Privacy Policy:

Latitude51North ("Latitude51North") operates Latitude51North.com and may operate other websites. It is Latitude51North's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Latitude51North 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. Latitude51North's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Latitude51North's visitors use its website. From time to time, Latitude51North may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Latitude51North also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Latitude51North.com blogs/sites. Latitude51North 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.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Latitude51North's websites choose to interact with Latitude51North in ways that require Latitude51North to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Latitude51North gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.

Those who engage in transactions with Latitude51North are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Latitude51North collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Latitude51North. Latitude51North 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.
