Privacy Policy
SOULS of Society (SOULS”) operates the website soulsofsociety.com. It is SOULS’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, SOULS 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. SOULS’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how SOULS’s visitors use its website. From time to time, SOULS may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
SOULS also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. SOULS 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 SOULS’s websites choose to interact with SOULS in ways that require SOULS to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that SOULS gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, if you subscribe to the SOULS newsletter, you’ll have to provide an email address. Those who engage in transactions with SOULS – by donating, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, SOULS collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with SOULS. SOULS 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
SOULS may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. SOULS may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, SOULS does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
SOULS 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 SOULS’s behalf or to provide services available at SOULS’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 SOULS’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. SOULS 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, SOULS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when SOULS believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of SOULS, third parties or the public at large. SOULS 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. SOULS uses cookies to help SOULS identify and track visitors, their usage of SOULS website, and their website access preferences. SOULS visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using SOULS’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of SOULS’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If SOULS, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that SOULS 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 SOULS 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 SOULS and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, SOULS may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in SOULS’s sole discretion. SOULS 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.
