PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: November 26, 2007

Jon, the provider of Jon's Blog, recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by users of this blog, and this Privacy Statement discloses the privacy practices for it.

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

Jon's Blog may occasionally collect information from web site users, visitors, and those who post comments. Herein are described the types of information collected and how they may be used.

Interactive Features

Jon's Blog offers public interactive features such as discussion boards and Comments, and may offer publicly-accessible user profiles. Note that all personal information sent or posted via such features becomes public information for which Jon is not responsible.

Automatic Data Collection

In order to improve the user and visitor experience, Jon's Blog uses technology which automatically collects non-personal information relative to visitors' interests and preferences.

For example, Jon's Blog uses "cookies," a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies can benefit the user by requiring login only once, thereby saving time. If users reject cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of Jon's Blog or may need to repeatedly input identity, search, and preference data. Additionally, some sections of Jon's Blog may track visitors' preferences and choices through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs) and web beacons. Cookies, pixels and web beacons enable Jon to track and target user interests in order to enhance their use of Jon's Blog.

In addition, some of the web sites linked through URL's provided on Jon's Blog may utilize other tracking and information retrieval technologies differing from those described here. Because Jon has no access to nor control over these other web sites, users of and visitors to Jon's Blog are strongly encouraged to consult privacy policies on those web sites for further information.

Jon may allow advertisers to use third party ad servers to display ads on Jon's Blog. These third-party ad servers may set and recognize their cookies on your computer. They may collect standard information about your browser and system and use that data, along with your IP address, to manage ad frequency and serve ads in a format most compatible with your system.

For internal auditing purposes, Jon's Blog may record date, time, browser type, navigation history and IP address of all visitors to this web site. None of this information is personally identifiable, and Jon uses this information only in the aggregate for internal security audit logs, trend analysis, system administration, and to gather broad information about our user and visitor base.

WITH WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED

Other than personal information you may choose to publicly publish in articles and comments on Jon's Blog, absolutely nothing identifying or personally relating to blog users and visitors is ever routinely shared with anyone else. Jon may, however, share with others aggregate information which is not personally identifiable.

In the event of sale or other ownership transfer of Jon's Blog, personal information gathered here may be transferred to the new owner as an integral component of this blog's fundamental site design, operation, and function.

Additionally, Jon may disclose information when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or in special cases when disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Jon's rights or property. Users should also be aware that courts of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit personal information to be shared or transferred to third parties without permission.
