Website visitors
Like most website operators, Digital Émigré 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. Digital Émigré’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Digital Émigré’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Digital Émigré may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Digital Émigré also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Digital Émigré 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 Digital Émigré’s websites choose to interact with Digital Émigré in ways that require Digital Émigré to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Digital Émigré gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. We collect their emails of those who wish to receive Digital Émigré updates via email,.
In each case, Digital Émigré collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Digital Émigré. Digital Émigré 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
Digital Émigré may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Digital Émigré may monitor the most popular pages on the Digital Émigré site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Digital Émigré may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Digital Émigré does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of certain personally-identifying information
Digital Émigré 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 Digital Émigré’s behalf or to provide services available at Digital Émigré’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 Digital Émigré’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
Digital Émigré 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, Digital Émigré discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Digital Émigré believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Digital Émigré, third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of a Digital Émigré website and have supplied your email address, Digital Émigré 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 Digital Émigré 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. Digital Émigré takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
