Privacy Policy

Below is our privacy policy. We copied most of it from Automattic Inc. They're good people, and help make the Web a better place. This policy is available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license.

We use Stripe's services for transaction processing, and Google Analytics for visitor information, as described below.

Holmwell Software LLC (“Holmwell Software”) operates several websites including circleblvd.org and holmwell.com. It is Holmwell Software’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Holmwell Software 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. Holmwell Software’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Holmwell Software’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Holmwell Software may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Holmwell Software also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Holmwell Software’s websites choose to interact with Holmwell Software in ways that require Holmwell Software to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Holmwell Software gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at CircleBlvd.org to provide a name and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Holmwell Software – by donating to Circle Blvd., for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Holmwell Software collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Holmwell Software. Holmwell Software 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.

Aggregated Statistics

Holmwell Software may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Holmwell Software may monitor the most popular pages on the CircleBlvd.org site. Holmwell Software may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Holmwell Software does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Holmwell Software 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 Holmwell Software’s behalf or to provide services available at Holmwell Software’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 Holmwell Software’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Holmwell Software 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, Holmwell Software discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Holmwell Software believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Holmwell Software, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Holmwell Software website and have supplied your email address, Holmwell Software 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 Holmwell Software and our products. 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. Holmwell Software takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Holmwell Software visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Holmwell Software’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Holmwell Software’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Holmwell Software, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Holmwell Software goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Holmwell Software may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Holmwell Software may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Holmwell Software’s sole discretion. Holmwell Software encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy.
