Terms Used

Throughout this privacy policy we use several specialized terms. "Personally Identifiable Information" is information that tells us specifically who you are, like your email address or full name. "User Information" means all Personally Identifiable Information and any other forms of information discussed in this privacy policy, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of a user's computer. We use the term "aggregate" when we combine information from various persons or users.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

We collect and store the the IP address of the user's computer, the user's browser software and operating system, the date and time the user accesses the site and the Internet address of any Web site from which the user clicked directly to our site ("HTTP referer") and, in some cases, to which the user clicks to follow a hyperlink from our site. We use this information to measure the number of visitors to various sections of PICOF.net and we sometimes share this information aggregated (not personally-identifiable) with third parties for advertising or commercial purposes.

For registered users, we collect and store the Personally Identifiable Information you provide through the registration process. We only disclose the information marked as "Public" in your user settings. We do not disclose your email address.

We may disclose personal information if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend our rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of PICOF.net.
