It is Story Embers’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to https://storyembers.org (hereinafter, “us,” “we,” or “https://storyembers.org”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifying information you may provide us through the website. We have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain what information may be collected on our website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and Conditions posted on our website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our website. Depending on your activities when visiting our website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

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

Story Embers also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on https://storyembers.org blog posts. Story Embers only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Story Embers’ website choose to interact with Story Embers in ways that require Story Embers to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that Story Embers gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at https://storyembers.org to provide a username and email address.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Advertisements

Ads appearing on our website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of the most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Story Embers and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Links to External Sites

Our service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party sites, products, or services.

Protection of Certain Personally Identifying Information

Story Embers discloses potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (a) need to know that information in order to process it on Story Embers’ behalf or to provide services available at Story Embers’ website, and (b) 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 Story Embers’ website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Story Embers 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, Story Embers discloses potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when Story Embers believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Story Embers, third parties, or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of https://storyembers.org and have supplied your email address, Story Embers 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 Story Embers and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (e.g., 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. Story Embers takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information.
