Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to all of us here at The Aimless & Andy Show. At Aimless & Andy we have a few fundamental principles:

* We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
* We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products and brands, or protect our rights.
* We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
* In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
* We believe in Trust. If you have sent us something in good faith and it is in good taste and non-threatening we will not share it with third party developers, or our respected affiliates unless permission is given by said user.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:Creative Commons License (Note, word press decided to make this privacy policy available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means you’re more than welcome to steal it and repurpose it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you, and if you want we’d appreciate a link to WordPress.com somewhere on your site. We spent a lot of money and time on the below, and other people shouldn’t need to do the same.)

Aimless and Andy's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Aimless and Andy's visitors use its website. From time to time, Aimless and Andy may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Aimless and Andy also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Aimless and Andy does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

  If you are a registered user of an Aimless and Andy website and have supplied your email address, Aimless and Andy 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 Aimless and Andy and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support 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. Aimless And Andy takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
