Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. At Point Man Technology we have a few fundamental principles that we follow: We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.) We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights. We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Point Man Technology 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. Point Man Technology’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Point Man Technology’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Point Man Technology may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Point Man Technology also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Point Man Technology only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses 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.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Point Man Technology’s websites choose to interact with Point Man Technology in ways that require Point Man Technology to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Point Man Technology gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Point Man Technology updates via email, we collect their name and emails. In each case, Point Man Technology collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Point Man Technology. Point Man Technology 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
Point Man Technology may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Point Man Technology may monitor the most popular pages on this site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Point Man Technology may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Point Man Technology does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Point Man Technology 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 Point Man Technology’s behalf or to provide services available at Point Man Technology’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 Point Man Technology’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Point Man Technology 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, Point Man Technology discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Point Man Technology believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Point Man Technology, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Point Man Technology website and have supplied your email address, Point Man Technology 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 Point Man Technology 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. Point Man Technology takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
