Privacy Policy

September 6, 2011

Dear Ikeslist.com Visitors,

I care; I really do, but if they want to find you, they will.
Below is sort of a "boilerplate" privacy policy.
I have read my privacy policy, and I take it seriously.
Try not to laugh when you read it.

Sincerely,
Ike.

Like most websites, IkesList.com 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.
IkesList.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better
understand how IkesList.com’s visitors use its website. From time to time, IkesList.com
may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a
report on trends in the usage of its website.
IkesList.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. IkesList.com
only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that
it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that
blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog
where the comment was left.

who engage in transactions with IkesList.com are asked to provide additional information,

necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with

information, which may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
