Like all commercial websites, squawkboxnoise.com needs to know who its audience is for advertising and administrative purposes. At the same time, we understand that our users value their privacy. This policy is designed to balance your right to be left alone with our
desire for certain basic data about your computer system. .
Log Files
squawkboxnoise.com will not collect personal information about you, such as your name, address, or telephone number. The information we collect will be limited to your general Internet settings or log file. Log files typically include your operating system, your ISP and IP address, the type of browser you are using, the resolution of your monitor, and the pages on our site that you clicked through while visiting.
Comments and E-mails
squawkboxnoise.com will not record your e-mail address unless (a)you register to post comments on our site, or (b) post a comment on our site (c) you send us e-mail.
If you register or post comments, you must provide us with a valid e-mail address. We will not share it with anyone (except under certain extraordinary circumstances described below), but we will cancel your registration and block you from re-registering with that address if you violate our terms of use.
If you send us e-mail, your e-mail address will be displayed at the top of your message. squawkboxnoise.com retains most of the messages it receives, so your address likely will remain on record in our e-mail archives.
Cookies
squawkboxnoise.com may use cookies to record your log file and, if you have registered to comment, to remember your squawkboxnoise.com login and password for you. We may also grant permission to our advertisers to use cookies in their ads. Cookies are small text files placed automatically on your hard drive by your web browser when you visit certain websites in order to make those sites easier to use. You can configure your browser to disable cookies and/or to alert you when new ones are being sent, but please note that some features of our site might not work properly if you do so.
Disclosure
squawkboxnoise.com generally will not disclose information we have collected from your log file except in the aggregate, as part of demographic analyses to help advertisers or other third parties better understand our audience (e.g., % of our users use Mozilla Firefox etc.).
We do, however, use Sitemeter, which discloses information about individual log files. In addition, we may disclose information about your individual log file or, if you have registered to comment, your e-mail address in the following two extraordinary circumstances: (a) if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so by law, or to
comply with a court order or judicial proceeding; or (b) if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to defend the legal rights and interests of squawkboxnoise.com, or its individual contributors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you send us an e-mail message, squawkboxnoise.com will assume that you consent to your message including your e-mail address – being reprinted in full on our website should we deem it worthy of publication. If you do not consent to your e-mail being made public, please say so in your message.
Threatening communications
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, squawkboxnoise.com reserves the right to collect, disclose, and publicize personal information about anyone who sends a threatening communication, in any format or by any medium, to squawkboxnoise.com, or any of its officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, affiliates, volunteers,
contributors or agents. squawkboxnoise.com will not honor requests for privacy attached to such communications.
Miscellaneous
This privacy policy applies to squawkboxnoise.com. It does not apply to our advertisers (including advertisers who use cookies in their ads on our site), online merchandisers, websites to which we link, or any other third party, none of which are owned or operated by squawkboxnoise.com, and about which we make no warranties or representations. For information about a third party’s privacy policy, please consult their individual website.
squawkboxnoise.com reserves the right to transfer or assign the data collected from our users in the event of a merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of
creditors, squawkboxnoise.com may not be able to control how our user data is disposed of.
