Privacy Statement
Packetizer values the privacy of its visitors. We do not share any personal information with any third party for any reason, except as specified herein or as required by law.
Packetizer operates mailing lists which are open to the public. Through those lists, it might be possible for third parties to get information, such as names and e-mail addresses, as most of those lists are published.
Metrics are recorded, such as the number of visitors, number of downloads, etc. Web server software we use logs the IP address of visitors (as is typical for nearly every web site on the Internet), but we do not store that information permanently. Such logging data is generally retained for about 30 days.
If you register as a user on Packetizer Forums, your email address, registration IP address, and other information you provide as a part of your profile is retained indefinitely. The software we use publishes the profile data you provide, except for your email address. The email address is used for registration verification and for contacting you should it be necessary.
Packetizer's various web sites serve advertisements that contain content that is not generated by Packetizer. In some cases, those advertisements might be accompanied by "cookies" that are used to serve ads based on a user's browsing patterns and/or interests. For Google ads, users may opt-out of such "interest-based" advertising.
