Automattic may share information collected about Site visitors in the limited circumstances spelled out below:
- Subsidiaries, Employees, and Independent Contractors: Automattic may disclose Site visitor information to their subsidiaries, their employees, and individuals who are our independent contractors that need to know the information in order to help them provide their services to us, or to process the information on their behalf. Automattic require their subsidiaries, employees, and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Notice for information about visitors that they share with them.
- Third Party Vendors: Automattic may share Site visitor information with third party vendors who need to know this information in order to provide their services to them.

- To Protect Rights, Property, and Others: Automattic may disclose Site visitor information when they believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Automattic, us, third parties, or the public at large. For example, if they have a good faith belief that there is an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, they may disclose information related to the emergency without delay.
- Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of their business by another company, or in the unlikely event that Automattic goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, Site visitor information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Notice would continue to apply to Site visitor information and the party receiving this information may continue to use this information, but only consistent with this Privacy Notice.
- Information Shared Publicly: Information that visitors choose to make public is disclosed publicly. That means, of course, that information like visitor comments and “likes” are all available to others, including information about the visitor that is displayed in connection with a comment or “like” (such as a visitor’s WordPress.com username and Gravatar). Automattic provide a “firehose” stream of public data (including comments) from Sites to provide that data to firehose subscribers, who may view and analyze the content, but do not have rights to re-publish it publicly. Public information may also be indexed by search engines or used by third parties.
How Long Visitors Informations are kept
If Automattic is not legally required to keep it, they generally discard information about Site visitors when no longer needed for the purposes for which they collect and use it on behalf of us — those purposes which are described in the “How We Use Visitor Information” section above.
For example, Automattic keep the web server logs that record information about a visitor to ctimediation — such as the visitor’s IP address, browser type, and operating system — for approximately 30 days. Automattic retain the logs for this period of time in order to, among other things, investigate issues if something goes wrong on a user’s Site.
As another example, when a Site visitor views this Site, Automattic use its IP address in order to update our Site Stats with information about his visit, like what country he is in. Automattic keep that IP address for approximately 30 days to give them time to calculate our monthly Site Stats and address any issues with those counts.
