Internet user privacy and confidentiality is of

users, and maintain the Internet as a highly credible medium.
Information Collected
All users who visit
LivingWithBugs retain complete personal anonymity. We do not
acquire or collect any personal information about you when you visit, nor do we
require you to give us personal information to use our website. Your name, address, phone number, and email address all
remain your private property. LivingWithBugs does, however, collect
non-identifiable personal information which is specific to how you use our
website (all sites do this whether or not they say so).
Our servers record non-personally identifying
details such as, but not limited to, the server you are logged onto, the
geographic location of the ISP you use, the type of browser you use, your IP
address, the date and time, the duration of your visit and the pages viewed.
This information is obtained solely for the purpose of determining the number of
visits to our pages, how much time visitors spend and how many pages are viewed.
This information is pooled for statistical purposes and is not traceable to
individual users.
We are a legitimate informational website with
no interest in misdirecting you, hijacking your browser or using other
disreputable tactics.
Advertising
LivingWithBugs may use outside
organizations to provide advertising for our site. The links on these ads may
contain cookies that the advertiser uses to track the ad's effectiveness.
Cookies received with banner ads are collected by the advertiser(s), and we do
not have access or control over this information. Though we try to maintain
relationships with only the most reputable advertisers, we have no control over
their policies or procedures and cannot accept responsibility for their actions.
However, we welcome any questions or complaints regarding any ads posted on our
website.

not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with
your Personal Data. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on Your
web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site
and use Services, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s
