1. Website Visitors
Like most website operators, TechDirtBlog 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. TechDirtBlog’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TechDirtBlog’s visitors use its website. From time to time, TechDirtBlog may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
TechDirtBlog also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://www.TechDirtBlog.com/ blog posts. TechDirtBlog only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
2. Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, TechDirtBlog discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when TechDirtBlog believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TechDirtBlog, third parties or the public at large.
