Privacy Policy

This page describes “It’s the End of the World as We Know It”’s privacy policy.

Over the course of your use of this blog, we may collect personal information about you. The information may include your name, email address and IP address.

We will only share this information with third parties in the following circumstances:

1. We are legally compelled to.

2. You attempt to circumvent this site’s security or abuse its intended use, and we need to share your private information in order to stop you from doing so.

In particular, we will not sell your private information to third parties and we will not share your email address with third parties. We may contact you via the email address you provide to us, but only if you have requested to be notified via email (for instance, when new articles are available).

We may store a small amount of information in your web browser using browser “cookies” so that the software (Wordpress) which drives our web site can tell who is using it in order to provide a better browsing experience to the user.

We may use the information we gather from you to compile aggregate statistics which we do share with third parties - for instance, we may share with third parties the fact that a certain percentage of our readers have AOL email addresses, or are from Russia - but we will not share any personally identifiable information with the third parties.

We may utilize third party software (for instance, Google Analytics) to help us analyze usage patterns so that we may improve our blog. We cannot control what information the third party software collects or how it uses it.

We may utilize advertising (for instance, Google Adsense) or affiliate programs (for instance, Amazon Associates) in order to monetize this blog. We cannot control what information these services collect, or how they use it.
