Who We Are
This is an informational website, published at https://little.place. It is run without commercial gain and purely for educational and development purposes. We make no money from running this site at all.
Principles
Your personal data is very important to us. We have a few fundamental principles that we follow, specifically we never:
- Ask you for personal information unless we really need it.
- Share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our website, or protect our rights.
- Store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
It is our policy to respect your privacy and any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, we collect 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.
Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use our website. From time to time, we may review non-personally-identifying information in aggregate, for example by looking at a report of usage trends across our website.
We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. We only disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to our website choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction.
For example, we ask visitors who comment on our content to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, we collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction.
We do 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
We may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to our websites. For instance, we may monitor the most popular pages on our website or use comments screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, we do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Personally-Identifying Information
We disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to our site administrators and affiliated organisations that need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available at our website. Some of those site administrators and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using our website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
We will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone, ever.
Other than to our site administrators and affiliated organisations, as described above, we disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental or law enforcement request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our property or rights or those of third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of our website and have supplied your email address, we 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 our website. We primarily use our website to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
We take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
