Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. At www.WeatherStrike.com (“WeatherStrike”) we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. We don’t 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 our site.
It is WeatherStrike’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, WeatherStrike 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. WeatherStrike’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WeatherStrike’s visitors use its website. From time to time, WeatherStrike may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
WeatherStrike also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. WeatherStrike 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 blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to WeatherStrike’s websites choose to interact with WeatherStrike in ways that require WeatherStrike to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WeatherStrike gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who wish to receive WeatherStrike updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, WeatherStrike collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WeatherStrike. WeatherStrike 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
WeatherStrike may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, WeatherStrike may monitor the most popular pages on the WeatherStrike.com site or use spam screened by a service to help identify spam. WeatherStrike may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, WeatherStrike does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
WeatherStrike 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 WeatherStrike’s behalf or to provide services available at WeatherStrike’s 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 WeatherStrike’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. WeatherStrike 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, WeatherStrike discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when WeatherStrike believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of WeatherStrike, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a WeatherStrike website and have supplied your email address, WeatherStrike 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 WeatherStrike and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs 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. WeatherStrike takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

WeatherStrike visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using WeatherStrike’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of WeatherStrike’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If WeatherStrike, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that WeatherStrike 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 WeatherStrike may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
