The following principles apply to the personally identifying information we ask for
and that you provide. "Personally identifying information" is information that
individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address or email address.
Data Collection
WServerNews collects limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes available
whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address,
browser type, browser language, the date and time of your download and in some cases, one or
more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information to operate,
develop and improve our services.
Some of our services require you to register. WServerNews asks you for some personal information
in order to create an account (typically your email address) and we will use that information
to provide the service. For certain services, such as our OnLineShop, we may request credit
card or other payment information which we do not keep or store on our servers.
When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the types of
information we collect and how we use it. We hope this will help you make an informed
decision about sharing your personal information with us.
Cookies
To enhance your experience with our site, some of our web pages use "cookies." Cookies
are small text files we place in your computer's browser to store your preferences. Cookies,
by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information
unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, by registering at our site.
However, once you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information, this
information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. We use cookies to understand site
usage and to improve the content and offerings on our site. For example, we may use cookies
to personalize your experience at our web pages (e.g. to recognize you by name when you return
to our site). We also may use cookies to offer you products, programs, or services.
Information Sharing
We do not rent or sell your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals,
unless we have your consent. We may share such information in any of the following limited circumstances:
- We have your consent.
- We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing personally identifying information on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
- We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of WServerNews, its users or the public.
In the event of a transfer of ownership of WServerNews (including any publications), such as acquisition
by or merger with another company, we will provide notice before any personally identifying information
is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share aggregated information with others. Examples of this include the number of users who
downloaded a specific product or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement.
Information Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized
alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. We restrict access to your personally identifying
information to employees who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve
our services.
We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personally identifying information for many
of our services. You may send an e-mail or letter to the following e-mail or street address requesting
access to or correction of your personally identifiable information:

Links
Any links to external websites may be developed by people over whom WServerNews exercises no control. These
other sites may place their own cookies on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information.
WServerNews may present links in a format that enables us to understand whether they have been followed. We
use this information to understand and improve the quality of our products and website. For instance,
this data helps us determine how popular a product is and if there is anything we can do to improve on it.
