Caruso Ventures Inc. (“CV”) operates a couple of websites including evergreensessions.com and picstant.com. It is CV’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Like most website operators, CV 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. CV’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how CV’s visitors use its website. From time to time, CV may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
CV also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. CV does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to CV’s websites choose to interact with CV in ways that require CV to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that CV gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at evergreensessions.com to provide an email address. CV collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with CV. CV 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.
CV may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, CV may monitor the most popular blogs on the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. CV may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, CV does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
CV discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on CV’s behalf or to provide services available at CV’s websites, 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 CV’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. CV 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, CV discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when CV believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of CV, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an CV website and have supplied your email address, CV 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 CV and our products. 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. CV takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. CV uses cookies to help CV identify and track visitors, their usage of CV website, and their website access preferences. CV visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using CV’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of CV’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.
Although most changes are likely to be minor, CV may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in CV’s sole discretion. CV encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a wordpress.com account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
