It is Tuxpedia’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to www.tuxpedia.net (hereinafter, “us”, “we”, or “www.tuxpedia.net”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website. We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms of service posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms of service.

1. Website Visitors

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

Tuxpedia also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://www.tuxpedia.net blog posts. Tuxpedia only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

2. Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Tuxpedia’s websites choose to interact with Tuxpedia in ways that require Tuxpedia to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Tuxpedia gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who leave a comment at https://www.tuxpedia.net to provide a username and email address.

3. Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Tuxpedia and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

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. Tuxpedia takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
