Good Neighbor
Consider that you are visiting my home. Please treat this site as if you were a guest in my home. If you see something wrong, please let me know. I will also treat you as if you were sitting on my couch for a quick cup of coffee or a beer. Enjoy.
Your Information
This web site does not capture personally identifiable data without your explicit consent. I won’t clandestinely grab information about you or your computer beyond standard logging. You will have to click a button and probably type something into a field. Ok?
email
If you send email to this site, you a volunteering information about yourself and/or requesting that the site act on your behalf. This is true if you email an account that interfaces with an automated email system hosted on this site – a listserv. It is common to allow users to add and remove themselves and our email list servers also support these features.
Selling Data
I won’t knowingly give or sell your information without explicitly requesting your permission. I have no intention of ever doing this, but that cannot be guaranteed due to Internet crackers. Aggregate data is captured as part of running this web site and email systems, but that information will not be knowingly provided to 3rd parties or used other than normally required to maintain a server on the Internet. That doesn’t mean that this site is hack-proof. Every effort is made, but there are absolutely no guarantees.
Standard Logging
What does that mean? It is common practice is to capture the following information in log files or email or web servers concerning visitors. This site also captures this data; however, those logs are usually rotated weekly. Upto 4 weeks worth of data is retained for troubleshooting or cracker research. Backups may be retained indefinitely.
- Your Internet Address
- Your Email Address
- Your Current Browser
- The time of your visit
- A list of the web pages you visited
- The last page you came from
- other assorted non-personal information – load times, file sizes, etc.
Cookies
Some tools that I’ll use may use cookies, but you are welcome to turn them off in your browser. That is how I surf the web. Obviously, so things might break, but that’s life in the big city.
Hidden Images
As of 2/18/01 no hidden images used for tracking are used by this site. I have no intention of ever using these techniques. A Web beacon, also known as a Web bug, is a small, graphic image on a Web page, Web-based document or in an e-mail message that is designed to allow the site owner or a third party to monitor the address and other information of the site viewing the item. Web beacons are often invisible to the user because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the Web page, document or e-mail message. Web beacons are represented as HTML IMG tags in the Web page; users can click on "view profiles" of the Web page to see whether the page is using a Web beacon. Web beacons collect the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to, the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from and the time it was viewed. Web beacons can also be linked to personal information.
However, most 3rd party products do use cookies for personalization. If you come across a 3rd party product on this site, it would be reasonable to expect cookies to be set. As of 7/18/03, there are a number of 3rd party products running on this site. It is very clear when you are using those tools.
