Privacy Policy
This policy explains what types of information is collected by SELNHub.org and how it is used. The following policies are only in effect for the web pages, e-newsletters, discussion forums and lists owned and operated by SELNHub.org.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, SELNHub.org 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. We collect information during your visit to SELNHub.org through our automatic data collection tools which include cookies, web beacons, embedded web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. SELNHub.org’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how SELNHub’s visitors use its website. From time to time, SELNHub may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Cookies
From time to time, the SELNHub.org may send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a piece of data stored by a user's browser that helps a website or service such as this online dialogue tool to recognize that user's unique computer, and thus "remember" you on return visits. You can remove or block cookies by changing the settings of your browser.
Web Beacons
A web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1x1) or clear GIF which can recognize certain types of information on your computer such as cookies, the time and date of a page viewed, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. Some parts of SELNHub.org may use web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about your website usage and your interaction with email.
