Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

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

Bester News also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Bester News does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Bester News' websites choose to interact with Bester News in ways that require Bester News to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Bester News gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, Bester News collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Bester News. Bester News 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

Bester News may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Bester News may monitor the most popular articles on the BesterNews.com site. Bester News may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Bester News does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Bester News 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 Bester News' behalf or to provide services available at Bester News' websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Bester News' websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Bester News 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, Bester News discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Bester News believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Bester News, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Bester News website and have supplied your email address, Bester News 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 Bester News and our products. We primarily use our website 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. Bester News takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
