Your privacy is critically important to HTML Symbols.net.

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
  • In our product, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.

It is HTML Symbols.net’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, HTML Symbols.net 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. HTML Symbols.net’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how HTML Symbols.net’ visitors use its website. From time to time, HTML Symbols.net may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. HTML Symbols.net also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. HTML Symbols.net does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below. Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information Certain visitors to HTML Symbols.net’ websites choose to interact with HTML Symbols.net in ways that require HTML Symbols.net to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that HTML Symbols.net gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask visitors who sign up for an username and an optional email address. HTML Symbols.net collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with HTML Symbols.net. HTML Symbols.net 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

HTML Symbols.net may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, HTML Symbols.net may monitor the most popular maps and may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, HTML Symbols.net does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information HTML Symbols.net 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 HTML Symbols.net’ behalf or to provide services available at HTML Symbols.net’ websites, 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 HTML Symbols.net’ websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. HTML Symbols.net 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, HTML Symbols.net discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when HTML Symbols.net believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of HTML Symbols.net, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a HTML Symbols.net website and have supplied your email address, HTML Symbols.net 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 HTML Symbols.net and our products, and we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send HTML Symbols.net 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 HTML Symbols.net clarify or respond to your request or to help HTML Symbols.net support other users. HTML Symbols.net takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
