It is NFCRumors’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

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

NFCRumors also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on NFCRumors blog posts and materials. NFCRumors 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 are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information. Certain visitors to NFCRumors’ website choose to interact with NFCRumors in ways that require NFCRumors to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that NFCRumors gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for the NFCRumors newsletter to provide an email address. In each case, NFCRumors collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with NFCRumors. Automattic 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. NFCRumors may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, NFCRumors may monitor the most popular posts on NFCRumors.com or screen for spam content in comments. NFCRumors may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, NFCRumors does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information. NFCRumors 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 NFCRumors’ behalf or to provide services available at NFCRumors’ 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 NFCRumors’ website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. NFCRumors 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, NFCRumors discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when NFCRumors believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of NFCRumors, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user or have signed up for the newsletter on the NFCRumors website and have supplied your email address, NFCRumors 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 NFCRumors 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. NFCRumors takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

NFCRumors visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using NFCRumors’ website, with the drawback that certain features of NFCRumors’ website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

business Transfers. If NFCRumors, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that NFCRumors goes out of business, enters bankruptcy, or simply shuts down, 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 acquiror of NFCRumors may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
