Your privacy is critically important to us. At http://opaclearinghouse.org/ we have a few fundamental principles:

•     We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We too don’t like 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 one of our services.
•     In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals.

If you have questions about accessing or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.

It is http://opaclearinghouse.org/’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

 

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, http://opaclearinghouse.org/ 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. http://opaclearinghouse.org/’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how http://opaclearinghouse.org/’s visitors use its website. From time to time, http://opaclearinghouse.org/ may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

 

http://opaclearinghouse.org/ also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on http://opaclearinghouse.org/.org blogs. http://opaclearinghouse.org/ 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 http://opaclearinghouse.org/’s websites choose to interact with http://opaclearinghouse.org/ in ways that require http://opaclearinghouse.org/ to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that http://opaclearinghouse.org/ gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at http://opaclearinghouse.org/.org to provide a username and in some cases, an email address. Those who engage in transactions with http://opaclearinghouse.org/ – by upgrading to a Pro account, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, http://opaclearinghouse.org/ collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with http://opaclearinghouse.org/. http://opaclearinghouse.org/ 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

http://opaclearinghouse.org/ may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, http://opaclearinghouse.org/ may monitor the most popular blogs on the http://opaclearinghouse.org/ site or use spam screened by our filters to help identify spam. http://opaclearinghouse.org/ may display this information publicly or provide it to others.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

If you are a registered user of an http://opaclearinghouse.org/ website and have supplied your email address, http://opaclearinghouse.org/ 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 http://opaclearinghouse.org/ 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. http://opaclearinghouse.org/ takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
