Your privacy is very important to us. At The Neural Blog (hereafter written as “TNB“), we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
- 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 ongoing operation of our website.
TNB operates the theneuralblog.com website. It is TNB’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, TNB collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring website, and the date and time of each visitor request. TNB’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TNB’s visitors use its website. From time to time, TNB may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
TNB also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on TNB’s blog posts. TNB 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 and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to TNB choose to interact with TNB in ways that require TNB to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that TNB 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. Those who wish to receive TNB’s updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, TNB collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with TNB. TNB 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
TNB may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its website. TNB may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, TNB does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
TNB discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on TNB’s behalf or to provide services available at TNB, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using TNB, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. TNB will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, TNB discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when TNB believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TNB, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of TNB and have supplied your email address, TNB 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 TNB. If you send us a request (via our contact form), 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. TNB 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. TNB uses cookies to help TNB identify and track visitors, their usage of TNB website, and their website access preferences. TNB visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using TNB, with the drawback that certain features of TNB may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
In the event of a business transfer or bankruptcy, user information may be transferred to a third party. You acknowledge and agree that any acquirer of TNB may continue to use your personal information as outlined in this policy.
Ads
Ads appearing on TNB may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by TNB and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Comments
Comments and other content submitted to Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.
