JL Austin ("JL Austin") operates jlaustin.org and may operate other websites. It is JL Austin's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

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

JL Austin also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on jlaustin.org blogs/sites. JL Austin 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 JL Austin's websites choose to interact with JL Austin in ways that require JL Austin to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that JL Austin gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at jlaustin.org to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with JL Austin are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, JL Austin collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with JL Austin. JL Austin 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.

The personal data that we specifically capture on this website includes:

  • Your email address is stored until the post and/or product you commented upon is deleted (Contact).
  • Your email address is stored until your account is deleted (Contact).
  • Your email address is stored when a login fails to assist in breach detection (Security).
  • Your email address is stored when you submit a form (Contact).
  • Your IP address is stored until your account is deleted (Contact).
  • Your IP address is stored when a login fails to assist in breach detection (Security).
We use Google Analytics to collect, monitor and analyze aggregate access patterns in order to increase our services and functionality. We make full use of Google's IP Anonymization support which anonymizes your IP address at the earliest possible stage of the collection network. The IP anonymization feature in Analytics sets the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses to zeros in memory shortly after being sent to the Analytics Collection Network. We also turn off campaign tracking and so protect your anonymity further should you receive an email from us with campaign information in the link.
