Summary

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Ilini we have 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 one of our services.
• - We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what's visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted. Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals.

Ilini uses third-party services such as Youtube (for videos), Google Analytics (for website analytics), Disqus (for comments) and Facebook (for some advertising). By using Ilini you agree to their privacy policies. 

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact us at support@ilini.com.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Ilini 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. Ilini's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Ilini's visitors use its website. From time to time, Ilini may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Ilini also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. Ilini only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Ilini’s websites choose to interact with Ilini in ways that require Ilini to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Ilini gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up to provide their name and email address. For other transactions, visitors may be asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Ilini collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Ilini. Ilini 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

Ilini may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Ilini may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Ilini does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Ilini 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 Ilini’s behalf or to provide services available at Ilini’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 Ilini’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Ilini 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, Ilini discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Ilini believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Ilini, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Ilini website and have supplied your email address, Ilini 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 Ilini and our products. 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. Ilini takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
