Privacy Policy/Information that is collected
Personally, I don’t collection personal information on any of the sites found on the reeset.net domain (marcedit.reeset.net, reeset.net, or blog.reeset.net). In cases where a comments form is enabled, I use Akismet to filter spam comments and generally, I make use of the Jetpack plugin on marcedit.reeset.net and blog.reeset.net only for the purpose of handling automated backups and providing some snapshot statistics. Included below is the information related to how JetPack and Akismet handle data and what is collected.
Contact Form
Data Used: If Akismet is enabled on the site, the contact form submission data – IP address, user agent, name, email address, website, and message – is submitted to the Akismet service (also owned by Automattic) for the sole purpose of spam checking. The actual submission data is stored in the database of the site on which it was submitted and is emailed directly to the owner of the form (i.e. the site author who published the page on which the contact form resides). This email will include the submitter’s IP address, timestamp, name, email address, website, and message.
Data Synced: Post and post meta data associated with a user’s contact form submission. If Akismet is enabled on the site, the IP address and user agent originally submitted with the comment are synced, as well, as they are stored in post meta.
WordPress.com Stats
Data Used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, country code. Important: The site owner does not have access to any of this information via this feature. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views, but he/she cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. Stats logs – containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) – are retained by Automattic for 28 days and are used for the sole purpose of powering this feature.
Activity Tracked: Post and page views, video plays (if videos are hosted by WordPress.com), outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. When this module is enabled, Jetpack also tracks performance on each page load that includes the Javascript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites in order to make sure that our plugin and code is not causing performance issues. This includes the tracking of page load times and resource loading duration (image files, Javascript files, CSS files, etc.). Do not track is enabled and should be honored.
