• I don’t ask you for personal information unless I truly need it. (I can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
• I don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop my products, or protect my rights.
• I don’t store personal information on my server unless required for the on-going operation of my site.

Website Visitors

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

I also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on my blog. I only disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that I use and disclose 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 (me again).

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to this website choose to interact with me in ways that require me to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that I gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, I ask visitors who comment on my blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive A Colouful Mind updates via email, I collect their emails. In each case, I collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with A Colourful Mind.

A Colourful Mind 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

I may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to this website. For instance, I may monitor the most popular pages on the list25.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. I may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, I do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

I disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to my employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on A Colourful Mind’s behalf or to provide services available at A Colourful Mind, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using A Colourful Mind, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

A Colourful Mind will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, A Colourful Mind discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when A Colourful Mind believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of A Colourful Mind, third parties or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of an A Colourful Mind website and have supplied your email address, A Colourful Mind 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 Colourful Mind and it’s products. If you send me a request (for example via a email or via one of my feedback mechanisms), I reserve the right to publish it in order to help myself clarify or respond to your request or to help myself support other users. A Colourful Mind takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Business Transfers

If A Colourful Mind, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that A Colourful Mind goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.
