Privacy Policy
It is within the best interest and express purpose of nshrine utilities ('nshrine.com') to allow users to remain as close to anonymous as is practical. Though complete anonymity cannot be attained, it is to be pursued and offered in part to those who may need or desire it.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, nshrine utilities ('nshrine.com') 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. nshrine.com's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how nshrine.com's visitors use its website. From time to time, nshrine.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
nshrine.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. nshrine.com does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to nshrine.com's websites choose to interact with nshrine.com in ways that require nshrine.com to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that nshrine.com gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account to provide a username, email address, and information useful to the purpose of authentication. Those who engage in transactions with nshrine.com are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, nshrine.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with nshrine.com. nshrine.com 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.
