Website Visitors
Our website address is: https://templatesbuddy.com.
Like most website operators, TemplatesBuddy® 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. TemplatesBuddy’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TemplatesBuddy® visitors use its website. From time to time, TemplatesBuddy® may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
TemplatesBuddy® also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on pjsandpaint.com blogs/sites. TemplatesBuddy® 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 commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to TemplatesBuddy®’s websites choose to interact with TemplatesBuddy® in ways that require TemplatesBuddy® to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that TemplatesBuddy® gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.
For example, we ask visitors who sign up at pjsandpaint.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with TemplatesBuddy® are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.
In each case, TemplatesBuddy® collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with TemplatesBuddy®. TemplatesBuddy® 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
TemplatesBuddy® may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. TemplatesBuddy® may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, TemplatesBuddy® does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
TemplatesBuddy® 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 TemplatesBuddy®’s behalf or to provide services available at TemplatesBuddy®’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 TemplatesBuddy®’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
TemplatesBuddy® 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, TemplatesBuddy® discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when TemplatesBuddy® believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TemplatesBuddy®, third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of an TemplatesBuddy® website and have supplied your email address, TemplatesBuddy® 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 TemplatesBuddy® and our products.
If you send us a request (for example via 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. TemplatesBuddy® takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
