Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At our website we have a few fundamental principles:
We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals: (Note, we’ve decided to make this privacy policy available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means you’re more than welcome to steal it and repurpose it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you, and if you want we’d appreciate a link to Automattic.com somewhere on your site. We legally copied it from them, and they spent a lot of money and time on the below, and other people shouldn’t need to do the same.)
If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, our website 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 website’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our website’s visitors use its website. From time to time, our website may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
our website also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. our website 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 our website’s websites choose to interact with our website in ways that require our website to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that our website gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at WordPress.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with our website – by purchasing access to the Akismet 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, our website collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with our website. our website 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
our website may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, our website may monitor the most popular blogs on the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. our website may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, our website does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
our website 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 our website’s behalf or to provide services available at our website’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 our website’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. our website 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, our website discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when our website believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of our website, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of our website and have supplied your email address, our website 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 our website 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. our website takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
