Privacy Policy

The Brew Blog respects and is committed to protecting your privacy. That is why I adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. I promise that I will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, newsletters, and discussion lists owned and operated by The Brew Blog. The following discloses my Privacy Policy...

Information I collect and how I collect it

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's IP (Internet Protocol) address. When a visitor requests a page from the The Brew Blog Website, my Web server automatically recognizes that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed my site. I use this information to examine my traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of the The Brew Blog Website, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. I do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. This site may log the following information for each page access:

user name
browser type & version
operating system type & version
IP address & domain name
date & time
page viewed
referrer [the link which was clicked to bring you to this site]

This information is not and never will be divulged to a third party.

Cookies

From time to time, the The Brew Blog Website may send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off of your computer hard disk or read cookie files created by other Websites. Cookies do not damage your system. I use cookies to identify which areas of the The Brew Blog Website you have visited or customized, and to save your password, so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at my site and other Websites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

Information I collect when you register

My site's registration form requires users to provide contact information (i.e. email address). Contact information from the registration form is used to validate the user's account. The information you provide in your profile, other than your user name, first and last names, and email address are all voluntary. The The Brew Blog Website offers access to services that require registration. I may use your registration contact information to send notification to you of The Brew Blog's services by email. I maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that I do not sell, rent, or otherwise give your email address to a third-party, without your consent or as permitted by this Privacy Policy. In addition, I take every measure possible to protect your contact information from Spam-bots, spiders, crawlers, or other automated techniques to harvest email addresses from Websites.

Other information that I request

I also request, but is optional for you to provide as stated earlier, your own Website if you have one, the city or town you live in, any interests you would like to share, a signature that will be applied to all posts, a short biography about yourself, and also a picture.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through email, discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.

External Links

This site contains links to other sites. The Brew Blog is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites. The Brew Blog does not share any of the individual personal information you provide with the third parties to which the The Brew Blog Website links, except as stated elsewhere within this Privacy Policy, although The Brew Blog may share general, aggregate data with such third parties (such as how many people use my site). Please check with those Websites to determine their privacy policy.

Your Consent To This Agreement

By using the The Brew Blog Website, you consent to the collection and use of information by The Brew Blog as specified above. If I decide to change my privacy policy, I will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information I collect, how I use it, and under what circumstances I disclose it. I will also notify you by email that this page has been changed.

Limitation of Liability

The Brew Blog is not liable for any damages caused by any of the site content, whether provided by The Brew Blog or not.
