Your privacy is very important to us. At Keencuisinier 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 on-going operation of our site.
Keencuisinier’s policy is to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
If you visit our website to browse, read, or download information:
- Your web browser automatically sends us (and we may retain) information such as the:
- Internet domain through which you access the Internet (e.g., yourServiceProvider.com if you use a commercial Internet service provider, or yourSchool.edu if you use an Internet account from your school);
- Internet Protocol address of the computer you are using;
- type of browser software and operating system you are using;
- date and time you access our site; and
- the Internet address of the site from which you linked directly to our site.
- We will use this information as aggregate data to help us maintain this site, e.g., to determine the number of visitors to different sections of our site, to ensure the site is working properly, and to help us make our site more accessible and useful.
- We will not use this information to identify individuals, except for site security or law enforcement purposes.
- We will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Keencuisinier 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. Keencuisinier’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Keencuisinier’s visitors use its website.
Keencuisinier also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Keencuisinier 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 Keencuisinier’s websites choose to interact with Keencuisinier in ways that require Keencuisinier to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Keencuisinier 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 Keencuisinier updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Keencuisinier collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Keencuisinier. Keencuisinier 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
Keencuisinier may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Keencuisinier may monitor the most popular pages on the Keencuisinier.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Keencuisinier may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Keencuisinier does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Keencuisinier 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 Keencuisinier’s behalf or to provide services available at Keencuisinier’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside and Keencuisinier 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, Keencuisinier discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Keencuisinier believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Keencuisinier, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Keencuisinier website and have supplied your email address, Keencuisinier 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 Keencuisinier 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. Keencuisinier takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
