Introduction
The site editor takes your right to privacy seriously, and wants you to
feel comfortable using this web site. This privacy policy deals with
personally-identifiable information (referred to as "data" below) that
may be collected by this site. This policy does not apply to other
entities that are not owned or controlled by the site editor, nor does
it apply to persons that are not employees or agents of the site editor,
or that are not under the site editor's control. Please take time to
read this site's Terms of use.
1. Collection of data
Registration for an account on this site requires only a valid e-mail
address and a user name that has not been chosen already. You are not
required to provide any other information if you do not want to. Please
be aware that the user name you choose, the e-mail address you provide
and any other information you enter may render you personally
identifiable, and may possibly be displayed on this web site
intentionally (depending on choices you make during the registration
process, or depending on the way in which the site is configured) or
unintentionally (subsequent to a successful act of intrusion by a third
party). As on many web sites, the site editor may also automatically
receive general information that is contained in server log files, such
as your IP address, and cookie information. Information about how
advertising may be served on this site (if it is indeed the site
editor's policy to display advertising) is set forth below.
2. Use of data
Data may be used to customize and improve your user experience on this
site. Efforts will be made to prevent your data being made available to
third parties unless (i) provided for otherwise in this Privacy Policy;
(ii) your consent is obtained, such as when you choose to opt-in or
opt-out for the sharing of data; (iii) a service provided on our site
requires interaction with a third party, or is provided by a third
party, such as an application service provider; (iv) pursuant to legal
action or law enforcement; (v) it is found that your use of this site
violates the site editor's policy, terms of service, or other usage
guidelines, or if it is deemed reasonably necessary by the site editor
to protect the site editor's legal rights and/or property; or (vi) this
site is purchased by a third party, in which case that third party will
be able to use the data in the same manner as set forth in this policy.

other data that you may have provided, and that is not stored within
your user account, such as articles published, may continue to remain on
the site at the site editor's discretion, even after your user account
is deleted. Please see the site's Terms of use for more information.

7. NO GUARANTEES
While this privacy policy states standards for maintenance of data, and
while efforts will be made to meet the said standards, the site editor
is not in a position to guarantee compliance with these standards. There
may be factors beyond the site editor's control that may result in
disclosure of data. Consequently, the site editor offers no warranties
or representations as regards maintenance or non-disclosure of data.
