Privacy

Copyright © 2007 Clever Dude. All Rights Reserved.

This site is owned and operated by Mike (aka Clever Dude). Because I gather certain types of information about my users, I feel you should fully understand my policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how I use it.

Statistics and Personal Information

When you comment, you must leave your name and email address. However, I do not require your real email address, and I never use your publish or use your email address except to reply to a specific comment you may have left. I will never provide your email address to any third party.

This site does not directly place cookies on your computer, but I use certain sites that provide statistics that may use cookies. You are always welcome and able to block cookies from these sites. These cookies track such items as IP address, time of visit, pages visited, and length of visit, but the statistics are never used to identify a specific visitor by name unless that use breaks the law. Also, other third parties connected to this site such as advertisers may also place cookies on your computer, but you are welcome to block those cookies as well.

These statistics are used to determine traffic patterns, popular content, referring sources, and overall trends. I’m not concerned with who you are, just where you came from and what you liked and disliked while you’re here. I also track search terms from within the site as well as through search engines, but do not associate the search term with any individual. We also may provide this data to advertisers, in aggregate form, so that they may determine their own advertising strategy with Clever Dude.

Opt Out Policy

If you don’t want me to have your email address, then make one up or just don’t comment or email me.

If you use the “Subscribe to Comments” feature in any of our articles, and wish to stop receiving email updates when someone comments, I provide a link within the email to unsubscribe. If something doesn’t work, then email me and I will remove you manually.

If you subscribe to my emails via Feedburner, you have an option within each email to unsubscribe. If something doesn’t work, then email me and I will remove you manually.

External Links

I have no control of other people’s sites. If you click on a link to a URL other than http://www.cleverdude.com, you’re leaving my site into unknown waters. Browse the internet at your own peril. I try to only place links to other blogs and websites I myself have visited and recommend, but some ad networks do not allow much control over ads shown on my site.

Updates to the Privacy Policy

If I ever make policy updates, I’ll change this page. Since we don’t send unsolicited emails except as described above, I’m not going to email you the updates.
