Your privacy is very important to us. At Cowboy Partners we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.

Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Cowboy Partners 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. Cowboy Partners’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Cowboy Partners visitors use its website. From time to time, Cowboy Partners may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Cowboy Partners also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Cowboy Partners 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 Cowboy Partners websites choose to interact with Cowboy Partners in ways that require Cowboy Partners to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Cowboy Partners 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 Cowboy Partners updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Cowboy Partners collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Cowboy Partners. Cowboy Partners 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.

Cowboy Partners may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Cowboy Partners may monitor the most popular pages on the analytics.google.com or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Cowboy Partners may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Cowboy Partners does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Cowboy Partners 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 to process it on Cowboy Partners’s behalf or to provide services available at Cowboy Partners 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 Cowboy Partners websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Cowboy Partners 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, Cowboy Partners discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Cowboy Partners believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Cowboy Partners, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Cowboy Partners website and have supplied your email address, Cowboy Partners 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 Cowboy Partners 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. Cowboy Partners takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
