WEBSITE VISITORS
Like most website operators, ESVA UkeFest 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. ESVA UkeFest’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how ESVA UkeFest’s visitors use its website. From time to time, ESVA UkeFest may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
ESVA UkeFest also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on ESVAUkeFest.com blogs/sites. ESVA UkeFest only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Certain visitors to ESVA UkeFest’s websites choose to interact with ESVA UkeFest in ways that require ESVA UkeFest to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that ESVA UkeFest gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at ESVAUkeFest.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with ESVA UkeFest are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, ESVA UkeFest collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with ESVA UkeFest. ESVA UkeFest 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.
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
ESVA UkeFest discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on ESVA UkeFest’s behalf or to provide services available at ESVA UkeFest’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using ESVA UkeFest’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. ESVA UkeFest 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, ESVA UkeFest discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when ESVA UkeFest believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of ESVA UkeFest, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an ESVA UkeFest website and have supplied your email address, ESVA UkeFest 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 ESVA UkeFest and our products. If you send us a request (for example via 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. ESVA UkeFest takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
