanently deleted.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, MaizeCob 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. MaizeCob's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying
information is to better understand how MaizeCob's visitors use its
website. From time to time, MaizeCob's may release
non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by
publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
MaizeCob's also collects potentially personally-identifying
information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users
and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. MaizeCob 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 MaizeCob websites choose to interact with MaizeCob in ways that require MaizeCob to gather
personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information
that MaizeCob gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.
MaizeCob 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
MaizeCob may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to
its websites. For instance, MaizeCob may monitor the most popular
blogs on the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet
service to help identify spam. MaizeCob may display this information
publicly or provide it to others. However, MaizeCob does not disclose
personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
MaizeCob 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 MaizeCob behalf or to provide
services available at MaizeCob 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 MaizeCob websites, you consent to the transfer of such
information to them. MaizeCob 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, MaizeCob discloses potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in
response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or
when MaizeCob believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably
necessary to protect the property or rights of MaizeCob, third parties
or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an MaizeCob website and have supplied your email address, MaizeCob 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 MaizeCob 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. Automattic takes all measures
reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use,
alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a
visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the
website each time the visitor returns. MaizeCob uses cookies to help MaizeCob identify and track visitors, their usage of MaizeCob website, and their website access preferences. MaizeCob
visitors who
do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their
browsers to refuse cookies before using MaizeCob
websites, with the
drawback that certain features of MaizeCob
websites may not function
properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If MaizeCob
, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or
in the unlikely event that MaizeCob
goes out of business or enters
bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is
transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such
transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of MaizeCob
may continue to
use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
Ads
Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by
advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad
server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online
advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your
computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things,
deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most
interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by MaizeCob
and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Comments
Comments and other content submitted to our 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.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, MaizeCob
may change
its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in MaizeCob
sole
discretion. MaizeCob
encourages visitors to frequently check this page
for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this
Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
