The Monkey Bible Project (MBP) adheres to the highest of Internet standards, protecting its users’ privacy, observing and championing Net etiquette, linking externally without endorsements, and aiming for factual information throughout. To that end, here’s a look at what we expect from users of our site.
By visiting the MBP web site, users agree that they will not use the site for any unlawful activity, or use it in any way that would violate the following terms and conditions.
This Web site is governed and construed by the laws of the State of Vermont. Any use of the Web site shall comply with all State of Vermont laws and regulations as well as with all federal laws and regulations. Any lawsuit or claim arising from this Web site shall be subject to exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Vermont.
MBP links to external web sites in the hope that users will find useful reference material on related subjects. Because MBP cannot control those sites, it cannot be held responsible for content included in them. Moreover, in no way should an external link be considered any form of endorsement by the MBP.
The MBP web site may contain surveys, sign up forms, threaded discussions, and other communication forums. By participating in any of these, users agree to send and receive messages that are both proper and related to the forum topic.
The following actions are prohibited:
Like most Web sites, the MBP Web site collects two types of information: anonymous information, and personally identifiable information.
By “anonymous information” we mean data that can’t be linked to specific individuals. We log user hits, visits, and sessions, but only capture information about the visiting user’s service provider. This information helps us create a better overall experience for Web site users. The statistics are compiled into Web site traffic reports, which help us understand, anticipate, and respond to user behavior.
“Cookies“ are another type of anonymous information. A Web site cookie is a small text file that a web server (such as MBP’s) places on a user’s computer. When accessing a cookie, a web server reads a number associated with a browser, but is unable to determine any data about a user (nor, for that matter, can the server do anything else with a cookie, malicious or otherwise). With that number, a web server can tailor its information to the needs of the specific browser. We rarely use cookies.
By “personally identifiable information“ we’re referring to data on specific individuals who have volunteered the information on certain MBP web pages. Data could include name, physical address, e-mail address, credit-card number, and so forth. Providing that information to us is purely voluntary and is used to serve you better. For example, when you fill in a comment form and give us your e-mail address, we’re able to respond to your question personally.
Personally identifiable information will be used by MBP only to communicate with you regarding the information requested, and will not be made accessible to unauthorized personnel at any time. The MBP adheres to the highest standards email communication practice including promptly removing email addresses from communication lists when requested.
MBP collects anonymous and personal information, and occasionally contracts with partners to collect information on behalf of MBP as well. MBP and its partners adhere to the privacy policy you’re reading now.
MBP and partner web servers contain state-of-the-industry security precautions that prevent personal information from being stolen or tampered with.
Unless a user consents to such distribution, MBP will not sell, lease, or give away personally identifiable information to other organizations, governments, or private businesses within the limits of the law. Outside of legal requirements, information entered on the MBP Web site will not be released to anyone without the consent of the user. MBP will conduct an annual evaluation to assure that individual privacy is protected.
