===I. PRIVACY POLICY=== | |||
Your privacy is critically important to Encyclopedia Westarctica. | |||
====Website Visitors==== | |||
Like most website operators, Encyclopedia Westarctica 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. Encyclopedia Westarctica’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Encyclopedia Westarctica’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Encyclopedia Westarctica may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. | |||
====Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information==== | |||
Certain visitors to Encyclopedia Westarctica’s websites choose to interact with Encyclopedia Westarctica in ways that require Encyclopedia Westarctica to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Encyclopedia Westarctica gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, Encyclopedia Westarctica collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Encyclopedia Westarctica. Encyclopedia Westarctica 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, such as submitting information for a new listing in our database. | |||
====Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information==== | |||
Encyclopedia Westarctica discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that need to know that information in order to process it on Encyclopedia Westarctica’s behalf or to provide services available at Encyclopedia Westarctica’s websites, and 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 Encyclopedia Westarctica’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Encyclopedia Westarctica 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, Encyclopedia Westarctica discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Encyclopedia Westarctica believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Encyclopedia Westarctica, third parties or the public at large. Encyclopedia Westarctica takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. | |||
====Business Transfers==== | |||
If Encyclopedia Westarctica, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Encyclopedia Westarctica 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 Encyclopedia Westarctica may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy. | |||

====Privacy Policy Changes==== | |||
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Encyclopedia Westarctica may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Encyclopedia Westarctica’s sole discretion. Encyclopedia Westarctica encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a WordPress.com account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change. | |||
===II. LEGAL DISCLAIMER=== | |||
Encyclopedia Westarctica is a service maintained out of an interest in micropatriology and sovereignty projects with the express purpose of increasing public knowledge and understanding about micronations, the micronational community, and alternative forms of government. No support or endorsement of any particular organization, project, group, movement, campaign and/or nation/state is intended, implied, or suggested. | |||
The primary administrator of Encyclopedia Westarctica, Travis McHenry, has had a longstanding involvement with numerous micronations having founded and managed Calsahara, Casbah, and Westarctica as well as briefly managing the Molossian provinces of Desert Homestead and New Antrim. | |||
Encyclopedia Westarctica takes no responsibility should anyone be inspired to commit themselves to acts of sedition or violence after visiting our website or downloading the Encyclopedia Westarctica mobile app. Neither Encyclopedia Westarctica, nor its staff, support, condone, or encourage acts of violence or sedition. | |||

The listing of a website for a particular organization, project, group, movement, campaign and/or micronation does not mean that the particular website listed is the definitive one for that particular organization, project, group, movement, campaign and/or micronation. Where possible, Encyclopedia Westarctica makes every attempt to verify the legitimacy of a project’s online presence as “Official” before labeling it as such. | |||
Encyclopedia Westarctica takes no responsibility for any offer, action, product, or service offered or taken by any party or parties represented by any website listed, nor for any content of any website for which a hypertext link is provided, or the URL for that site is listed. | |||
