Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

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

The Mor Lab also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. The Mor Lab 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.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to The Mor Lab websites choose to interact with The Mor Lab in ways that require The Mor Lab to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Mor Lab gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at WordPress.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with The Mor Lab – by purchasing access to the Akismet comment spam prevention service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, The Mor Lab collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Mor Lab. The Mor Lab 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

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

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

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

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. The Mor Lab uses cookies to help The Mor Lab identify and track visitors, their usage of The Mor Lab website, and their website access preferences. The Mor Lab visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using The Mor Lab websites, with the drawback that certain features of The Mor Lab websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to our Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, The Mor Lab may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in The Mor Lab sole discretion. The Mor Lab encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a WordPress.com account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
