Stumble It!
Welcome to Nutgraf, based in beautiful Bethesda, Maryland!
First of all, you can reach me via e-mail at thea [at] this domain.net – and I encourage you to write if you have any questions or concerns about this Web site or Privacy Policy.
Please read these terms and conditions before using the site or submitting any information. By using this site or any of its features – including submission forms, comments, blog, etc., you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.
This Web site and its contents are provided to you on an as-is basis, with no warranty or guarantee of any kind. Which isn’t to say that I’m not trying to do a nice job.
User Submitted Content
On some pages, I invite users to submit information, images, stories, text, messages or other media. The following terms apply to any user-submitted content.
- If you so select via a checkbox on the form, I may make your submission publicly available (identified by only your first name) on this Web site, in e-mail newsletters, and other media (including – for example – printed collateral, t-shirts, blogs, books, articles… whatever).
- I reserve the right to screen, modify, edit, delete or ignore your submission. I am the final authority on what is published on this site.
- This one’s really important: By submitting materials on this site, you grant me a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable license to use, copy, sublicense, modify, transmit, publicly perform, display, create derivative works of, host, index, cache, tag, encode, and/or adapt your User Materials in any and all media formats or channels, whether now known or hereafter devised, including, but not limited to, this Web site, other Web sites, in other media (should I be so lucky), without payment and without further consent or notice to you.
- You may not send me anything illegal, illicit, naughty, false, libelous, disingenuous, or just plain mean.
- This one’s also super important: You may only submit materials for which you have the copyright or other necessary rights and permission to distribute electronically. You may not violate, plagiarize, or infringe on the rights of third parties, including copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, privacy, personal, publicity, moral or proprietary rights. You promise and represent that you own or have all necessary rights and permissions to use, distribute and authorize me and my audience members/site users, to use and distribute anything you submit.
- I make every good-faith effort to ensure that all no submissions violate any laws, or the intellectual property or copyrights of others. If you believe something on this site is in violation, please don’t hesitate to write to me at: thea [at] this domain.net.
- If at any time you do not agree to abide by the terms and conditions as outlined here, please stop using this Web site.
- I cannot guarantee the accuracy or truthfulness of materials submitted to this site. I also cannot guarantee that any submitter acts in compliance with copyright and other laws and regulations.
- If you chose to submit anything to this site, you totally promise that you are 18 years of age or older, that you have permission to submit anything you submit, that there are no restrictions on this material or its use by me, and that it totally doesn’t infringe on anyone else’s rights.
Copyright
- Things (text, images and other media) posted on this site are protected by U.S. and international copyright laws.
- I make this material available to you for your personal, noncommercial use. You may not republish, take, abscond with, claim as your own, or use it in any way that is illegal, harmful or skeezy.
- Please cite nutgraf.net as the source of any quotes you opt to use from this site.
- Please send requests for permission for other uses to me at thea [at] this domain.net.
I do see the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with me directly via e-mail, or submit an e-mail address when commenting pages and blog posts. At this time, I do not – and will not – save, collect or share these e-mail addresses. Once in a while I may answer a direct question from a user using an e-mail address they provide, or provide a comment or note of appreciation.
I also collect e-mail addresses via the content submission form on this site through a third-party vendor. Users who opt-in via the checkbox on the form, may be contacted by me via e-mail, receive occasional e-mail newsletters, communications or offers. Users may unsubscribe at any time! Please use the handy link on any of the e-mails, or simply e-mail me directly at thea [at] this domain.net to be promptly and cheerfully removed from the list. Users who do not opt-in, may still be contacted directly by me with questions about their individual submissions. Under no circumstances will I share, trade, sell or rent your address. I take precautions to protect your privacy and will be happy to discuss this with any interested parties.
If my use of e-mail addresses changes, I will note it clearly in this policy. Any such change would only apply to addresses collected moving forward from the time of the policy update.
Site Stats
I also use a few traffic tracking services to collect aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit. Users may be identified by domain, but I really only use this info to distinguish between users and make hasty assumptions about how they use the site. The information I collect is used for internal review and then discarded, used to improve the content of the site. It may be disclosed when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation, to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing the site and any applicable laws or to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the site.
Cookies
I don’t set any personally. My ad-serving, form developing or traffic tracking partners may do so. These are the relationships – the links point to their privacy policies:
I encourage you to check their policies or send me any concerns at thea [at] this domain.net.
As a result of your visit to our site, ad server companies may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address and clickstream information. For further information, please see the Google Privacy Policy.
From time to time, I may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in this policy notice. If my information practices change at some time in the future I’ll post the policy changes to the Web site and will use for these new purposes only data collected from the time of the policy change forward. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at our Web site periodically.
If you think you have been misrepresented, that I have posted inaccurate information, or that this site is not following the stated policy, please do e-mail me! thea [at] this domain.net
