Website Visitors
Like most website operators, State of Being 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. State of Being's purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how visitors use its website.
State of Being also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users. State of Being 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 State of Being’s websites choose to interact with us in ways that require State of Being to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that State of Being gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up to provide their name, username and email address.

We may also collect personal information through automated technologies (such as cookies and analytics) and from third-party sources, where permitted by law.
Security
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

State of Being will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
We disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental requests, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of State of Being, third parties, or the public at large.
