Privacy
Here at Curiobot, we care so much about your privacy that we sat down and wrote a policy. You can think of this policy as something like a Valentine's Day card, made especially for you out of craft paper... except that it's also for everyone else.
We did not copy it from a look-like-you-care-about-privacy template. We wrote it from scratch. Because, as I've mentioned, we do care, and we wanted you to be able to read this without having to remember who is referred to as the "Contractee" or whatever. All of that said, please don't sue us.
Privacy Policy
We do not collect personal information at Curiobot. It is of no use to us. We are deeply interested in who the heck is visiting our site, but are much too lazy (and too ethical) to try and figure it out.
If you could find a place to enter your personal information for us to use on our site (besides on our Contact page), you'd be trying very very hard. We use one "cookie" to store your favorite products, but cookies are, by their nature, stored on the user's computer, so we don't ever see them. Sometimes cookies are used maliciously to help track a user's browsing history, or store information about a user's computer. Ours doesn't do that. It just contains a list of numbers relating to the products you like the best. That's not too bad, is it?
On our contact page, you have the option of providing an email address and/or name, only so that we can get back to you if you require a response. Your information will not be stored on our server. It is simply added as the respond-to address in an email that is sent to us with your comments. As such, it will not be sold, exchanged, given out, redirected, or used for any other purpose than to email you back. If you require that we delete your email address from our email programs after emailing you back, tell us, and we'll delete it.
Curiobot does not use encryption. This means that any data sent from your browser to our server, including page requests and submitted form data, may be viewed by others. This is how most websites work. Besides sending us your email address through our contact page, we can't think of a way that this could be taken as a threat to your privacy. But hey, we don't know you. Maybe you don't want your significant other to know that you're looking at Copper Cheese Sculptures online and you have a very resourceful (and very paranoid) significant other. Or maybe you're a rather dense spy or secret agent or whatnot.
Some information about you is passed to and collected by our server by default. We don't think that we need to tell you about it, because all servers require the information, but we're going to give you a quick summary. Information collected by our server may include your IP address (which can be used to obtain the location of your internet host), your browser and operating system type, the date of your visit, and the webpage that you came from. This is collected for statistical and security reasons and we can't do anything about it. We also use Google Analytics to collect general site usage data, you can read about what they do on their home page. Don't worry: knowing that you're using a computer running on Windows and that you're somewhere in eastern America isn't exactly identity theft material.
In the future, we may choose to implement a more active IP logging system, or add a more sophisticated way of storing your favorites, such as a user database. We'll change this policy before we do that, and we still won't sell or give out your information.
Finally, remember that this policy applies only to the Curiobot domains. Clicking on a link to one of the products will take you to another company's website, with yet another privacy policy. Sorry. We wish they were all this easy to read.
This policy is subject to change without notice. You'll have to notice the change to the policy subject. Ha ha...
