Word Jam Answers (“Word Jam”) operates wordjamanswers.com and may operate other websites. It is Word Jam’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

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

Word Jam also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on wordjamanswers.com blogs/sites. Word Jam 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 commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Word Jam’s websites choose to interact with Word Jam in ways that require Word Jam to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Word Jam gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at wordjamanswers.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Word Jam are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Word Jam collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Word Jam. Word Jam 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

Word Jam may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Word Jam may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Word Jam does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Word Jam 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 Word Jam’s behalf or to provide services available at Word Jam’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 Word Jam’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Word Jam 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, Word Jam discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Word Jam believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Word Jam, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Word Jam website and have supplied your email address, Word Jam 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 Word Jam and our products. If you send us a request (for example via 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. Word Jam takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
