Terms and Privacy Policy
This is the main privacy policy for StartJoe and for certain
services provided through the StartJoe Facebook Page by StartJoe
Association.
StartJoe Applications collect different types of information about our users for two main reasons:
1. To provide personalized services unique to individual users.
2. To help us to monitor and improve the services we offer.
There may be additional privacy policies that apply to certain
applications made by StartJoe. Please read these at the time you
register or subscribe for these services on these Facebook Page. Your
continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy
will constitute your acceptance of such change. StartJoe encourage
visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy
Policy.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, StartJoe 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. StartJoe's purpose in collecting non-personally
identifying information is to better understand how StartJoe's visitors
use its website. From time to time, we may release
non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by
publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
StartJoe also collects potentially personally-identifying
information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users
and for users leaving comments on StartJoe posts. StartJoe 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 are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog
where the comment was left.
Certain visitors to StartJoe's websites choose to interact with
StartJoe in ways that require StartJoe to gather
personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information
that StartJoe gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For
example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account on
http://StartJoe.com to provide a username and email address. In each
case, StartJoe collects such information only insofar as is necessary
or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction
with StartJoe. StartJoe 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
StartJoe may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to
its websites. StartJoe may display this information publicly or
provide it to others. However, StartJoe does not disclose
personally-identifying information other than as described below.
StartJoe 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 StartJoe's behalf or to provide
services available at StartJoe's 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 StartJoe's websites, you consent to the transfer of such
information to them. StartJoe 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, StartJoe discloses potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only
when required to do so by law, or when StartJoe believes in good faith
that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or
rights of StartJoe, third parties or the public at large. If you are a
registered user of a StartJoe website and have supplied your email
address, StartJoe 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 StartJoe and our products. 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.
StartJoe takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the
unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
