Your privacy is important to us. At Julie Britt we follow a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Julie Britt 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. Julie Britt’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Julie Britt’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Julie Britt may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Julie Britt also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Julie Britt 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 Julie Britt’s websites choose to interact with Julie Britt in ways that require Julie Britt to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Julie Britt gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Julie Britt updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Julie Britt collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Julie Britt. Julie Britt 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.

Julie Britt may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Julie Britt may monitor the most popular pages on the list25.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Julie Britt may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Julie Britt does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Julie Britt 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 Julie Britt’s behalf or to provide services available at Julie Britt’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 Julie Britt’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Julie Britt 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, Julie Britt discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Julie Britt believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Julie Britt, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Julie Britt website and have supplied your email address, Julie Britt 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 Julie Britt and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support 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. Julie Britt takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
