This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit latex-cookbok.net (the “Site”) or write a post.
PREFACE
The Site is a privately maintained hobby page of a single person, even though below I write about “us”, for the case somebody else in the future would join my effort to maintain the site. There is no advertisement, no money making, no commercial use at the site. Users can register and post comments or write questions or answers. The data you posted during registration are used for technically operating the site and are stored in the site’s database and in the backup. Passwords are encrypted in a secure way (one way hash) and are transferred using an encryption protocol (HTTPS).
Important: Use a fictional name to register, so you can stay anonymous. That’s because when you publish a post or comment, your registered name is published with it. Us an email address that is not identifying you, such as from a free mail provider. Don’t state home town, occupation, or any interests, except if you would like to publish it that way.
Now details follow.
