Cookies
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These 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 and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We obtain anonymized usage data for the site at large through the use of Google Analytics. No personally identifying information about you will be recorded. This helps us determine the general popularity of various parts of the site so that we can plan service improvements. It may also give us general insights about the success of advertising campaigns.
Who we share your data with
Only employees and contractors of Many Weathers can see any data saved about you, and only when it directly relates to their specific duties. We do not sell or share your data with any third parties.
How long we retain your data
For users that register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
We make use of the email service Mail Chimp to send our newsletters and other announcements. If you have opted-in to our newsletter, we may sync some basic information about you to Mail Chimp to help us address our emails to you. Mail Chimp may not use or distribute this information for any reason other than delivering the emails from us to you. You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time to stop receiving these emails.
We use Paypal as our online payment processor. We may also share your name and email address with Paypal for the sole purpose of identifying payments made by you, to make it possible for us to look up charges to your account, double-check their accuracy, and refund them if requested.
Your contact information
Physical contact information is used only to fulfill your orders. On rare occasions, we may use your provided contact information (email) to contact you off-site. This includes “transactional” messages (such as receipts,) and questions or notices regarding your account. If you have signed up for our mailing list, we may also use your email to send you our newsletter.
Additional information
How we protect your data
All connections to the site are done via https:// with a valid third party SSL certificate to prevent attackers from “listening in” or changing data as it is sent between your computer and our server, and vice versa.
All passwords are stored using one-way encryption; not even the staff here at Many Weathers can see your password. In addition, access to even the encrypted passwords is restricted to a very small number of staff members whose jobs absolutely require interacting with the database.
We keep our underlying software updated with all necessary security patches.
Your credit card data never touches our server and is instead handled by Paypal.
What data breach procedures we have in place
If we discover or suspect that a data breach has taken place, we will notify all potentially affected users as soon as possible, and no later than 24 hours after becoming aware of the data breach. This will allow potentially affected users to take immediate action to protect themselves such as by changing their passwords on any other site where they re-used their Many Weathers password.
We will thoroughly investigate the breach or potential breach, and provide further updates to affected members should any new information of relevance come to light. We will also take corrective action to prevent a similar breach from re-occurring. However, these remedies will not delay our initial alert to members.
If we have a reason to suspect that an individual account has been compromised on the user’s end (ex. having your laptop that was logged into our service stolen, having your password known or guessed by a jealous ex) we may initiate a password reset and contact the account owner.
What third parties we receive data from
We receive anonymized data from Google Analytics regarding where people are accessing the site from, what browsers and devices are used when accessing the site, what portions of the site see the most traffic, and durations of sessions. This information is not personally identifiable to you and instead gives us an “in general” data view about how the site is used over time.
Mail Chimp gives us some information about when (or if) you open our email newsletters and what links you may click within them. This does not apply to “transactional” emails, such as account verification or receipts.
