Privacy Policy
- 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.
- In our blogging products, 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.
It is Blogfuse's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Blogfuse 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. Blogfuse's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Blogfuse's visitors use its website. From time to time, Blogfuse may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Blogfuse also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Blogfuse 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 Blogfuse’s websites choose to interact with Blogfuse in ways that require Blogfuse to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Blogfuse gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog profile at blogfuse.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Blogfuse – by purchasing a subscription for the Facebook App Creator for Bloggers, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Blogfuse collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Blogfuse. Blogfuse 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
Blogfuse may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Blogfuse may monitor the most popular blogs on the Blogfuse.com site. Blogfuse may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Blogfuse does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Blogfuse 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 Blogfuse’s behalf or to provide services available at Blogfuse’s website, 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 Blogfuse’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Blogfuse 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, Blogfuse discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Blogfuse believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Blogfuse, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of Blogfuse and have supplied your email address, Blogfuse 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 Blogfuse and our products. We primarily use our product blog 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. Blogfuse takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Blogfuse visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Blogfuse’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Blogfuse’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Blogfuse may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Blogfuse’s sole discretion. Blogfuse encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
