- VegInsider will never share users’ personal information with third parties anyone except to comply with the law, or protect the website’s rights.
- Currently, we don’t develop or sell products or services, so asking for your personal information isn’t even necessary.
- VegInsider doesn’t store personal information on its servers unless required for the on-going operation of the site.

Website Visitors
Like the vast majority of website operators, VegInsider.com collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers are known to make available at times, such as the type of browser used by the visitor, language preference, referring website, and the date and time of a visitor request. The company’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use this website.
The site also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users that at some point decide leave comments on this website. VegInsider only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described in this page, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site’s blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
From time to time visitors arriving to this website may choose to interact with the website in ways that require VegInsider.com to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information the site may gather depends on the how they interact with the platform.

In each case, the website collects such information only in so far as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with this website. VegInsider.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described on this page. Also, visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
The company may also collect statistics about the behavior of visitors on its website. For instance, the company may monitor the most popular pages on the VegInsider.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. VegInsider may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, the company doesn’t disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, VegInsider discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when the company believes in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the property or rights of VegInsider.com, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the site and have already supplied an email address, the company may occasionally send you emails to let you know about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with VegInsider. We primarily use the site’s blog to communicate this kind of information, so we expect to keep emails in general to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback forms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. VegInsider takes necessary measures to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
