Privacy Policy

 

Your privacy is very important to me. At The Duskweald there are a few fundamental principles that I, Juanita Clarke follow:

  • I don’t ask you for personal information unless I truly need it. (I can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • I don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop my creations, or protect our rights.
  • I don’t store personal information on my servers unless required for the on-going operation of my site.

It is The Duskweald’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information I may collect while operating my website.

Website Visitors

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

The Duskweald also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on my blog. The Duskweald 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 my website choose to interact with The Duskweald in ways that require The Duskweald to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Duskweald gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, I ask visitors who comment on the blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive The Duskweald updates via email, The Duskweald collects their emails. In each case, The Duskweald collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Duskweald. The Duskweald 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

The Duskweald may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to this website. For instance, The Duskweald may monitor the most popular pages on the site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. The Duskweald may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The Duskweald does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

The Duskweald discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its colleagues and contractors that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on The Duskweald’ behalf or to provide services available at this website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those colleagues and contractors may be located outside of your home country; by using this The Duskweald website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The Duskweald will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its colleagues and contractors, as described above, The Duskweald discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The Duskweald believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Duskweald, myself (Juanita Clarke), third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of this The Duskweald website and have supplied your email address, The Duskweald 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 The Duskweald and my products. I primarily use my blogs to communicate this type of information, so I expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send me a request (for example via a support email or via one of my feedback mechanisms), I reserve the right to publish it in order to help me clarify or respond to your request or to help me support other users. The Duskweald 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. The Duskweald uses cookies to help The Duskweald identify and track visitors, their usage of The Duskweald website, and their website access preferences. The Duskweald visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using this The Duskweald website, with the drawback that certain features of this website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If The Duskweald, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that I, Juanita Clarke enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of The Duskweald may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of this website 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 The Duskweald 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 my servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case I store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, The Duskweald may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in my sole discretion. I encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to The Duskweald’ Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
