This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties, or to individuals that PHPCamp.net does not employ or manage.
Information Collected
We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website, which is to enable users to discover and share information with one another. This information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with this objective. We collect the following types of information from our PHPCamp.net users:
Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features.
Registration: In order for you to use some PHPCamp.net services, such as submitting new links to the website, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we require select personal information (e-mail address).
User Profile: To allow you to express yourself beyond just the information collected during registration, we enable you to provide additional information, such as a full name, blog URL, and birth date. In addition, you may choose to include photos of yourself in your profile. As indicated below, in the section titled "Sharing Your Information", you can control how your information is displayed and used.
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. PHPCamp.net and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser including your IP address, PHPCamp.net cookie information, and the page you requested. PHPCamp.net uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website. PHPCamp.net collects and, on any page, display the total counts that page has been viewed. This includes User Profile pages.
E-mail Communications
PHPCamp.net is very concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission, as detailed in the "Sharing Your Information" section below. PHPCamp.net may send out e-mails with PHPCamp.net-related news, products, offers, surveys or promotions if you have opted for weekly newsletter. You may also receive notification e-mails from PHPCamp.net, which may inform you of actions (e.g. comments posted on links submitted by you) that have been performed on the site.
You can opt-out of weekly newsletters. However, please note that in all cases you will continue to receive all system e-mails (e.g. those regarding forgotten user passwords) and legal notices (e.g. updates to our policies) from us.
Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people.
Some of our business partners, like our advertisers, may use cookies on our website. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies.
Sharing Your Information
Because PHPCamp.net enables people to discover and share information with one another, information about the people who use PHPCamp.net is an integral part of the PHPCamp.net experience. Rest assured that we neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone and that we will share your personal information only as described below.
PHPCamp.net team: PHPCamp.net team and authorized consultants and/or contractors may have access to user information if necessary in the normal course of business.
Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if PHPCamp.net, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.
Protection of PHPCamp.net and Others: We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of PHPCamp.net, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
User Profile information: Information collected during registration and subsequent visits, such as your full name and location, may be displayed to other users in your User Profile. The User Profile is the area on PHPCamp.net where we allow you to tell others about yourself and your interests.
Social sharing of data: PHPCamp.net allows other users to browse stories that you have voted, submitted, or commented on. This information is made available publicly via your User Profile, or via the public API (when available). PHPCamp.net may choose to post this data on other site features.
API: PHPCamp.net will allow third parties access to all the data that is already publicly available through the PHPCamp.net. PHPCamp.net will keep private any passwords and settings.
Syndication: PHPCamp.net allows for the RSS syndication of all of its public content within the PHPCamp.net website.
With Your Consent: Except as noted above, we will contact you when your personal information is shared with third parties or used for a purpose incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, and you will be able to opt out to prevent the sharing of this information.
Keeping Information Secure
Your PHPCamp.net account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. Protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer.
Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.
Ways to Control Display and Use of Your Information
As stated previously, you can always opt not to disclose information, but then you may be unable to use certain features on our website, such as posting new links. By visiting your User Profile, you can correct, amend, add or delete personal information on our website. When you update information, however, we often maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.
You may request deletion of your PHPCamp.net account by e-mailing us at help@phpcamp.net.
