Whenever you visit my website some basic log data is collected. This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser version, pages of my website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.
Cookies are files with small amount of data that is commonly used an anonymous unique identifier. These are sent to your browser from the website that you visit and are stored on your computer's hard drive. My website uses these “cookies” to identify authenticated users of this website, and to assist with providing services to them. If you're just visiting, the cookie is just an anonymous unique identifier.
My web-hosting service (HostGator) obviously can see anything on this server, including log files. Here's what they say about their privacy policy: link. If you can't trust them, then don't trust me either since they can see what I can see.
I don't use third party services such as Content Delivery Networks (CDN). For the most part, if you use javascript blocking addons for your browser, you should only need to whitelist the merigold.tech domain to use the services on my website. However, if you are one of my database users where mapping is requested, I will use Google maps to display your results. For Google mapping to function, you will also need to whitelist Google Map severs in any javascript blocking browser addons you might use. Be aware that Google may log information from your mapping requests.
Otherwise, I will never share your data with third parties unless compelled by a lawful Court Order with jurisdiction. Under no circumstances will I sell access to your data to anyone. I would rather sell a kidney!
If you are one of my users, I will do my best to protect your Personally Identifiable Information. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.
I hate advertising. I do not accept payment for any advertising on this website. Commercial advertising networks are insecure and dangerous. I strongly recommend the use of adblocking and javascript blocking add-ons for your browser. Whitelist only sites that you trust.
I do link to, and enthusiastically endorse, a video game that contains the character that this website domain is named after. I do not get paid anything for this. I am not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the developers of the video game (CD Projekt) in any way. I do it as a public service. The Witcher 3 truly is the greatest game ever made. Buy it. Play it. Thank me later. You're welcome.
My website may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by me. Therefore, I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. I have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, I advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately, after they are posted on this page.
