This Privacy Policy applies to www.slantedlight.com (the “Website”) and all products and services made available thereon (“Products & Services”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website. We have adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

No Company services are directed to children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from persons under 16 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, you may not provide any of your personal information to the Company. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information related to a minor, we will immediately delete such information.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, We collect 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. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Our visitors use our website. From time to time, We may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by compiling a report on trends in the usage of its website.

We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on www.slantedlight.com blog posts. We only disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to the Website choose to interact with Us in ways that require Us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that We gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, if a user requests more information about the Company or our Products & Services, we will collect an email address, a name, and a phone number. This information will only be used to contact an interested user and will not be given to any third party. We will keep this information as long as it takes to conclude our business with you, or until you request that it is deleted, whichever is earlier.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Advertisements & Analytics
