<h2>Privacy Policy</h2>
<p>The &os; Project recognizes that your privacy and the
protection of your personal information is important to you
and is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy
Policy describes the measures taken by us to protect your
privacy in connection with your use of www.FreeBSD.org (our
"Site"). This policy does not cover mirrors of this content
on other hosts (the "Mirrors") or other &os;-related services
in the &os;.org domain ("Affiliated Sites").</p>
<p>This policy was last modified on October 19, 2012.</p>
<p>PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY USING THIS
SITE, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY.</p>
<h2>What information is collected on our Site:</h2>
<p>When you visit our Site we gather information regarding your
use of our site, such as the pages you view and the time you
view each page. We also collect information such as your
Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type and operating
system information. The foregoing information is
collectively referred to below as "Your Usage Data."</p>
<p>We store information such as your email address, name, and
organization or company ("Personally Identifiable
Information") only if you decide to send us such information
by submitting a &os; bug or problem report ("PR"), subscribing
to one of the &os; mailing lists or posting content to our
Site forums. The &os; Project allows unlimited distribution
of that content. Information submitted in those reports and
lists, including your Personally Identifiable Information, is
considered public and will be accessible to anyone on the web.
Such information is not only stored on servers belonging to
the &os; Foundation, but it is also stored on other servers
that mirror the content of our Site. The &os; Foundation has
no control over the use of that information, including your
Personally Identifiable Information.</p>
<p>This website uses a cookie to record layout style preferences
for individual users, as well track anonymous traffic data.
A cookie is a small text file provided by a web server that may
be placed on your computer by your web browser. Cookies cannot
be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by
a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. You
may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate
settings on your browser, however please note that if you do
this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this
or other websites.</p>
<h2>How the information collected is used:</h2>
<p>The &os; Project takes the privacy of our users and members
very seriously. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide
your personally identifiable information to any third parties
except as stated in this document. We will not associate any
data gathered from your use of our Site with any personally
identifying information.</p>
<p>The &os; Project will not use or share your personal
information in a manner that differs from what is described in
this Privacy Policy without your prior consent.</p>
<h2>How your information is protected:</h2>
<p>The &os; Project strictly protects the security of the
personal information you provide. Personal information we
collect is stored in password-controlled servers with limited
access, and we carefully protect this information from loss or
misuse, and from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration,
or destruction.</p>
<h2>When your information may be disclosed:</h2>
<p>The &os; Project may disclose personal information if required
to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is
necessary to:</p>
<ol><li>conform to the requirements of the law or comply with legal
process served on The &os; Project or the Site;</li>
<li>protect and defend the rights or property of The &os; Project;
or</li>
<li>act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety of users
of The &os; Project, its websites, or the public.</li></ol>
<p>Anonymized aggregate traffic data about website visits may be shared
for marketing or research purposes.</p>
<p>The &os; Project uses Google Analytics, a web analytics
service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics is a tool
that enables the &os; Project to see how visitors to our Site
use our Site and how they arrive at our Site. Google
Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your
computer, to help our Site to analyze visitor activity. We
send Google Analytics data that reports on your use of the
Site. That data includes Your Usage Data and is not
anonymised before it is transmitted to Google Analytics.
This un-anonymised data is stored by Google on servers, once
it is transmitted to Google. Google will use this
information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the
Site, compiling reports on website activity for website
operators and providing other services relating to website
activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer Your
Usage Data to third parties where required to do so by law, or
where such third parties process the information on Google's
behalf. Google will not associate Your Usage Data with any
other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies
by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however
please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the
full functionality of our Site. By using our Site, you
consent to the processing of Your Usage Data by Google in the
manner and for the purposes set out above.</p>
<p>With the exception of the transmission of Your Usage Data to
Google for the sole purpose of using Google Analytics and the
public access we permit to the bug reports you submit, the
mailing lists you subscribe to, and posting content to our
Site forums, the &os; Project does not share un-anonymised
data with anyone.</p>
<h2>Updates to this privacy policy:</h2>
<p>We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we
will also revise the "last modified" date at the top of the Privacy
Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy
to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information
we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your
agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.</p>
<h2>Sale of assets:</h2>
<p>In the unlikely event that The &os; Project or substantially
all of its assets are acquired, your information may be one of the
transferred assets.</p>
<h2>Third party links:</h2>
<p>In an attempt to provide you with increased value, we may include
third party links on our site. These linked sites have separate
and independent privacy policies. This Privacy Policy only covers
our Site and does not cover any other website. We therefore have
no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of
these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity
of our site and welcome any feedback about these linked sites
(including if a specific link does not work).</p>

Privacy Policy and any other matter you have regarding our Site.
