Website Visitors

Like many other website operators and web sites, Glampified.com collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make through the use of log files such as information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your internet protocol (IP) address, language preference, geographical location, type of browser and version, operating system, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring source/exit pages, length of visit, page views and number of clicks to analyse trends, administer the site, track user’s movement around the site, and gather demographic information.(IP addresses, and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable).

Glampified.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Glampified.com‘s visitors use its website. From time to time, Glampified.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

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

Before disclosing to us personal information of another person, you should obtain that person’s consent to both the disclosure and the processing of that personal information in accordance with this policy.

In each case, Glampified.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Glampified.com. Glampified.com 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.
