Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. At unscriptured.com 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.
  • 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:

(Note, this Privacy Policy is modeled on one developed by Automattic, Inc. and released by them under a Creative Commons Sharealike license. If you would like to repurpose it for your own use, you are welcome, but would probably do well to start with their original (http://automattic.com/privacy/). They note that, if you want, they’d appreciate a link to WordPress.com somewhere on your site.)

It is unscriptured.com’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, unscriptured.com 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. unscriptured.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how unscriptured.com’s visitors use its website. From time to time, unscriptured.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Unscriptured.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Unscriptured.com does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to unscriptured.com’s websites choose to interact with unscriptured.com in ways that require unscriptured.com to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that unscriptured.com gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who who want their comments to appear immediately on the site to provide a username and email address. In each case, unscriptured.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with unscriptured.com. Unscriptured.com 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

Unscriptured.com may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Unscriptured.com may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, unscriptured.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Unscriptured.com 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 unscriptured.com’s behalf or to provide services available at unscriptured.com’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 unscriptured.com’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Unscriptured.com 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, unscriptured.com discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when unscriptured.com believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of unscriptured.com, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the unscriptured.com website and have supplied your email address, unscriptured.com 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 unscriptured.com and our products. We primarily use blog entries 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. Unscriptured.com 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. Unscriptured.com uses cookies to help unscriptured.com identify and track visitors, their usage of the unscriptured.com website, and their website access preferences. Unscriptured.com visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using unscriptured.com’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of unscriptured.com’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

As we use Google’s AdSense to provide advertising on our site in a vague hope of paying our hosting costs, we need to inform you that Google uses what they call a DoubleClick DART cookie to track your interests across multiple sites.  Unscriptured does not provide them directly with any information about you but they can connect your visits to us with your visits to other sites that use Google’s ad services.  The reason they state for doing this is so that they can provide ads that better match your interests.  If this bothers you, you can read more about it at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html, which also contains a means to opt out.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, unscriptured.com may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in unscriptured.com’s sole discretion. Unscriptured.com 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.
