Privacy PolicyHome Your privacy is very important!
This site is owned and operated by James K. Thomas. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to me. I do not gather any information for the purpose of selling it to any third party. Further, with the exception of legal obligation to do so, I do not share your personal information with anyone! This privacy statement discloses what information I gather and how I use it.
INFORMATION THIS SITE GATHERS AND TRACKS I gather two types of information about users: 1. Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to subscribe to services, purchase products, make a donation, or to submit an inquiry. 2. Information I gather through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout the site. This information allows me to better tailor my content to readers' needs and to better understand the demographics of my audience. Under no circumstances do I divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.
Usage tracking I track user traffic patterns throughout all of my sites. 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).
I sometimes track and catalog the search terms that users enter in my Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. I use tracking information to determine which areas of my sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. I do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps me continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies I do not use tracking cookies or any other devices to monitor user behavior on any site other than this one, or to obtain, or attempt to obtain, personally identifiable information. A cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable me to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can not read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. I use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie.
USE OF INFORMATION I use any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in my network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of my users. I use tracking information to determine which areas of my sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. I do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps me continue to build a better service for you. I track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests my users. But I do not track which terms a particular user enters. I will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of my users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION I use the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs better understand my audience's demographics. I will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY I operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. My security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY I give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include: * Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users.
YOUR CONSENT By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by James Thomas. If I decide to change my 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. |
