This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, maintain, and safeguard limited information when you visit www.scivoyage.com (“Website” or “Service”).

By accessing and using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms of this Policy.

Automatic collection of information

Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding the usage and traffic of the Website and Services. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any particular user of the system.

Cookies

Our Website and Services use “cookies” to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. You may learn more about cookies and how they work in this guide.

We may use cookies to collect, store, and track information for security and personalization, and for statistical purposes. For further information on the cookies we collect and their purpose, see our cookie policy. Please note that you have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.

Data analytics

Our Website and Services may use third-party analytics tools that use cookies, web beacons, or other similar information-gathering technologies to collect standard internet activity and usage information. The information gathered is used to compile statistical reports on User activity such as how often users visit our Website and Services, what pages they visit and for how long, etc. We use the information obtained from these analytics tools to monitor the performance and improve our Website and Services.

Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers allow you to enable a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature, which sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not want your online activity tracked.

• Currently, our Website does not respond to DNT signals, as the standard for DNT is not uniform across browsers.
• Regardless, we do not engage in cross-site tracking of personally identifiable information.
• We collect only minimal technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for the purpose of monitoring website usage and improving user experience.

Advertisements

We may display online advertisements and we may share aggregated and non-identifying information about our customers that we or our advertisers collect through your use of the Website and Services. We do not share personally identifiable information about individual customers with advertisers. In some instances, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements to the intended audience.

We may also permit certain third-party companies to help us tailor advertising that we think may be of interest to users and to collect and use other data about User activities on the Website. These companies may deliver ads that might place cookies and otherwise track User behavior.

Social media features

Our Website and Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook and Twitter buttons, Share This buttons, etc (collectively, “Social Media Features”).
