Website Visitors

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

AskSAint also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. AskSaint only discloses they 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 AskSaint websites choose to interact with AskSaint in ways that require AskSaint to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that AskSaint gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive AskSaint updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, AskSaint collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with AskSaint. AskSaint 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.

For instance, AskSaint may monitor the most popular pages on the AskSaint.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. AskSaint may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, AskSaint does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

AskSaint 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 to process it on AskSaint behalf or to provide services available at the AskSaint website, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others.

We primarily use our various product or service blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.

AskSaint takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
