Information We Collect About Visitors to this site

We collect information about visitors to our site in two ways–we collect certain information that the visitors provide to the Site and we collect some information automatically.

Information a Visitor Provides to a Site

We’ll start with information that visitors provide directly to our site, which primarily happens when visitors type into a text field, like a comment field or a contact form.

Here are the most common ways in which a visitor directly provides information to our site:

•  Follower and Subscriber Information: When a visitor signs up to follow or subscribe to our site, we collect the sign-up information requested, including an email address.
• Site Comments: When a visitor leaves a comment on the site, we collect that comment, and other information that the visitor provides along with the comment, such as the name and email address.
• Survey Responses: When a visitor completes a poll, quiz, or other type of survey, we collect the visitor’s responses to those surveys, and other information that the survey owner requires for a poll/quiz/survey response, like an e-mail address.
• Other Information Entered on the Site: We may also collect other information that a visitor enters on the Site–such as a contact form submission, a search query, or Site registration.
  Information We Automatically Collect from the Site

We also automatically collect some information about visitors to our site, including the examples below:

• Technical Data from a Visitor’s Computer and Etcetera: We collect the information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available about visitors to our site, such as the IP address, browser type, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.
• Visitor Interactions: We collect information about a visitor’s interactions with the site, including the “likes” and “ratings” left by visitors to a Site using WordPress.com or Jetpack.
• Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of a visitor’s device from the IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, tally how many people visit our site from certain geographic regions.
• Akismet Commenter Information: We collect information about visitors who comment on Site. The information we collect typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address and the comment itself).
• Crowdsignal Response Information: We collect information about visitors who respond to a Crowdsignal survey. The information that we collect typically includes IP address, browser type, operating system, user agent, and the web page last visited.
• Jetpack Site Activity: We collect visitor activities related to the management of the Site, such as login attempts/actions and comment submission and management actions.

Information from Cookies and Other Technologies:

A cookie is a string of information that a Site stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the Site each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on Sites. We use cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help identify and track visitors and Site usage. For more information about our use of cookies and other technologies for tracking, including how visitors can control the use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

How We Use Visitor Information

We use information about our site visitors in order to provide our Services to our Users.
We may also use and share information that has been aggregated or reasonably de-identified, so that the information could not reasonably be used to identify any individual. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our services.

How We Share Visitor Information

We may share information collected about Site visitors in the limited circumstances spelled out below:

• Subsidiaries, Employees, and Independent Contractors: We may disclose Site visitor information to our subsidiaries, our employees, and individuals who are our independent contractors that need to know the information in order to help us provide our services to our Users and their Sites, or to process the information on our behalf. We require our subsidiaries, employees, and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Notice for information about visitors that we share with them.
• Legal Requests: We may disclose Site visitor information in response to a court order, or other governmental request.
• Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, Site visitor information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Notice would continue to apply to Site visitor information and the party receiving this information may continue to use this information, but only consistent with this Privacy Notice.
• Information Shared Publicly: Information that visitors choose to make public is disclosed publicly. That means, of course, that information like visitor comments and “likes” are all available to others, including information about the visitor that is displayed in connection with a comment or “like” (such as a visitor’s WordPress.com username and Gravatar). Public information may also be indexed by search engines or used by third parties.

How Long We Keep Visitor Information

If we are not legally required to keep it, we generally discard information about Site visitors when no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it on behalf of our users — those purposes which are described in the “How We Use Visitor Information” section above.
