analogindustries.com keeps all of its member data in a database on the same machine as the webserver. This database can only be accessed by processes on the same machine. The machine is used only by trusted users; therefore, you should not worry about your private info being given out.

Marketing: analogindustries.com will never sell, trade, barter, or give away your information to any third party. Analog Industries/Positron! related promotion will be the only thing your e-mail address will be used for. The rest of your info is used only for demographic averages.

Cookies: analogindustries.com uses cookies to make sure that you are logged in. As such, you cannot do member-related functions without accepting the .analogindustries.com cookie. This cookie is 40 characters long, and contains absolutely none of your personal data-- it's just a jumble of characters that represents a unique identifier. It is impossible for anyone on the Internet to read your personal data by reading your cookie.

Visitors under 18: please make sure that you have your parents permission before you give us, or anyone else on the Internet, your personal data. If you need help speaking to them about this sort of thing, point them at this page, and let them know that they can contact us if they have any questions.

Data sharing: blog posts are exported to other websites for syndication. An example of this is the AI RSS channel. Please don't be alarmed if, doing a web search, you find that a post you've commented on shows up on more than just analogindustries.com.

Private messages: member-to-member private messages are as private as anything else on the site. What this means is that the trusted users on the machine hosting the site ultimately have the ability to read them (see the first paragraph about member data). You should not worry about your messages being read, however, as everyone on the hosting machine is a privacy fanatic as well (and they all realize the integrity of a trusted relationship).

Any other privacy concerns/questions? Please contact us and we'll try to help out with your problems.
