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

taraknol.com  also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on my  blogs. taraknol.com  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 the taraknol.com websites choose to interact with taraknol.com in ways that require taraknol.com  to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that  gathered depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, visitors who comment on a blog are asked to  provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive news  updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, such information  is only  collected insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with site.  . I do 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.

For instance, taraknol.com  may monitor the most popular pages  or use spam screened by a span screening  service to help identify spam. taraknol.com  may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, taraknol.com  does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

I will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.  I  will disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when I  believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of taraknol.com , third parties or the public at large. If you registered for a newsletter or updates  and have supplied your email address, I may occasionally send you an email to tell you about news, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on.  I expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.  taraknol.com takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
