JGarden Privacy Policy
|
|
Your privacy is a top concern for us. We aim to have the
strongest privacy policy of any garden Web site.
We want you to get the most out of JGarden. You are not required to
give any personal information to use this site, but if it becomes necessary for you
to share some personal information with us,
we want you to feel comfortable and trust that we make every effort to protect
your confidentiality. Please take a few minutes to read our complete policy so
you can understand how information is used and the specific measures we take to
protect your personal information.
Our Pledge to You
- We will do our very best to protect your personal
privacy.
- We will never sell your personal information to anyone.
- We will never individually identify you to third
parties. However, to defer the costs of publishing JGarden, we may in the future
distribute general information about our users to advertisers or business
associates. This information typically includes the total number of people who
visit our site, their country of origin, but we will never
individually identify you.
- We will clearly state why we are collecting personal
information and how it will be used.
- We will keep this policy, as well as our privacy
practices and systems, up to date.
- You have control over how your personal information is
used.
- You can inspect and edit your complete personal
profile.
Security
We have
installed security measures to protect the confidentiality of your
personal information.
- JGarden has developed a registration process so
that your personal profile is protected.
- We have a firewall and intrusion detection software to prevent
unauthorized access to our systems
IP Addresses
An Internet
Protocol(IP) address is a unique string of numbers assigned to your computer by your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). All computers must have an IP address in order
to connect to the Internet. This address may be the same every time you log on, but if you
use a conventional dial-up connection, a different number will usually be assigned each time
you connect. We store IP addresses in our
Web server logs to count the number of users who visit different pages. We do
not use this IP information in any other system.
Cookies
JGarden does not use cookies for anything at this time.
