Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At TechPP, 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.

It is TechPP’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, TechPP 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. TechPP’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TechPP’s visitors use its website. From time to time, TechPP may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

TechPP also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. TechPP 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 TechPP’s websites choose to interact with TechPP in ways that require TechPP to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that TechPP gathers depend 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 TechPP updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, TechPP collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with TechPP. TechPP 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

TechPP may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, TechPP may monitor the most popular pages on the TechPP.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. TechPP may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, TechPP does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

TechPP 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 TechPP’s behalf or to provide services available at TechPP’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 TechPP’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. TechPP 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, TechPP discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental requests, or when TechPP believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TechPP, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of TechPP.com and have supplied your email address, TechPP 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 TechPP 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. TechPP 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. TechPP uses cookies to help TechPP identify and track visitors, their usage of the TechPP website, and their website access preferences. TechPP visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using TechPP’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of TechPP’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If TechPP or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that TechPP goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that are transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of TechPP 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 TechPP and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to 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, TechPP may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in TechPP’s sole discretion. TechPP encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

This policy is effective as of 1 September 2020.
