Privacy Notice
I value privacy as much as the next person. Therefore, I wish to make it clear that I won’t mess with you, sell your identity or soul to a mailing list, or anything like that. This site collects the following information from all visitors:
- Headers sent by your browser (such as the user-agent identification string and the URL of the page you linked from to get here)
- The page(s) on elehack.net you visit
These are only used to monitor site performance and to obtain information on how and where the site is being used. They are not disclosed to third parties. If you want to browse more anonymously, you can change your User-Agent string (the User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox does this) and use an anonymizing proxy system such as Tor.
We do not record IP addresses associated with page views. If we need to turn on IP address tracking for a short period to deal with problems such as network abuse, we will only use the collected IP addresses for dealing with the problem at hand and will purge them within one week. We may also store IP addresses for a short period as a part of security measures.
Further, we do not use cookies for session clickstream tracking. They are used only for stateful interactions, preferences, and user account sessions. Unauthenticated content is fully accessible to all users regardless of whether they have JavaScript, cookies, or other similar technologies enabled.
Additional information is collected if you post a comment. This information includes your IP address and browser user-agent. All other information is completely voluntary and will not be sold or otherwise disclosed except for its publication with the comment. We will not disclose our internal logs, including IP addresses and user agents, unless required to do so by law. As our server is hosted on Rackspace Cloud, all traffic and logs are theoretically accessible to Rackspace, but they have stringent privacy policies as well.
We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of sites we link to. Some links, particularly affiliate links, may contain referral codes; this should not tell the linked-to site any information other than that you visited them from us, information they could obtain in most cases by looking at request headers.
