PRIVACY POLICY for http://www.whatisbiomass.com
Last Updated: November 30, 2010
http://www.whatisbiomass.com strives to offer its visitors the many
advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We
may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number)
subject to the terms of this privacy
policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized third party. Period.”
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting,
the activities in which you elect
to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register
for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features,
such as newsletters or when you make a
purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes
and contests, message boards and chat
rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites,
http://www.whatisbiomass.com also
collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools
that may be transparent to our
visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service
Provider or use cookie technology to
recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the
cookie may store your user name and
password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time
you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As
we adopt additional technology, we
may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can
choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept
cookies, but if you do you may be unable to
access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user
name and password, and we may not be
able to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized
content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your
information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you)
may be used in many ways. For
example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar
information obtained from other users
to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are
visited most or what features are most
attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners.
Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
http://www.whatisbiomass.com to
communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences;
our Terms of Service and privacy
policy; services and products offered by http://www.whatisbiomass.com. and
other topics we think you
might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
http://www.whatisbiomass.com may also be used
for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other
communications with you. Certain third
parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our
Web hosting service for example) may
access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by
law. In addition, from time to time
as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses.
In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.
We may also disclose your
information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we
are reasonably required to do so by
law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or
to law enforcement authorities
whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not
provide you with notice prior to disclosure
in such cases.
