Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to Tsunami Code. Tsunami Code has a few fundamental principles that it follows:

Tsunami Code will not ask you for personal information unless Tsunami Code truly needs it. Tsunami Code doesn’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights. Tsunami Code doesn’t store personal information on its server. It is Tsunami Code’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information it may collect while operating the Tsunami Code website.

Website Visitors

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

Tsunami Code also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Tsunami Code 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 Tsunami Code’s website choose to interact with Tsunami Code in ways that require Tsunami Code to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Tsunami Code gathers depends 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 updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Tsunami Code collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Tsunami Code. Tsunami Code 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

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

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Tsunami Code discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Tsunami Code believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Tsunami Code, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Tsunami Code website and have supplied your email address, Tsunami Code 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 Tsunami Code. 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. Tsunami Code 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. Tsunami Code uses cookies to help Tsunami Code identify and track visitors, their usage of Tsunami Code website, and their website access preferences. Tsunami Code visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Tsunami Code’s website, with the drawback that certain features of Tsunami Code’s website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to 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, Tsunami Code may change its Privacy Policy from time to time. Tsunami Code 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.
