Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

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

BusyKeys also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blog. BusyKeys 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 BusyKeys’s websites choose to interact with BusyKeys in ways that require BusyKeys to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that BusyKeys gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, BusyKeys collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with BusyKeys. BusyKeys 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.

Aggregated Statistics

BusyKeys may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. However, BusyKeys does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

BusyKeys 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 BusyKeys’s behalf or to provide services available at BusyKeys’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. BusyKeys 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, BusyKeys discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when BusyKeys believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of BusyKeys, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an BusyKeys website and have supplied your email address, BusyKeys 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 BusyKeys and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. BusyKeys takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
