TechSplanations has a very simple privacy policy:

WE DON'T SHARE.

 

Some folks need the details, so here they are:

TechSplanations is a member of several professional organizations, including the Apple Consultants Network. Occasionally, these organizations share membership information with us, as well as connecting customers with us. In most cases, these individuals or businesses have requested information or otherwise published their information in a public forum. Under some circumstances, TechSplanations collects personal information from customers and parties who request information about us or our services. The scope of this information consists of name, company name, physical address, email address, and other relevant information. While simply browsing the TechSplanations website, there is no personally identifiable information transmitted to us - you are, for all practical purposes, anonymous. Without your explicit permission, TechSplanations will never, ever sell, rent, disclose, SHARE, change, mutilate, spindle, reverse engineer or give away your personal information, nor will we "SPAM" you with unsolicited e-mails. From time to time, TechSplanations does send information via e-mail. This includes confirmation e-mails generated by this system, updates from the company, and messages generated by our subscription-based mailing lists. Usually, e-mail correspondences are directly connected with a case opened with TechSplanations.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. TechSplanations use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once one closes the browser, the cookie simply terminates. The persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the hard drive for an extended period of time; it is used to automate the TechSplanations login process. It can be easily removed. By setting a cookie on our site, clients do not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on. If you reject the cookie, you may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that one will be limited in some areas of the site. Like most web sites, TechSplanations maintains detailed log files. These logs include internet protocol (IP) addresses of our visitors, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp. IP addresses, etc., and while they are not linked to personally identifiable information, they can be used forensically in the event of unauthorized use of this web site.
