Your privacy is very important to us. At Global Sightseer we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
- We only ask you for personal information if we truly need it.
- 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, Global Sightseer 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. Global Sightseer’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Global Sightseer’s visitors use its website.
Global Sightseer also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users leaving comments. Global Sightseer 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 Global Sightseer’s websites choose to interact with Global Sightseer in ways that require Global Sightseer to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Global Sightseer 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 Global Sightseer updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Global Sightseer collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Global Sightseer. Global Sightseer 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
Global Sightseer may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to this website. For instance, Global Sightseer may use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Global Sightseer may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Global Sightseer does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Global Sightseer discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those at Global Sightseer, contractors and organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Global Sightseer’s behalf or to provide services available at Global Sightseer’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those at Global Sightseer, contractors and organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using Global Sightseer’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Global Sightseer will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to those at Global Sightseer, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, Global Sightseer discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Global Sightseer believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Global Sightseer, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Global Sightseer website and have supplied your email address, Global Sightseer 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 Global Sightseer. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. Global Sightseer takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Global Sightseer may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
