Privacy

I respect your privacy and I am committed to safeguarding your privacy while online at this site Auckland Harbour Cruise (http://auckland-harbour-cruise.blogspot.com/). The following discloses how I gather and disseminate information for this site.

RSS Feeds and Email Updates

If a user wishes to subscribe to my RSS Feeds or Email Updates if present, (powered by Google - Feedburner), I only ask for contact information such as name and email address. Users may opt-out of these communications at any time. Your personal information will never be sold or transferred to a third party. (You will never be spammed by me - ever).

Log Files and Stats

Like most blogging platforms I use a statistical package, in this case Google Analytics. This stores information such as visitor location, internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, search queries (keywords), internet service provider (ISP), referring, exit and visited pages, platform used, date/time stamp, track user’s movement in the whole, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. This now includes absence of search queries (keywords) displayed in Google Analytics, for searchers that are logged into Google Search. I use stats to help optimize this blog by trying to create targeted content to improve search engine visitors experience so that they can gain relevant information.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. This blog doesn't use cookies. However, some of my business partners use cookies on this site (for example - advertisers). I can't access or control these cookies once the advertisers have set them.

Links

This Blog contains links to other blogs or sites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites, other than my own blogs or sites. I suggest my users to be aware of this when they leave this site and to read the privacy statements of each and every site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Blog.

Advertisers

I use outside advertisement companies to display ads on this blog. These ads may contain cookies and are collected by the advertising companies and I do not have access to this information. I work with the following advertising companies: Google Adsense, Google Affiliate Network, Share a Sale, Fishpond NZ, and Amazon. Please check the advertisers websites for their respective privacy policies.
