Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At lostpapyr.us we have a few fundamental principles:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals: (Note, we’ve decided to make this privacy policy available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means you’re more than welcome to steal it and repurpose it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you, and if you want we’d appreciate a link to Automattic.com somewhere on your site. We spent a lot of money and time on the below, and other people shouldn’t need to do the same.)

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.

Lost Papyrus ("lostpapyr.us") operates several websites including lostpapyr.us, and tools.lostpapyr.us. It is Lost Papurys’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Lost Papyrus 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. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use the website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the website.

Lost Papyrus also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. Lost Papyrus 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 Lost Papyrus’ websites choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, Lost Papyrus collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with the site. Lost papyrus does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Lost Papyrus may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, we may monitor the most popular tools on the site. Lost Papyrus may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Lost Papyrus does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Lost Papyrus discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available at our websites, and (ii) that 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 Lost Papyrus' websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Lost Papyrus 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, Lost Papyrus discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Lost Papyrus believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Lost Papyrus, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Lost Papyrus website and have supplied your email address, Lost Papyrus may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Lost Papyrus and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Lost Papyrus takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Lost papyrus uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of Lost Papyrus' websites, and their website access preferences. Lost papyrus visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using our websites, with the drawback that certain features of our websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Lost Papyrus, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Lost Papyrus goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Lost Papyrus may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Lost Papyrus and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Lost Papyrus may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Lost Papyrus' sole discretion. Lost Papyrus encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
