§ don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
§ don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
It is Savings Beagle’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Savings Beagle 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. Savings Beagle’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Savings Beagle’s visitors use the website. From time to time, Savings Beagle may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Savings Beagle also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our site. Savings Beagle 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 Savings Beagle’s websites choose to interact with Savings Beagle in ways that require the site 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 visitors who comment on our site to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Savings Beagle posts and updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Savings Beagle collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Savings Beagle. Savings Beagle 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
Savings Beagle may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Savings Beagle may monitor the most popular pages on the site or use spam screened by the CleanTalk service to help identify spam. Savings Beagle may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Savings Beagle does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Savings Beagle 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 Savings Beagle’s behalf or to provide services available at Savings Beagle’s website, 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 Savings Beagle’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Savings Beagle 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, Savings Beagle discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Savings Beagle believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Savings Beagle, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Savings Beagle website and have supplied your email address, Savings Beagle 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 Savings Beagle. 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. Savings Beagle takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized 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. Savings Beagle uses cookies to help Savings Beagle identify and track visitors, their usage of the Savings Beagle website, and their website access preferences. Savings Beagle visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Savings Beagle website, with the drawback that certain features of Savings Beagle’s website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the Savings Beagle site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our Savings Beagle (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on Savings Beagle may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Business TransfersIf Savings Beagle, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Savings Beagle goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Savings Beagle may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer.
