We value your privacy greatly. We follow a few fundamental principles at AZ How (azeehow.com):
- We never ask for personal information unless we absolutely need it. (We despise services that request information like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- Except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights, we do not share your personal information with anyone.
- We do not store personal information on our servers unless it is necessary for the continued operation of our website.
Website Visitors
AZ How, like most website operators, collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically provide, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose of collecting non-personally identifying information by AZ How is to better understand how AZ How’s visitors use its website. AZ How may from time to time release aggregated non-personally-identifying information, such as by publishing a report on website usage trends.
For logged in users and users leaving comments on our blogs, AZ How also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. AZ How only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same conditions as it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below, with the exception 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 website visitors choose to interact with AZ How in ways that require us to collect personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information gathered by AZ How is determined by the nature of the interaction. For example, we require visitors to our blog to provide a username and email address. We collect the email addresses of those who wish to receive AZ How updates via email. In each case, we collect such information only to the extent necessary or appropriate to the visitor’s interaction with AZ How. Other than as described below, AZ How does not disclose personally-identifying information. Visitors can also refuse to provide personally identifiable information, with the caveat that doing so may prevent them from participating in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
AZ How may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, AZ How may monitor the most popular pages on the azeehow.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. AZ How may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, AZ How does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
AZ How discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that I require that information in order to process it on AZ How’s behalf or to provide services available on AZ How’s websites, and (ii) 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 AZ How’s websites, you consent to such information being transferred to them. AZ How will not rent or sell personally-identifying or potentially personally-identifying information to anyone. Except as described above, AZ How discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when AZ How believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of AZ How, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an AZ How website and have provided your email address, AZ How may send you an email from time to time to inform you of new features, solicit feedback, or simply keep you up to date on what’s going on with AZ How and our products. We intend to keep this type of email to a minimum because we primarily communicate this type of information through our various product blogs. If you send us a request (for example, via a support email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request, or to assist other users. AZ How takes all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized access to, use of, alteration of, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of data that a website stores on a visitor’s computer and that the visitor’s browser sends to the website every time the visitor returns. AZ How employs cookies to assist it in identifying and tracking visitors, their use of the AZ How website, and their website access preferences. Visitors who do not want cookies placed on their computers should configure their browsers to refuse cookies before using AZ How’s websites, with the caveat that certain features of AZ How’s websites may not function properly without cookies.
Business Transfers
If AZ How or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or if AZ How goes out of business or declares bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets transferred or acquired by a third party. You agree that such transfers may take place and that any acquirer of AZ How may continue to use your personal information in accordance with this policy.
Ads
Advertisements displayed on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies enable the ad server to recognize your computer each time it sends you an online advertisement, allowing them to collect information about you or others who use your computer. This information enables ad networks to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you, among other things. This Privacy Policy only applies to AZ How’s use of cookies and does not apply to any advertisers’ use of cookies.
Comments
Comments and other content submitted to the Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were flagged as false positives, in which case we keep them long enough to use them to improve the service and avoid future false positives.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, AZ How reserves the right to change its Privacy Policy at any time and in its sole discretion. AZ How encourages visitors to check this page frequently for changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site following any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
