Introduction

Sourcemap respects the privacy of its users. This policy describes the limited manner in which Sourcemap will collect and use its users’ information to provide and improve its services.

(1) Information Sourcemap Collects

The Sourcemap website (the “Site”), like many other websites, collects certain information about visitors, even those who are not registered users and users who are not logged in. When a user browses or downloads information from the Site, data is collected including but not limited to the user’s IP address, URL request, browser type, and the date and time of the user’s request.
Sourcemap also collects and stores any information a registered user (“Member”) provides to the Site, including but not limited to the Member’s username, email address, profile, and any user-provided content.

(2) Use of Information

User-provided content is generally accessible to other users.  Member usernames are visible to other users, and Sourcemap identifies all user-provided content with the username of the member who provided it.
If the Site permits Members to submit optional public profile data, including but not limited to a personal description or photograph, and the Member chooses to do so, that profile data will be accessible to other users.
If the Site permits users to submit comments or opinions about other users or their data, and the user chooses to do so, those comments or opinions will be accessible to other users.
The data Sourcemap collects is analyzed in various ways, including through an analysis service called Google Analytics, whose privacy policy can be found at www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/.
Sourcemap may use the email address a Member provides to contact that Member.

(3) Disclosure of Information

Log records, account information, and all material contributed to the Site may be accessed by Sourcemap staff. In addition to the uses described above, this information may be disclosed if Sourcemap is compelled to do so by law or if disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend Sourcemap’s legal rights.

(4) Cookies

Cookies are small text files that the Site can send to a user’s browser for storage on the hard drive of that user’s computer. Cookies make use of the Site easier by saving a user’s status and preferences. Cookies are refreshed every time a user visits. The Site may use session cookies to track a user’s interactions with Sourcemap’s services during an individual visit. To facilitate Sourcemap’s registration and login functions, Sourcemap may also use cookies to recognize when a Member returns to the Site. If a user does not logout of his or her account, these cookies allow Sourcemap to keep track of that user’s username and password so that the user does not have to resubmit the information to log into his or her account. If a user shares a computer with multiple people, that user should log out of his or her account so that the user’s logon information is cleared. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but a user may be able to change a browser’s settings to refuse cookies or to be alerted when cookies are being sent.

(5) Removal of Information

Sourcemap is not obligated to remove any Member’s account, content or other information posted by or about any user, or information associated with any user or account, upon request. Even if Sourcemap decides to remove information from visibility on the Site temporarily or permanently, Sourcemap reserves the right to keep the information stored on the Site and to retain copies of that information for restoration, archival, research, or business purposes.

(6) Underage Users

Sourcemap does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If a parent or legal guardian of a child under age 13 believes that child has submitted personal information to the Site, please contact Sourcemap immediately.

(7) Other Websites

The Site may link to other websites. Sourcemap is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such websites.

(8) Changes

Sourcemap may occasionally change this privacy policy. Please check back regularly to review the current version. A user’s continued use of the Site following such changes will constitute a user’s assent to them.
