Like most website operators, Beacon Models 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. Beacon Models’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Beacon Models’ visitors use its website. From time to time, Beacon Models may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, for example: by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Beacon Models also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Beacon Models 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 blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

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

If Beacon Models, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Beacon Models goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that are transferred or acquired by a third party.

Comments and other content submitted to Squarespace’s anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.
