Your privacy is critically important to CannonSpeak.com and we have a few fundamental privacy principles:
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Cannonspeak.com. (“Cannonspeak”) operates a website using a third party hosting service. It is Cannonspeak's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Like most website operators, Cannonspeak 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. Cannonspeak's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Cannonspeak's visitors use its website. From time to time, Cannonspeak may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. For example, a company considering advertising may request a report with website statistics.
Cannonspeak also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Cannonspeak does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to Cannonspeak's website choose to interact with Cannonspeak in ways that require Cannonspeak to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Cannonspeak gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who desire to write a comment to register and provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Cannonspeak – by purchasing advertising service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Cannonspeak collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Cannonspeak. Cannonspeak 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.
Cannonspeak may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Cannonspeak may monitor useage statistics to identify the most popular pages on the Cannonspeak site or use statistics based on user's activities on the site to help identify trends on the site. Cannonspeak may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Cannonspeak does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Cannonspeak 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 Cannonspeak’s behalf, 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 Cannonspeak's website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Cannonspeak 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, Cannonspeak discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Cannonspeak believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Cannonspeak, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Cannonspeak website and have supplied your email address, Cannonspeak 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 Cannonspeak 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. If you send us a request (for example via a support 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. Cannonspeak takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Cannonspeak uses cookies to help Cannonspeak identify and track visitors, their usage of Cannonspeak's website, and their website access preferences. Cannonspeak's visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Cannonspeak's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Cannonspeak's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Cannonspeak may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Cannonspeak's sole discretion. Cannonspeak encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
