Website Visitors
Like other websites, Company collects non-personifying information that are made available naturally through web browsing. This includes data like the type of browser used, preferred language, site of referral, and the length and date of a website visit. You should not be concerned that this information is being collected.

Periodically, an aggregation of this non-personifying data may be published, but it will not contain any information that compromises the identities of the individuals that comprise it.

This is used for tracking comments on the blog/website for new and old users. Please refer to the Comment Policy for more on how this may affect you. Company only discloses this information under similar circumstances as non-personifying data. The only difference is that IP addresses and emails of users are able to be viewed by backend users with administrative privileges only.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.).
