It is Bead Insanity's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating beadinsanity.com.

Website Visitors

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

Bead Insanity also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Bead Insanity does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to beadinsanity.com choose to interact with Bead Insanity in ways that require Bead Insanity to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Bead Insanity gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask commenters to provide a name, URL and email address. Bead Insanity collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Bead Insanity. Bead Insanity 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.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using beadinsanity.com, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Bead Insanity 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, Bead Insanity discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Bead Insanity believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Bead Insanity, third parties or the public at large. 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.
