Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Profit Culture 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. Profit Culture’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Profit Culture’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Profit Culture may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Profit Culture also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on its blogs. Profit Culture 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 Profit Culture’s website choose to interact with Profit Culture in ways that require Profit Culture to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Profit Culture gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, Profit Culture asks visitors who comment on blogs to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Profit Culture updates via email, emails are collected. In each case, Profit Culture collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Profit Culture. Profit Culture does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the limitation that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Profit Culture primarily uses various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so this type of email is to be kept to a minimum. If you send a request (for example via a support email or via a feedback mechanism), Profit Culture reserves the right to publish it in order to help clarify or respond to your request or to help support other users. Profit Culture takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
