including comments and mentions, are considered publically available information.
Information sent in any way with a reasonable expectation of privacy is considered private for the purposes of this policy.
All such information included in, and connected to, such transmissions of information are classed as volunteered information.
That cookie is used by some functions, such as choosing post categories, in order to serve the relevant purpose.
Clearing your cookies destroys this information.
If you don't have an account, or you don't wish to sign into it on a particular visit,
you can happily continue with cookies entirely disabled, and it will not affect the fucntionality of the site.
Your cookie is encrypted in order to secure your information, and it is never shared with any other site or service.
We don't touch it.
Geolocation?
Not interested.
Sneaky javascript beacon thing?
Nope.
Image-embedded tracking? Email image call-home? Anything like that?
None of it. HTML email resources are not tracked (you can verify
it by checking the source) and you always have the option to switch to
plain text emails.
Some other creepy tracking method that's conveniently not mentioned?
Hell-to-the-no. Read line one of this policy to see why Burtman's not tempted by these sinful things.
nor will any advertiser, sponsor, donor, supporter or long-lost-uncle be permitted to use this site as a vector for the same.
As the site develops, some external websites may be linked to it, but rest assured, none of the government's data-mining tools like facebook, linked-in, twitter, google, etc., will be among them. Burtman favors independent, socially-responsible and non-profit organizations.
The pages that use javascript are:
Playlist : The music is embedded from SoundCloud
The relevant domains are soundcloud.com and sndcdn.com.
If you don't want to allow javascript from SoundCloud, the audio tracks will not play.
Maps : The maps are currently provided by Google, although alternative arrangements are in the pipe. The relevant domains are google.com, maps.googleapis.com and gstatic.com. If you don't want to allow javascript from Google, the map will not be displayed but the location names will still be shown.
Donate : Finally, there are a couple of small javascript functions on this domain; one which scales the main menu for smaller screens and one which loads the QR codes for the Burtman crypto wallets. If you don't want to allow javascript for this website, the QR codes will not display for the crypto wallets but the addresses will still be shown, and the main menu will not function on small screens.
Everything else will work properly without javascript, and you
can still make a donation with the plain text wallet address (thank you ).
Publically viewable information remains publically viewable until you delete it.
All personally identifiable information is permanently deleted from our systems as soon as it is no longer required in order to provide services. For example, even if you don't have a supporter account, we need your email address in order to send you updates, unless and until you unsubscribe from the mailing list.
In the case that removal of comments or other postings may damage the integrity of other information, especially information that is helpful to others, the posting may be censored according to your request, but not deleted. In such cases, the posting may also be unlinked from your profile to provide a degree of anonymity.
Your information is never shared with anyone, for any reason.
Publically viewable information that has been indexed by search engines is impossible to remove. Please be thoughtful what you enter on public pages.
All personal information in our database is stored in an encrypted state (Secure At Rest), which prevents its use in the unlikely event that the database is compromised.
Rest assured that this information is not linked to any identifiable information about you, and once the monthly anonymous traffic report is compiled, the specific information is permanently deleted. If you would like to know anything else about security and privacy on this site, just ask.
Last, but definitely not least;
Whenever you connect to any website, your browser sends
certain information about your device and location to those sites. These
days, there are an obscene amount of underhanded ways that advertising
companies and vested interests spy on you.
If you want to stay private online, consider using a VPN like RiseUp VPN,
and if you can afford to do so, please consider supporting the people
who provide these free services to protect your privacy and freedom with
a donation. They certainly appreciate it.
