Improved Search Engine Ranking

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Improved Search Engine Ranking we have a few fundamental principles:

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

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

Improved Search Engine Ranking also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Improved Search Engine Ranking 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 Improved Search Engine Ranking website choose to interact with Improved Search Engine Ranking in ways that require Improved Search Engine Ranking to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Improved Search Engine Ranking gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at wordpress.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Improved Search Engine Ranking – by purchasing access to the Akismet comment spam prevention service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Improved Search Engine Ranking collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Improved Search Engine Ranking. Improved Search Engine Ranking 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
Improved Search Engine Ranking may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Improved Search Engine Ranking may monitor the most popular blogs on the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Improved Search Engine Ranking may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Improved Search Engine Ranking does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Improved Search Engine Ranking 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 Improved Search Engine Ranking’s behalf or to provide services available at Improved Search Engine Ranking’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 Improved Search Engine Ranking’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Improved Search Engine Ranking 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, Improved Search Engine Ranking discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Improved Search Engine Ranking believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Improved Search Engine Ranking, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Improved Search Engine Ranking website and have supplied your email address, Improved Search Engine Ranking 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 Improved Search Engine Ranking 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. Improved Search Engine Ranking 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. Improved Search Engine Ranking uses cookies to help Improved Search Engine Ranking identify and track visitors, their usage of Improved Search Engine Ranking website, and their website access preferences. Improved Search Engine Ranking visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Improved Search Engine Ranking’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Improved Search Engine Ranking’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

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 Improved Search Engine Ranking and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

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, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Improved Search Engine Ranking may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Improved Search Engine Ranking’s sole discretion. Improved Search Engine Ranking 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.
