– Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Radio4All 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. Radio4All’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Radio4All’s visitors use its website.

From time to time, Radio4All may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Radio4All also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on www.radio4all.org blog posts. Radio4All only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

– Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Radio4All’s websites choose to interact with Radio4All in ways that require Radio4All to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Radio4All gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at www.radio4all.org to provide a username and email address.

– 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.
