Blogs Inn Privacy Notice

01 October, 2009

The Blogs Inn Privacy Policy describes how we treat personal information when you use Blogs Inn's products and services, including information provided when you use Blogs Inn. In addition, the following describes our privacy practices that are specific to Blogs Inn.

Personal information

• Blogs Inn asks for some personal information when you sign up to use Blogs Inn Services, including your email address and a password, which are used to protect your account from unauthorised access.

• In addition to publishing your weblog posts, you may also provide additional profile information, such as a photo, birthday, location, etc. and can edit your profile at any time on our profile administration page.

• Blogs Inn servers automatically record information about your use of the service, such as when you use Blogs Inn and the frequency and size of data transfers. Information displayed or clicked in the Blogs Inn interface (including UI elements, settings and other information) is also recorded. If you are logged in, we may associate that information with your account.

• If you choose to use Blogs Inn Mobile, we will record your phone number when you send a text message, photos, or SMS to or from Blogs Inn. Your phone number may be associated with your Blogs Inn account or, if you do not have a Blogs Inn Account, with some other similar account ID. We often generate this account ID based on your device and hardware IDs, so if you change your device or hardware, you will have to re-associate this new device or hardware with your account before we can authenticate you.

Uses

• Blogs Inn stores and maintains your account information and copies of your weblog posts and comments, including drafts, in order to provide the service.

Your choices

• You can change your Blogs Inn account settings, including your profile information, at any time in the Settings section of Blogs Inn. You can edit, save drafts and remove your weblog posts at any time, as described in Blogs Inn FAQ.

• If you delete your weblog, we will remove all posts from public view. Because of the way we maintain this service, residual copies of your profile information and other information associated with your account may remain on back-up media.
