Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

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

Lettoblog also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Lettoblog.com blogs. Lettoblog only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Lettoblog’s websites choose to interact with Lettoblog in ways that require Lettoblog to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Lettoblog gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at Lettoblog.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Lettoblog – by purchasing access to the anti-splog comment spam prevention 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, Lettoblog collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Lettoblog.Lettoblog 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

Lettoblog may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Lettoblog may monitor the most popular blogs on the lettoblog.com site or use spam screened by the anti-splog service to help identify spam. Lettoblog may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Lettoblog does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Lettoblog 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 Lettoblog’s behalf or to provide services available at Lettoblog’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 Lettoblog’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Lettoblog 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, Lettoblog discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Lettoblog believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Lettoblog, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Lettoblog website and have supplied your email address, Lettoblog  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 Lettoblog 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. Lettoblog takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
