additionally if you have a domain registered with wordpress com we may share your information to comply with the internet corporation for assigned names and numbers icann regulations rules or policies for example your information relating to your domain registration may be available in the whois database or we may be required to share your information with icann approved dispute resolution service providers please see our domain registrations and privacy support document for more details to protect rights property and others we may disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of automattic third parties or the public at large for example if we have a good faith belief that there is an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury we may disclose information related to the emergency without delay business transfers in connection with any merger sale of company assets or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company or in the unlikely event that automattic goes out of business or enters bankruptcy user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred

version of your email address to facilitate customized ad campaigns on other platforms site owners if you have a wordpress com account and interact with another site using our services your information may be shared with the administrators of the site for example if you leave a comment on a site created on wordpress com or running jetpack your ip address and the email address associated

users data we aren t a data broker we don t sell your personal information to data brokers and we don t sell your information to other companies that want to spam you with marketing emails we show ads on some of our users sites as well as some of our own and the revenue they generate lets us offer free access to some of our services so that money doesn t become an obstacle to having a voice under a new california law the california consumer privacy act ccpa some personalized advertising you see online and on our services might be considered a sale even though we don t share information that identifies you personally like your name or email address as part of our advertising program you have choices about these ads learn more about them and our ads program information shared publicly information that you choose to make public is you guessed it disclosed publicly that means information like your public profile posts other content that you make public on your website and your likes

one is your g lobally r ecognized avatar or gravatar get it your gravatar along with other public profile information displays alongside the comments and likes that you make on other users websites while logged in to your wordpress com account your gravatar and public profile information may also display with your comments likes and other interactions on websites that use our gravatar service if the email address associated with your account is the same email address you use on the other website we also provide a firehose stream of public data like posts and comments from some sites that use our services to provide that data to firehose subscribers who may view and analyze the content all subject to our terms of service but do not have rights to re publish it publicly find out more about opting out of the firehose for wordpress com and jetpack sites public information may also be indexed by search engines or used by third parties please keep all of this in mind when deciding what you would like to share publicly how long we keep information we generally discard information about you when it s no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it described in the section above on how and why we use information and we re not legally required to keep it for example we keep web server logs that record information about a visitor to one of automattic s websites like the visitor s ip address browser type and operating system for approximately 30 days we retain the logs for this period of time in order to among other things analyze traffic to automattic s websites and investigate issues if something goes wrong on one of our websites as another example when you delete a post page or comment from your wordpress com site it stays in your trash folder for thirty days in case you change your mind and would like to restore that content because starting from scratch is no fun after the thirty days are up the deleted content may remain on our backups and caches until purged security while no online service is 100 secure we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access use alteration or destruction and take reasonable measures to do so we monitor our services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks to enhance the security of your account we encourage you to enable our advanced security settings like two step authentication choices you have several choices available when it comes to information about you limit the information that you provide if you have an account with us you can choose not to provide the optional account information profile information and transaction and billing information please keep in mind that if you do not provide this information certain features of our services for example

sharing information with our analytics tool about events or actions that happen after the opt out while you re logged in to your wordpress com account for more information please see our cookie policy
