Information Collected

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the elizabyte.net website. In order to register to download materials you are asked to provide certain information. The personal information collected to register is:

Name (you can use a nickname, of course)
Email address (must be valid or you won't be able to register)
IP Address

How Collected Information is Used

The information you provide about yourself when registering is used only to complete the registration. This information is not shared with outside parties.

Return email addresses are used to answer any email received. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

Non-identifying and aggregate information may be used to better design this website. For example, information may be collected which indicates that X number of individuals visited a certain area of this website at a certain freqency, or that Y number of visitors filled out a registration form on a specific date. Although at this time advertising space is not for sale, should this site ever do so, this general statistical information might be disclosed to a potential advertiser, but under no circumstances would anything that could be used to identify the individuals be disclosed or shared.

IP addresses of visitors are automatically logged by our web server. The administrators of this server and website maintain full access to this information for security and other technical purposes, but unless there is specific reasons to be concerned with visitors' IP addresses, this information is simply logged and eventually deleted from the records entirely.

IP addresses are also logged upon registration for the site. This information is not shared with outside parties and is logged as a security precaution only.

The Contact form records your IP address in the body of the message it sends. This information may or may not be retained by the recipient of your mail, but is probably deleted once your message has been answered or otherwise dealt with. This information is not shared with outside parties.

Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, the administators of this server and website have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information collected online.

On a Personal Note

My apologies for the boring formality of this, but I followed a standard template and didn't want to alter it too much. I do want to make one thing very clear in my own words: Your private information is PRIVATE. I log the information as a precaution (because I have had issues with unruly site visitors in the past, unfortunately), but that's all.
