This Privacy Policy explains what information the Design Conversations website collects about our visitors and what we do with that information.

Scope of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the information that we obtain through your use of the Design Conversations website (designconversations.net).

Website visitors

Like most website operators, Design Conversations 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. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the website.

Design Conversations also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. We do not use such information to identify our visitors, however, and do not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of personally-identifying information

Certain visitors to the Design Conversations website choose to interact with it in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask subscribers to our newsletter to provide a name and email address. In each case, Design Conversations collects such information only as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with us. We do 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

Design Conversations will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

If you are a registered user of Design Conversations newsletter and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new episodes, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Design Conversations. We primarily use our website to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.

Design Conversations takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Design Conversations uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of the website, and their website access preferences. Website visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using our website, with the drawback that certain features of the website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Privacy Policy changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Design Conversations may change our Privacy Policy from time to time, and at our sole discretion. We encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to our Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
