Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information. The following outlines our privacy policy.
Like most website operators, WP Buffs 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. WP Buffs’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WP Buffs’ visitors use its website. From time to time, WP Buffs may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
WP Buffs also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WP Buffs blogs/sites. WP Buffs 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 commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Certain visitors to WP Buffs’ websites choose to interact with WP Buffs in ways that require WP Buffs to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WP Buffs gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at wpbuffs.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with WP Buffs are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, WP Buffs collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WP Buffs. WP Buffs 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.
WP Buffs may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. WP Buffs may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, WP Buffs does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
WP Buffs 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 in order to process it on WP Buffs’ behalf or to provide services available at WP Buffs’ websites, and (ii) 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 WP Buffs’ websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. WP Buffs 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, WP Buffs discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when WP Buffs believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of WP Buffs, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an WP Buffs website and have supplied your email address, WP Buffs 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 WP Buffs and our products. If you send us a request (for example via 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. WP Buffs takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

WP Buffs visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using WP Buffs’ websites, with the drawback that certain features of WP Buffs’ websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
If WP Buffs, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that WP Buffs goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of WP Buffs may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

WP Buffs encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a wpbuffs.com account, you might also receive an alert informing you of these changes.
