Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is https://cultureinnovations.com.

Your privacy is very important to us. At Culture Innovations, 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 or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit our Web site, you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis, and Web site uses information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.

1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide

For example, you may need to provide the following information:

  • Name
  • Website URL information
  • Email address

In addition to providing the foregoing information, if you choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.

Website Visitors

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

Culture Innovations also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Culture Innovations 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 Culture Innovations’s websites choose to interact with Culture Innovations in ways that require Culture Innovations to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that Culture Innovations gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. For those who wish to receive Culture Innovations updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Culture Innovations collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Culture Innovations. Culture Innovations 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

Culture Innovations may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Culture Innovations may monitor the most popular pages on analytics.google.com or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Culture Innovations may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Culture Innovations does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Culture Innovations 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 Culture Innovations’s behalf or to provide services available at Culture Innovations’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 Culture Innovations’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Culture Innovations 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, Culture Innovations discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental requests, or when Culture Innovations believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Culture Innovations, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Culture Innovations website and have supplied your email address, Culture Innovations 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 Culture Innovations 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. Culture Innovations takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Culture Innovations and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
