Your privacy is very important to us. At Topop10 we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
- 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 our site.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, we 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 purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Topop10’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Topop10 may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Topop10 also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Topop10 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 Topop10’s websites choose to interact with us in ways that require Topop10 to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Topop10 gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Topop10 updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Topop10 collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Topop10. Topop10 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
Topop10 may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Topop10 may monitor the most popular pages on the Topop10.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Topop10 may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Topop10 does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Topop10 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 Topop10’s behalf or to provide services available at Topop10’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 Topop10’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Topop10 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, Topop10 discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Topop10 believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Topop10, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Topop10 website and have supplied your email address, Topop10 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 Topop10 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. Topop10 takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
