Your privacy is very important to us. At The Cherry Barn we have a few fundamental principles that we follow: 

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

It is Cherry Barn’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, The Cherry Barn collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

The Cherry Barn’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Cherry Barn’s visitors use its website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Awesome Motive also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. The Cherry Barn only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to The Cherry Barn’s website choose to interact with The Cherry Barn in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, for those who wish to receive The Cherry Barn updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, The Cherry Barn collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Cherry Barn website. The Cherry Barn does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The Cherry Barn’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The Cherry Barn will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, The Cherry Barn discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The Cherry Barn in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Cherry Barn, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an The Cherry Barn website and have supplied your email address, The Cherry Barn may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with The Cherry Barn and our services. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), 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. The Cherry Barn takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
