Able Force, Inc. (“Able Force”) operates www.AbleForce.org. It is Able Force’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Able Force 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. Able Force’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Able Force’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Able Force may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Able Force also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. Able Force 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 forum commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the forum where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Able Force’s website choose to interact with Able Force in ways that require Able Force to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Able Force gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in public discussions with Able Force – by posting messages in the Comments box, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal information required to verify their identities. In each case, Able Force collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Able Force. Able Force 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
Able Force may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, Able Force may monitor the most popular forums on the AbleForce.org site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Able Force may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Able Force does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Able Force 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 Able Force’s behalf or to provide services available at Able Force’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Able Force 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, Able Force discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Able Force believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Able Force, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Able Force website and have supplied your email address, Able Force 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 Able Force and our programs and services. We primarily use our various issues forums 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. Able Force takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
