Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us.
At NotaBê we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- 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 public 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.
We collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, aggregate information
on what pages consumers access or visit, and information volunteered by the consumer
(such as survey information and/or site registrations).
The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web pages and the quality of our
service, and is not shared with or sold to other organizations for commercial purposes, except to
provide products or services you’ve requested, when we have your permission, or under the following
circumstances:
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
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 Fireho.com somewhere on your site. We 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. Fireho Inc. (“Fireho”) operates several websites
including Fireho.com, notabe.com and subdomains. It is Fireho’s policy to
respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while
operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Fireho 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. Fireho’s purpose in
collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand
how Fireho’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Fireho may
release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate,
e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Fireho also collects potentially personally-identifying information
like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users
interacting with Fireho’s websites. Fireho only discloses logged in user
IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses
personally-identifying information as described below.
Certain visitors to Fireho’s websites choose to interact with Fireho in
ways that require Fireho to gather personally-identifying information.
The amount and type of information that Fireho gathers depends on the
nature of the interaction.
For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at NotaBe.com
to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions
with Fireho – 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, Fireho collects such information
only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction
with Fireho.
Fireho 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
Fireho may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its
websites. For instance, Fireho may monitor the most popular blogs on
the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to
help identify spam. Fireho may display this information publicly or
provide it to others. However, Fireho does not disclose
personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Fireho 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 Fireho’s behalf or to provide services available at Fireho’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
Fireho’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Fireho 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,
Fireho discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in
response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Fireho believes in good
faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Fireho,
third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Fireho website and have
supplied your email address, Fireho may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new
projs, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Fireho 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. Fireho takes all
measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or
destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the
visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Fireho uses cookies to help
Fireho identify and track visitors, their usage of Fireho website, and their website
access preferences.
Fireho visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers
to refuse cookies before using Fireho’s websites, with the drawback that certain projs of
Fireho’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If Fireho, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that
Fireho goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets
that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur,
and that any acquirer of Fireho may continue to use your personal information as set forth in
this policy.
Ads
Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners,
who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each
time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others
who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things,
deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.
This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Fireho and does not cover the use
of cookies by any advertisers.
Invoices
Comments and other content submitted to our Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers
unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to
improve the service to avoid future false positives.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Fireho may change its Privacy Policy from time to
time, and in Fireho’s sole discretion. Fireho encourages visitors to frequently check this page for
any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a WordPress.com account, you should also check your
blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in
this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
