Your privacy is critically important to us. At American Web Hotels we have a few fundamental principles:
- 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 on-going operation of one of our services.
- In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, American Web Hotels 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. American Web Hotels’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how American Web Hotels’s visitors use its website. From time to time, American Web Hotels may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
American Web Hotels also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. American Web Hotels does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to American Web Hotels’s website choose to interact with American Web Hotels in ways that require American Web Hotels to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that American Web Hotels gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at wordpress.com to provide a username and email address. American Web Hotels collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with American Web Hotels. American Web Hotels 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
American Web Hotels may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, American Web Hotels may monitor the most popular blogs on the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. American Web Hotels may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, American Web Hotels does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
American Web Hotels will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. American Web Hotels 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. American Web Hotels uses cookies to help American Web Hotels identify and track visitors, their usage of American Web Hotels website, and their website access preferences. American Web Hotels visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Americanwebhotels.com, with the drawback that certain features of American Web Hotels may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
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 American Web Hotels and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, American Web Hotels may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in American Web Hotels’s sole discretion. American Web Hotels encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a wordpress.com account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
Thank you to Automattic for letting us use their Privacy Policy as ours is the same
