Privacy Policy

www.aliteraryvoyager.com

Your privacy is very important to us. At A Literary Voyager, 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 ongoing operation of our site.

It is A Literary Voyager’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

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

A Literary Voyager also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. A Literary Voyager 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 A Literary Voyager’s websites choose to interact with A Literary Voyager in ways that require A Literary Voyager to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that A Literary Voyager 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. For those who wish to receive A Literary Voyager updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, A Literary Voyager collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with A Literary Voyager. A Literary Voyager does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below. 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

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

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

A Literary Voyager discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information to process it on A Literary Voyager’s behalf or to provide services available at A Literary Voyager’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using A Literary Voyager’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. A Literary Voyager will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, A Literary Voyager discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental requests, or when A Literary Voyager believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of A Literary Voyager, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the A Literary Voyager website and have supplied your email address, A Literary Voyager 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 A Literary Voyager and our content. 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. A Literary Voyager takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
