This Privacy Policy is designed to inform users of m204wiki about how Rocket Software, Inc. and its affiliates ("Rocket", "we", or "us") gathers and uses personal information collected by us in connection with use of m204wiki. We will take reasonable steps to protect user privacy consistent with the guidelines set forth in this policy and with applicable U.S. laws. In this policy, "user" or "you" means any individual using m204wiki. By visiting m204wiki, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy policy.
What personal information do we collect?
We collect the personal information you disclose when you sign up for a m204wiki account. You are not required to register for an account or to provide any personal information to us in order to use m204wiki.
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files ("Web Tracking Information"). This information includes information such as your IP address, the time of your visit, your browser type, and your browser's language setting. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. m204wiki also may send one or more cookies — a small file that lives in your web browser that helps m204wiki operate with full functionality (such as keeping you logged into m204wiki). Most web browsers allow you to disable cookies, and you are welcome to continue to use m204wiki if you choose to do so. However, some of m204wiki's features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
If you send a communication to Rocket, we may hold onto that communication so that we can respond appropriately, and so that we can incorporate your feedback to improve m204wiki.
m204wiki collects all the information you provide when you modify the content of a page (such as making edits, creating pages, etc.). An indicator that you provided that information is left on the History tab associated with the new or edited page, on the Recent Changes link, and in your user contributions.
How do we use information collected?
We will use and store your personal information for the purpose of making m204wiki available to you, to analyze and enhance the operation of m204wiki, and for the internal operational and administrative purposes of m204wiki.
We use Web Tracking Information to administer m204wiki and to understand how well m204wiki is working. This allows us to determine which features visitors like best to help us improve m204wiki.
We may also create statistical, aggregated data relating to our users and m204wiki for analytical purposes. Aggregated data is derived from your information, but in its aggregated form it does not relate to or identify any individual. This data is used to understand our customer base and to develop, improve, and market our products.
Notwithstanding the above, we may in any event use personal information and other information collected through m204wiki, to the extent required by law or legal process, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements (including this Privacy Policy and the Terms of use) with you, or, if in our reasonable discretion use is necessary, to protect our legal rights or to protect third parties.
If you register and contribute to m204wiki, we may send you administrative emails.
What personal information do we disclose to third parties?
We do not disclose your name or email address to other users of m204wiki. We only share your personal information with others in the following circumstances:
- as described in this Privacy policy;
- with third party contractors, subject to obligations of confidentiality, who are permitted to use the information only to perform services for Rocket;
- with any law enforcement, judicial authority, or governmental or regulatory authority, to the extent required by law or if in our reasonable discretion disclosure is necessary to enforce or protect our legal rights or to protect third parties; and
- as we, in our sole judgment, deem necessary to investigate a breach of security.
If Rocket becomes involved in a merger or acquisition or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we reserve the right to transfer the information we have collected in connection with your use of m204wiki to the successor to our business.
Third-party websites
This Web site contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Rocket. Please be aware that we, Rocket, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Web site.
Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Modifications to this policy
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page. Notwithstanding any modifications we may make, any personal information collected from you will be treated in accordance with the privacy policy in effect at the time information was collected, unless we obtain your consent otherwise.
Effective date of this policy: 20 July 2011
