The website address is https://vissiniti.com.
Information collected
The information to which the website vissiniti.com has access falls into two types:
Information that does not identify you: for example, aggregated data collected by third party services on how visitors use the vissiniti.com website.
Information that relates directly to you: for example, your name and email address if you choose to make contact via email, or otherwise.
Third party Services
This website is hosted by WordPress.com, a subsidiary of Automattic, and contains links that can track information. The links are provided by Automattic’s companies (WordPress.com, JetPack.com) and Google Analytics. Other than utilising their services, this website is not associated with any of those third-party service providers and those providers have their own privacy policies and rules about information collection, use and sharing, which you should review on their respective websites (Automattic and Google Analytics).
Information you choose to provide
If you contact this website directly via email, your contact information will be retained solely in order to clarify or respond to your reason for making contact. The administrator of the website will not share your information with anyone else.
If your email is about scientific research or a potential collaboration, the administrator of this website will retain your contact details for future communication. In these circumstances, the website administrator will request your approval to retain your details and will not share your information with anyone else without your prior approval.
If you post a comment on this website, the comment will be visible to all who visit the website along with your username (if enabled) because information that you choose to make public is disclosed publicly.
Information Collected Automatically
The data accessible by the website administrator about visitors to the website is in the form of anonymous aggregated information and statistics compiled by third-party services and is collected in various ways as described below.
Cookies and other tracking technologies
This website uses cookies and other tracking technologies. Some of these technologies are necessary for the website to work and some are used for performance and analytics. Cookies are small files that a website or its third-party service provider(s) transfers to your computer through your web browser in order to recognise your web browser, capture and track certain information. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. You do this through the privacy and security settings in your particular browser (each browser is different, therefore you should look at your own browser’s Help menu to learn how to modify your cookies or take a look at websites such as, for example, AboutCookies.org or AllAboutCookies.org to find out more).
By continuing to use this website without changing your settings, you are agreeing to the use of these cookies.
Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics and WordPress.com Stats on JetPack to gather information that helps the administrator of this website to understand how visitors interact with the website. The website administrator sees this only as anonymous aggregated statistics such as visitor numbers, popularity of individual posts, and where in the world visitors to this website are located. Google Analytics also provides anonymous aggregated information about the means by which visitors connect to the website (such as browser type, device, operating system, internet service provider). The website administrator uses this information in order to understand the usage of this website and to improve the content so that you can enjoy what you read on the website. These third parties utilise tracking technologies to provide these analytics features. They have their own privacy policies and rules about information collection, use and sharing, which you can review on their respective websites.
THIRD-PARTY websites
This website contains links to third-party websites for your convenience and information (such as Amazon, IMDb, Netflix, YouTube, scientific journals, newspaper articles, and others too numerous to mention here). These websites have different security, privacy and information collection policies and rules. This website and its administrator have no control over, and take no responsibility for, information submitted to those third party websites. When you leave this website, you should read the terms, conditions and privacy policy of each third-party website.
AFFILIATE MARKETING
From time to time, links on this website may be linking to products on Amazon. The links to these products are relevant to the subject focus of this website (such as a sci-fi movie or a science text book). The links may utilise tracking technologies to collect information about your use of Amazon’s website if you click on the link. The tracker remembers this website’s own affiliate identification details as the referrer so that if during your journey you purchase something, as an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon does not share any purchaser information with the administrator of this website. Amazon has its own privacy policy and rules about information collection, use and sharing, which you should review on its own website (Amazon UK).
Embedded content from other websites
Some pages and posts on this website may include embedded content from other websites (for example, Twitter feed, and any videos that play directly on the site). Unlike links which send you to another website, embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account with that website and are logged in. Those third parties have their own privacy policies and rules about information collection, use and sharing, which you should review on their respective websites.
Security
Antivirus and malware scanning is undertaken regularly by WordPress.com (or its associated companies at Automattic) for security and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to this website as safe as possible. Information on these security measures can be found on their website.
Sharing information
The administrator of this website does not sell, trade, rent or otherwise transfer to others any information regarding visitors to this website.
The third parties who provide this website with the services described in this Privacy Policy have their own privacy policies and rules about information collection, use and sharing, which you can review on their respective websites.
Agreement to this Privacy Policy
By continuing to use this website, you signify your agreement to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use this website.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. When changes are made, the date at the bottom of this page will be updated. You are encouraged to review this page frequently to stay up to date with the current Privacy Policy — your continued use of this website following posting of changes to this Privacy Policy will be deemed as your acceptance of those changes.
