What do we collect?

First, you’re on the internet and as such should have no expectation of privacy unless you are a multinational company or government. Cynical? Maybe. But more often than not, true. Having said this, what do we collect? We collect information you supply us during normal business communications. Data such as company names, peoples names, positions, phone numbers, postal addresses, email address, URL's and the like which are generally public knowledge are collected. We also track activity such as how you got to our site, where you go on it, and how long you stick around. And you do stick around, right? Where else can you get compelling content like this?

We also collect information about the hardware and software you are using, such as operating system, browser version, resolution and color depth, and connection speed.

Why do we do this?

The main reason is to asses the general capabilities of our visitors hardware. After all, there is no sense in us dedicating time and resources to developing content which only a negligible percentage of our visitors have the ability use.

Back in the day ten years ago when everyone ran Windows and Internet Explorer on a desktop with a fifteen inch monitor set to thirty-two bit color depth at a resolution of 1024 x 768 this practice was not such as big deal.

But with the advent of mobile computing and multiple operating systems, browsers, and hardware configurations fighting for dominance it's vital hhhhhhghgh (Sorry, bug landed on the keyboard. It's dead now.) for us to have as clear a definition as possible of our visitors limitations.

Our promise to you

We will not share your information with spammers, unrelated vendors, or anyone outside our direct employ unless you specifically direct us otherwise.

Any data collected can not pinpoint individual activities, but rather is collected en mass to provide a snap shop of visitors. We have better things to do than peek under your IP address.
