Version 07/01/2005

This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we gather when you use Codefetch's services, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it.

"Personally identifying information" is information that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address or email address.

Data collection

• The Codefetch search engine does not require any personally identifying information.
• Codefetch collects limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your query and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information to operate, develop and improve our services.

Cookies

Upon your first visit to Codefetch, a cookie may be sent to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service and to better understand how people interact with us. Codefetch does this by storing user preferences in cookies and by tracking user trends and patterns of how people search. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some Codefetch features or services may not function properly without cookies.

Information sharing

• We do not rent or sell your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals, unless we have your consent. We may share such information in any of the following limited circumstances:
• We have your consent.
• We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing personally identifying information on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
• We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Codefetch, its users or the public.
• If you have an account, we may share the information submitted under your account among all of our services in order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services. We will not disclose your account information to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in the limited circumstances described in this Policy or with your consent.
• We may store and process personal information collected on our site in the United States or any other country in which Codefetch Inc. or its agents maintain facilities. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities, including those located outside your country.
• In the event of a transfer of ownership of Codefetch Inc., such as acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide notice before any personally identifying information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• We may share aggregated information with others. Examples of this include the number of users who searched for "Oracle database" or how many users clicked on a particular book.

Information security

• We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.
• We restrict access to your personally identifying information to employees who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.

Links

• The sites displayed as search results or linked to by Codefetch's services are developed by people over whom Codefetch exercises no control. These other sites may place their own cookies on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information.
• Codefetch may present links in a format that enables us to understand whether they have been followed. We use this information to understand and improve the quality of Codefetch's search technology. For instance, this data helps us determine how often users are satisfied with the first result of a query and how often they proceed to later results.

Changes to this Policy

Please note this Privacy Policy will change from time to time. We will post those changes on this page. Each version will be noted at the top of the page.
