Privacy Policy
Posted by Jeff on May 18, 2008Daddy’s Toolbox Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Daddy’s Toolbox (daddystoolbox.com)we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- 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. (For example: we don’t save comments that get submitted to our Akismet comment spam blocking service 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.) In regards to comments entered by you, we retain these comments and the rights to use such comments on the Daddy’s Toolbox website.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
It is Daddy’s Toolbox’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Daddy’s Toolbox 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. Daddy’s Toolbox’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Daddy’s Toolbox’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Daddy’s Toolbox may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Daddy’s Toolbox also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Daddy’s Toolbox 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 Daddy’s Toolbox’s website choose to interact with Daddy’s Toolbox in ways that require Daddy’s Toolbox to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Daddy’s Toolbox gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who register an account on daddystoolbox.com to provide a username and email address. Daddy’s Toolbox collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Daddy’s Toolbox . Daddy’s Toolbox 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
Daddy’s Toolbox may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Daddy’s Toolbox may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Daddy’s Toolbox does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Daddy’s Toolbox 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 Daddy’s Toolbox’s behalf or to provide services available at daddystoolbox.com, 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 the Daddy’s Toolbox website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Daddy’s Toolbox 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, Daddy’s Toolbox discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Daddy’s Toolbox believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Daddy’s Toolbox , third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Daddy’s Toolbox website and have supplied your email address, Daddy’s Toolbox 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 Daddy’s Toolbox 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. Daddy’s Toolbox takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
