It is SCION’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to https://scion.org/ (hereinafter, “us”, “we”, or “https://scion.org/”).

We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

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

SCION also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://scion.org/ blog posts. SCION only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to SCION’s websites choose to interact with SCION in ways that require SCION to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that SCION gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at https://scion.org/ to provide a username and email address.

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

SCION 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 in order to process it on SCION’s behalf or to provide services available at SCION’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, SCION discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when SCION believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of SCION, third parties or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of https://scion.org/ and have supplied your email address, SCION 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 SCION and our products. We primarily use our blog 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. SCION takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
