openMindShare

Your privacy is critically important to us. At openMindShare we have a few fundamental principles:

• 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 one of our services. (For example: we don’t save comments that get submitted to our Akismet comment spam blocking service 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.)

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

openMindShare, LLC ("openMindShare") operates this website www.openMindShare.com. It is openMindShare's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

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

openMindShare also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. openMindShare does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to openMindShare's websites choose to interact with openMindShare in ways that require openMindShare to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that openMindShare gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a customer account to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with openMindShare may be asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, openMindShare collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with openMindShare. openMindShare 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 activities.

Aggregated Statistics

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

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

openMindShare 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 openMindShare's behalf or to provide services available at openMindShare'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 openMindShare's website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. openMindShare 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, openMindShare discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when openMindShare believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of openMindShare, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an openMindShare website and have supplied your email address, openMindShare 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 openMindShare and our products. 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. openMindShare takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
