Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At Keto Polynesian we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

  • 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, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

Keto Polynesian is the only website we run which is https://ketopolynesian.com. It is Keto Polynesian’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Keto Polynesian 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. Keto Polynesian’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Keto Polynesian’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Keto Polynesian may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Keto Polynesian also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Keto Polynesian 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 blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Keto Polynesian’s websites choose to interact with Keto Polynesian in ways that require Keto Polynesian to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Keto Polynesian gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Keto Polynesian updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Keto Polynesian collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Keto Polynesian. Keto Polynesian 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

Keto Polynesian may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Keto Polynesian may monitor the most popular pages on the list25.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Keto Polynesian may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Keto Polynesian does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Keto Polynesian 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 Keto Polynesian’s behalf or to provide services available at Keto Polynesian’s website, 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 Keto Polynesian’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Keto Polynesian 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, Keto Polynesian discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Keto Polynesian believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Keto Polynesian, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Keto Polynesian website and have supplied your email address, Keto Polynesian 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 Keto Polynesian 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. Keto Polynesian takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Business Transfers

Ads appearing on our websites may be delivered to users by third party advertising partners, including Goggle, who use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website or other websites. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. Third party advertising partners’ and Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. (Alternatively, you can direct users to opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.)

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Keto Polynesian and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
