Doodle Decoded operates doodledecoded.com and may operate other websites. It is Doodle Decoded’s policy to respect your privacy concerning any data we might collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like many website operators, Doodle Decoded collects non-personally-identifying data of the sort that web browsers and servers usually provide, including the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Doodle Decoded’s goal in gathering non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Doodle Decoded’s visitors use its website. Occasionally, Doodle Decoded might release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Doodle Decoded also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on doodledecoded.com blogs/sites. Doodle Decoded 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 commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering Of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Doodle Decoded’s websites choose to interact with Doodle Decoded in ways that require Doodle Decoded to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Doodle Decoded collects depend on the nature of the interaction. For instance, we ask visitors who sign up at doodledecoded.com to provide a username and email address. Those who transact with Doodle Decoded are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information needed to process those transactions. In each case, Doodle Decoded collects such information only to the extent necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Doodle Decoded. Doodle Decoded does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to provide personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from partaking in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Doodle Decoded may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Doodle Decoded may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Doodle Decoded does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection Of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Doodle Decoded discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on Doodle Decoded’s behalf or to provide services available at Doodle Decoded’s websites, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Doodle Decoded’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Doodle Decoded will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Doodle Decoded discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Doodle Decoded believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Doodle Decoded, third parties, or the public at large.
