It is BelEdit Consulting’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, BelEdit Consulting 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. BelEdit Consulting’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how BelEdit Consulting’s visitors use its website.
BelEdit Consulting also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on articles. BelEdit Consulting 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 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 BelEdit Consulting’s websites choose to interact with BelEdit Consulting in ways that require BelEdit Consulting to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that BelEdit Consulting gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our articles to provide a username and email address. For those who wish to receive BelEdit Consulting updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, BelEdit Consulting collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with BelEdit Consulting. BelEdit Consulting 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, such as submitting a contact form. (You can contact us by telephone or email if you prefer.)
Aggregated Statistics
BelEdit Consulting may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, BelEdit Consulting may monitor the most popular pages on the beledit.com site using Google Analytics or use the Akismet service to help identify spam. BelEdit Consulting may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, BelEdit Consulting does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
BelEdit Consulting takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. BelEdit Consulting 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 BelEdit Consulting’s behalf or to provide services available at BelEdit Consulting’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 BelEdit Consulting’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. BelEdit Consulting 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, BelEdit Consulting discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when BelEdit Consulting believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of BelEdit Consulting, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an BelEdit Consulting website and have supplied your email address, BelEdit Consulting 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 BelEdit Consulting and our products. However, it’s much more likely that you’ll never hear from us!
