Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Dashelitos we have a few fundamental principles:

  • 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 one of our services.
  • In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

It is Dashelitos’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Dashelitos 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. Dashelitos’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Dashelitos’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Dashelitos may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Dashelitos also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. Dashelitos 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 and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Dashelitos’s websites choose to interact with Dashelitos in ways that require Dashelitos to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Dashelitos gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with Dashelitos are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Dashelitos collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Dashelitos. Dashelitos 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

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Dashelitos 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 Dashelitos’s behalf or to provide services available at Dashelitos.com. Dashelitos 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. Dashelitos uses cookies to help Dashelitos identify and track visitors, their usage of Dashelitos website, and their website access preferences. Dashelitos visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Dashelitos’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Dashelitos’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Dashelitos, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Dashelitos goes out of business or enters 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 Dashelitos may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites 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 Dashelitos and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to our Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers 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.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Dashelitos may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Dashelitos’s sole discretion. Dashelitos encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a WordPress.com account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
