Privacy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of 27th July 2010.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Sarawak .ME 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. Sarawak .ME's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Sarawak .ME's visitors use its website. From time to time, Sarawak .ME may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Sarawak .ME also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Sarawak .ME 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 Sarawak .ME's websites choose to interact with Sarawak .ME in ways that require Sarawak .ME to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Sarawak .ME gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address. In each case, Sarawak .ME collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Sarawak .ME. Sarawak .ME 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
Sarawak .ME may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Sarawak .ME may reveal how many downloads a particular version got, or say which plugins are most popular based on checks from api.Sarawak .ME, a web service used by Elgg installations to check for new versions of Elgg and plugins. However, Sarawak .ME does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
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. Sarawak .ME uses cookies to help Sarawak .ME identify and track visitors, their usage of Sarawak .ME website, and their website access preferences. Sarawak .ME visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Sarawak .ME's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Sarawak .ME's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Our Policy Towards Children
The Site is not directed to persons under 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personally identifiable information without their consent, he or she should contact us at info at elgg dot org. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal identifiable Information, we will delete such information from our files.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Sarawak .ME may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Sarawak .ME's sole discretion. Sarawak .ME encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
