Xamuel.com Privacy Policy
Goooogle is encouraging webmasters to create privacy policies for their websites, pages which outline any data collection practices and those sorts of issues on the site. So, here’s the privacypolicy for Xamuel.com.
Xamuel.com monitors webtraffic using the Google Analytics package. This information will not be shared with any outside parties. I don’t collect or monitor IP addresses, though our host, bluehost.com, might. Basically, no private info about my readers will ever fall into any third party’s hands.
I use Google Adsense, for contextual ad placement, and I’ve heard at some point they’re going to start tracking what things people click and look at so they can customize the ads not just based on the webpage but also on the reader. This probably doesn’t apply to you anyway, though: I only show ads to first-time readers coming in from the search engines. Regular readers will not be shown ads.
As I already mentioned, I use Google Analytics to analyze my traffic. Mostly I use that to see what kinds of keywords are leading people here from the serps, which helps me get a feel for what you all are interested in. When you start a large blog like this, you’re surprised how certain articles really soar which you didn’t expect, and others tank. For example, my article A Modern Version of the Lord’s Prayer, I wrote that in like fifteen minutes while I was exhausted after a long day of registering voters, and it gets lots of new eyeballs. On the other hand, I put a lot of time and effort into writing Openness, which I was hoping would be a big success. It got some social bookmarking patronage, but it barely pulls in anything from the engines 
The GoogleAnalytics javascript I host, which allows GA to give me traffic reports, currently appears to issue three cookies. Probably so they can determine which browser is “new” and which is not, or something of that nature. I don’t actually know for sure. All I know is at the end of the day I get lots of neat charts and graphs and numbers 
Don’t worry though, whatever it is, I never see any private info from anyone like IP Addresses or anything.
Hope that clears up all the suspense you no doubt had about whether or not I collect private info. Now here are some articles you can enjoy…
