Your privacy is critically important to us. At Coho Society, 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 ongoing operation of one of our services.

Below is our privacy policy, which incorporates these goals.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Coho Society 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. Coho Society’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Coho Society’s visitors use its website.

Coho Society also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Coho Society 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 and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Coho Society’s website choose to interact with Coho Society in ways that require Coho Society to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Coho Society gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, if you sign up for an account at this website you will be asked to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Coho Society are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Coho Society collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Coho Society. Coho Society 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

Coho Society may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. Coho Society may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Coho Society does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

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

Business Transfers

If Coho Society, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Coho Society 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 Coho Society may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to our Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives or missed spam, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives and missed spam.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Coho Society may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Coho Society’s sole discretion. Coho Society 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.
