Your data and what we do with it.

Our Website

This policy applies to crispycircuits.com.

Just to let you know, ALL servers of websites need to know the following:

• What operating system you are using.
• What web browser you are using.
• Your IP address, which may or may not show where your location is.
• Some various details like what languages you prefer.
• A few other things, mostly related to people with visual, auditory, and/or mobility disabilities.

Your browser or other programs that you use send us this information for the purpose of returning to you the information formatted as you request it. You can lie about all of it to protect your privacy should you choose to.

Amusingly, I use OpenBSD for my operating system.
I am shown to be using Linux.
I live right now in a city in Washington State.
I show up as being in Seattle or Oregon.
It has taken years to get Google to accept that I speak both English and Spanish.
So rather surprisingly, this system is often flawed.

Your browser or other programs that you use send us this
information for the purpose of returning to you the information formatted as you request it.
You can lie about all of it to protect your privacy should you choose to.

Our SSL Certificate

We use Let's Encrypt.
SSL certificates are used to upgrade from plaintext http to encrypted https. Plaintext http is dangerous as other parties may inject information into it, often either false information or malware. We also use it to encrypt emails during transmission at part of that route only. Do not consider email to be a private method of communication.

Information Collected on Our Site

We do not and will not ever sell, rent, lend, or give away your phone numbers, email addresses, home or business address to anyone else. We will only use that information in order to contact you with information that you actually tell us you want or that we reasonably believe that you may want. We may use your comments or questions on our web site or other materials if we believe it may be helpful or informative to either our customers or the general public. However, we will not identify you as the source of such without your prior permission. If you want us to identify you, please tell us exactly what information we may or may not disclose publicly, otherwise we will not.

We may or may not use cookies to assist your use of our site. Should cookie use ever be mandatory, we will post that information on any relevant pages.

Links to Other Sites

Our site may contain links to other sites not affiliated with us. Please note that these other sites may have privacy policies that differ from ours. We have no control over how any personal information that you provide to these sites is used or abused. These links may secretly be or become controlled by hackers, spyware companies or contain viruses or contain false, misleading or even dangerous information (as may any site on the Internet.)

Changes to Privacy Policy

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes here and possibly, to the home page, and/or other places that we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We reserve the right to change our privacy policy at any time, so please review it regularly. Nevertheless, we cannot imagine good reasons to ever be more revealing with names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. obtained from prospective customers trying only to contact us.

Credit Card Transactions

All information submitted and transactions completed on any site using credit cards will also fall under their privacy policies, which we have no control over. Please read their policy pages carefully.
