Your privacy is critically important to us. At Blogging Theme Styles, we have a few fundamental principles:

  • 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 share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data, please contact us.

Blogging Theme Styles operates several websites including bloggingthemestyles.com and demos.bloggingthemestyles.com. It is Blogging Theme Styles’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Blogging Theme Styles 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. Blogging Theme Styles’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Blogging Theme Styles’ visitors use its website. From time to time, Blogging Theme Styles may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Blogging Theme Styles also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. Blogging Theme Styles 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 and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Blogging Theme Styles websites choose to interact with Blogging Theme Styles in ways that require Blogging Theme Styles to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Blogging Theme Styles gather depend on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with Blogging Theme Styles – by purchasing access to this website, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Blogging Theme Styles collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Blogging Theme Styles. Blogging Theme Styles 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.

Blogging Theme Styles may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Blogging Theme Styles may monitor user content, comments, and forum posts on the bloggingthemestyles.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Blogging Theme Styles may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Blogging Theme Styles does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. 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. Blogging Theme Styles takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
