Elbongurk, Privacy, and You

Overview

To the extent that our branding services can provide functionality without mining personal information, we prefer to avoid collecting it from you.

In the cases where we do collect data, we try to be clear about why we're collecting it, collect as little as we need, tell you how long we keep it, and delete it when we no longer need it.

We use modern security measures to protect collected data, and limit access to only those employees who require access to perform their jobs. We may be legally required to disclose collected data to law enforcement or government agencies in some situations.

Newsletter

You may be given a one-time opportunity to sign up for our email newsletter the first time you interact with us. If you decline, no data will be sent. If you accept, the email address you provide will be added to the our newsletter mailing list.

Our mailing list is low volume (only a few messages per year is typical) and is generally limited to announcements of significant new work we've recently completed or important blog postings we've recently made.

We do not sell or otherwise disclose any portion of our email list to third-parties, with the exception of the vendor that provides our mailing list services as necessary to distribute the emails.

If you join our newsletter, we retain your email address until you ask to be removed. Instructions on how to unsubscribe are contained in all messages sent as part of the newsletter subscription. You can also contact us directly at hello@elbongurk.com to unsubscribe.

Logging

When you interact with our servers using a web browser, some metadata about the request is logged. This metadata may include:

• your IP address (which can potentially reveal your approximate geographic location)
• the name of the resource requested
• the name and version number of the software making the request (may reveal information about your web browser, operating system, and their configuration)
• whether or not the request was successful
• current date and time

We generally don't look at these logs unless a server is malfunctioning or appears to be getting accessed with malicious intent. We may look at the information in aggregate to see broad statistics such as how many times our web pages have been accessed, or from which source an unusually high amount of network traffic is arriving.

We retain server logs for one week.
