Privacy Policy
Bubbling Well Road, LLC ("Cahokia") operates CahokiaRice.com and may operate other websites. It is Cahokia's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Cahokia 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. Cahokia's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Cahokia's visitors use its website. From time to time, Cahokia may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Cahokia also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on CahokiaRice.com blogs/sites. Cahokia 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 commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Cahokia's websites choose to interact with Cahokia in ways that require Cahokia to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Cahokia gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.
For example, we ask visitors who sign up at CahokiaRice.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Cahokia are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.
In each case, Cahokia collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Cahokia. Cahokia 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
Cahokia may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Cahokia may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Cahokia does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Cahokia 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 Cahokia's behalf or to provide services available at Cahokia's 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 Cahokia's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
Cahokia 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, Cahokia discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Cahokia believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Cahokia, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Cahokia website and have supplied your email address, Cahokia 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 Cahokia and our products.
If you send us a request (for example via 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. Cahokia takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
