Privacy Policy

Protection of Personal Information

Dearly beloved, it has been revealed unto me that anyone may view any part of this Web site without providing any personal information whatsoever. We verily collect no personally-identifiable information from any of our visitors, therefore there is nothing to protect. It makes life simple, glory be.

Because we don't collect any personally-identifiable information, we verily couldn't share it with anyone even if we wanted to. We cannot share that which we don't have. Can I get an amen?

 

Web Server Behavior and Data Collection

Like all Web servers, our server collects certain information such as your IP address in order to serve the pages that you request. Now brethren, let's be clear about this: There's nothing mysterious about an IP address. That's how computers find each other. Without your IP address, our server wouldn't know where to send the pages you request. It would verily be stumbling along in the darkness.

We can't tell who you are as an actual person from your IP address unless we get a court order or your ISP's cooperation; and we have no reason to do either unless you are treading the path to perdition by trying to hack our server or something along those lines, in which case I verily assure you that all bets are off. But all ye who are righteous, stop worrying. Amen, and again I say amen.

Our server also collects a great deal of statistical information such as what country you visited from, what browser you used, how much time you spent on a given page, and other sundry data. We use some of this information to make sure that the site works properly on different browsers and other such technical reasons; but most of it we ignore because it's boring and we verily don't care about it, anyway.

We use cookies for aggregated traffic analysis to help us understand whether anyone is actually visiting the site, which pages they like, and which pages they don't like. We also use cookies to save your theme preference; and we use a cookie to remember whether you consented to cookies.

 

Advertising

Behold, we provide advertising on this site, glory be. Our advertisers may place cookies on your browser to facilitate advertising and process your order if you buy something.

In addition, some advertisers may track your browsing and/or purchase activity in order to serve more relevant ads. You can learn more about this, as well as opt-out of most advertising-related data collection, by clicking here.

We have no access to the information collected by advertisers, and we have no idea what products any individual person buys from our advertisers. Behold, we do have access to information about which products visitors to the site in general buy, but not what any individual person buys. Can I get an amen?

Compliance with Legal Process

In the unlikely event that some government agency presented us with a subpoena or warrant, we would be bound to submit to authority by offering up our server logs and related information. Although we can't imagine why on earth any government agency would be interested in the server logs of a site about computer backup, our lawyer says we should mention it. And so it has been mentioned, glory be.

 

Third-Party Sites

If you click on a link or an ad, and behold, you get transported to another site, then you are bound by that site's privacy policy, which is likely to be different from ours. (For sure, it'll be longer and even more boring than ours is.)
