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

WorldWideWave Productions also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on TimeoftheSixthSunLaunch.com and/or TimeoftheSixthSun.com blogs/sites. WorldWideWave Productions 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 commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Certain visitors to WorldWideWave Productions' websites choose to interact with WorldWideWave Productions in ways that require WorldWideWave Productions to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WorldWideWave Productions gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at TimeoftheSixthSunLaunch.com and/or TimeoftheSixthSun.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with WorldWideWave Productions are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, WorldWideWave Productions collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor's interaction with WorldWideWave Productions. WorldWideWave Productions 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.

WorldWideWave Productions may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. WorldWideWave Productions may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, WorldWideWave Productions does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

WorldWideWave Productions discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on WorldWideWave Productions' behalf or to provide services available at WorldWideWave Productions' websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using WorldWideWave Productions' websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Wave Productions will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, WorldWideWave Productions discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when WorldWideWave Productions believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of WorldWideWave Productions, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an WorldWideWave Productions website and have supplied your email address, WorldWideWave Productions 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 WorldWideWave Productions and our products. If you send us a request (for example via 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. WorldWideWave Productions takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

If WorldWideWave Productions, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that WorldWideWave Productions goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of WorldWideWave Productions may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
