Privacy Policy
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Indigo Spot 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. Indigo Spot’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Indigo Spot’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Indigo Spot may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Indigo Spot also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Indigo Spot 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 Indigo Spot’s websites choose to interact with Indigo Spot in ways that require Indigo Spot to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Indigo Spot gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, visitors may choose to comment on an article and are asked to provide a name and email address. In each case, Indigo Spot collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Indigo Spot. Indigo Spot 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.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Indigo Spot 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 Indigo Spot’s behalf or to provide services available at Indigo Spot’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 Indigo Spot’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Indigo Spot 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, Indigo Spot discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Indigo Spot believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Indigo Spot, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Indigo Spot website and have supplied your email address, Indigo Spot 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 Indigo Spot. If you send us a request (for example via the contact form 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. Indigo Spot takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
