Privacy Policy
This privacy policy page explains how Symmetric Information LLC., and its affiliates (“Symmetric Information”, “SI”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) collect, use, disclose and process personal information of site visitors and customers.
Symmetric Information operates several websites including Symmetric-Information.com. It is Symmetric Information’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Symmetric Information 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. Our purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use our website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our website.
Symmetric Information also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. We only disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Symmetric Information’s websites choose to interact with Symmetric Information in ways that require Symmetric Information to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Symmetric Information gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask customer who wish to log in to our website to provide a username and email address. For those who wish to receive Symmetric Information updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Symmetric Information collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Symmetric Information. Symmetric Information 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
Symmetric Information may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Symmetric Information may monitor the most popular pages on the symmetric-information.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Symmetric Information may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Symmetric Information does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Symmetric Information 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 Symmetric Information’s behalf or to provide services available at Symmetric Information’s 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 Symmetric Information’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Symmetric Information does 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, Symmetric Information discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Symmetric Information believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Symmetric Information, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Symmetric Information website and have supplied your email address, Symmetric Information 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 Symmetric Information and our products. 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. Symmetric Information takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
