Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At CODIFOREST we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.

CODIFOREST operates several websites including CODIFOREST.ORG. It is CODIFOREST’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, CODIFOREST 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. CODIFOREST’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how CODIFOREST’s visitors use its website.

CODIFOREST also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. CODIFOREST 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 CODIFOREST’s websites choose to interact with CODIFOREST in ways that require CODIFOREST to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that CODIFOREST gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive CODIFOREST updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, CODIFOREST collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with CODIFOREST. CODIFOREST 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

CODIFOREST may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, CODIFOREST may monitor the most popular pages on the CODIFOREST.ORG site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. CODIFOREST may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, CODIFOREST does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

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