Privacy Policy

 

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

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)

  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.

  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.

It is Honesty Pill Inc.’s (“Honesty Pill”) policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.


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

Honesty Pill also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Honesty Pill 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 Honesty Pill’s websites choose to interact with Honesty Pill in ways that require Honesty Pill to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Honesty Pill 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 Honesty Pill updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Honesty Pill collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Honesty Pill. Honesty Pill 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: Honesty Pill may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Honesty Pill may monitor the most popular pages on the honestypill.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Honesty Pill may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Honesty Pill does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information: Honesty Pill 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 Honesty Pill’s behalf or to provide services available at Honesty Pill’s websites, and (ii) that 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 Honesty Pill’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Honesty Pill 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, Honesty Pill discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Honesty Pill believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Honesty Pill, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Honesty Pill website and have supplied your email address, Honesty Pill 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 Honesty Pill 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. Honesty Pill 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. Honesty Pill uses cookies to help Honesty Pill identify and track visitors, their usage of Honesty Pill website, and their website access preferences. Honesty Pill visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Honesty Pill’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Honesty Pill’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Children’s Data: The Services are not intended to be used by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information about children. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the contact details set out below to request that it be deleted.

As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” (as those terms are defined in applicable law) personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Business Transfers: If Honesty Pill, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Honesty Pill goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Honesty Pill may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads: Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Honesty Pill and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

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, Honesty Pill may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Honesty Pill’s sole discretion. Honesty Pill 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.
