Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Infome 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. Infome's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Infome's visitors use its website. From time to time, Infome may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Infome also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Infome 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 Infome's websites choose to interact with Infome in ways that require Infome to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Infome gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who join the Don't Tell community to provide a username and email address. Infome collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Infome. Infome 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
Infome may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Infome may monitor the items visitors look at or the items visitors rate highly. Automattic may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Infome does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Infome 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 Infome's behalf or to provide services available at Infome'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 Infome's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Infome 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, Infome discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Infome believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Infome, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Infome website and have supplied your email address, Infome 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 Infome and our products. 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. Infome takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
