PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
We collect various information when you visit our website, with each contact providing us with different information. This may include your name, address, phone number, email address and payment details.

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
When visiting, the IP address used to access the site will be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information is purely used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement and gather broad demographic information for internal use. Most importantly, any recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES
We have included links on this site for your use and reference. We are not responsible for the privacy policies on these websites. You should be aware that the privacy policies of these sites may differ from our own.

EU COOKIE REQUIREMENT DISCLOSURE
Bad Behavior is WordPress security plugin which does set a single session cookie named “bb2_screener_”. This cookie, which expires at the end of the user’s browser session, records the user’s IP address and time of their most recent visit to your site. The cookie is sent directly from your site, and not by a third party.

Bad Behavior uses this cookie to determine whether a request is a spammer who is rotating through different IP addresses. It is therefore used to maintain the security of your web site.

This cookie is solely used for the security of your web site and is not used for marketing purposes. For the purpose of site security, you may choose to share logs of user requests containing this cookie with a third party (me). If you share these records with me, I use them for the purpose of improving Bad Behavior’s detection of spam, and for no other purpose, I maintain them in encrypted storage, and I delete the records within 90 days.

Currently Bad Behavior has no means to determine whether your users have given consent to receive cookies. Since it is used solely to maintain the security of your site from malicious activity, you may be able to argue that it is exempt from the consent requirement, but since this requirement is new and untested in the courts, it’s not clear whether this will work. It’s also unclear at this time how to integrate such a requirement into Bad Behavior and all of the various possible platforms on which it can run.

We reserve the right to make amendments to this Privacy Policy at any time. If you feel you need any additional information in order to comply with these bizarre new requirements, just contact me and I’ll get you the information you need.
