1. Coverage of This Statement
This privacy policy and its contents pertains to this site (fayemata.com) and sub pages attached to it. This statement may not be all inclusive and is subject to change without any notification. Some links on this website go to third-party websites and content providers. This privacy policy nor the website owner or operator make any guarantee to the policies governing these third party entities. Key third party entities will have their privacy policy linked in this statement. It is the responsibility of the visitor to familiarize themselves of these policies.
2. "Right to Know" Statement
As an end-user of this website, you have the right to be aware of information that may be collected by this site, and what measures are used to safeguard that information. You also have the right to know how information you willfully supply is used. This privacy statement is therefore provided to you for your reference and understanding of how your information is handled by this website and its operators.
3. Collection of Information
Like many websites, this site collects a set of basic information that is used to identify your work station to a certain degree. This information helps track traffic, potential abuse, on-site browsing habits, and other non-intrusive behaviors. There are two categories within this section: local sources and variable sources. This section will cover each of these categories and what information is collected by each.
A. Local Sources
Low-risk information is collected automatically by this site that is used to monitor web metrics, traffic, and behavior. Information that is collected includes: your internet protocol (IP) address, web browser, operating system, and national origin. In addition, information is collected automatically by the server that hosts this site. To verify information such as the validity of the request (page codes), the risk of the request (whether the requestor is a human), and how to display content (phone, computer, or other), the hosting server automatically collects this information. The software that is on the server then stores that information for the purpose of visitor logging.
B. Variable Sources
1. Google, Inc
For more accurate measurements of site traffic and activity, this site utilizes Google Analytics web monitoring scripts to get more precise metrics without querying the IP address. Information is gathered on-site, and then communicated to Google servers in order to analyze information that may be revealed by this address. Information such as geographic location (at the national level) and estimated demographics are collected. This can help the site operator make decisions on site content.
2. WordPress JetPack
Limited information, such as pages visited and internet protocol addresses are also provided to WordPress by the JetPack software. These are simply another version of metrics that are generated by the host server. No additional information is provided to WordPress.
The information provided involuntarily, especially beyond information collected by the webhosting server, is arguably accurate. The estimated demographics do not reveal any personal identity or precise geographic information. More information on data collected from these sources can be found in the links provided below:

4. Maintaining & Storing of Collected Information
This section pertains to local sources only, and does not extend itself to metrics generated and collected by third party sources.
The server this site is hosted on collects a bare minimum quantity of information by default. This information includes what is outlined in section 3, sub-section A. Data that is collected via this means is stored on the server for a variable amount of time that depends on the information that is being queried. In general, IP addresses, internet service provider (ISP) data, and node location data are discarded automatically after a period of thirty (30) days. Logs of this information are stored for an additional sixty (60) days beyond the initial deletion date. This specific data is used to determine abuse and is not used for any marketing, personal identification, or data harvesting.
Information such as web browser, national geographic location, and operating system is logged for an indefinite amount of time. This information is used to help better track website activity and make web related decisions within the scope of the site operators authority. Any information collected on this server is used for internal operations only. The site operator will never sell this data or disclose the data to any third party, excluding law enforcement agencies with signed documentation.
End User Privacy Agreement
As the end-user, you release your right to query the site operator for the specified information mentioned above. You also understand that the information you are supplying is kept confidential and is not released to anyone excluding local law enforcement agencies should the information be solicited. Lastly, you understand that continued use of this website implies consent to the terms outlined in this privacy statement, including the information listed above.
The information specified above is stored in two locations, depending on the age of the information. In the instance of information which has a timetable for deletion, initial logs are stored on the server this site is hosted on for the initial period of thirty (30) days in a secure location. After this initial period, the logs are securely transmitted to a backup server maintained by this site's web host for an additional sixty (60) days. A period of ninety (90) days elapsed results in the safe deletion and shredding of this information.
In the instance of information which is stored indefinitely, data is stored and life-cycled on this site's server in a secure location. This data is not transmitted to any external source, unless it is also captured by one of the aforementioned third-party entities mentioned in section 3, sub-section B. Only the server administrator and web host has access to any of the information collected in this section unless it is queried by the site operator, which may be done periodically to assess site-related actions.
