MyWriting.Network websites (collectively “MyWriting.Network” in this document) refer to sites hosted on the MyWriting.Network, and other related domains and subdomains thereof.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, MyWriting.Network 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. MyWriting.Network’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how MyWriting.Network’s visitors use its website. From time to time, MyWriting.Network may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
MyWriting.Network also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. MyWriting.Network 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.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to MyWriting.Network choose to interact with MyWriting.Network in ways that require MyWriting.Network to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that MyWriting.Network gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, MyWriting.Network collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with MyWriting.Network. MyWriting.Network 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
MyWriting.Network may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, MyWriting.Network may reveal how many downloads a particular version got, or say which plugins are most popular. However, MyWriting.Network does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
MyWriting.Network 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 MyWriting.Network’s behalf or to provide services available at MyWriting.Network, 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 MyWriting.Network, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. MyWriting.Network 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, MyWriting.Network discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when MyWriting.Network believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of MyWriting.Network, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a MyWriting.Network website and have supplied your email address, MyWriting.Network 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 MyWriting.Network and our products. We primarily use our blog 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. MyWriting.Network takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
