Privacy Statement

Here at Chiff & Fipple ( http://www.chiffandfipple.com and http://chiffboard.mati.ca and all pages under those domains) our intention is to maintain your privacy.  We will not sell or knowingly distribute your email address or any other personal or identifying information about you.

To our knowledge, merely visiting and viewing the chiffandfipple.com website does not cause any information about you to be sent out by your computer, or collected by us.  The only thing we learn about you when you visit chiffandfipple.com is that you like whistles and are probably a bit weird.  

However, there are some ways you can voluntarily disseminate your personal information and/or identifying information.  If you leave a message on the message boards (http://www.chiffboard.mati.ca), you should regard these as public bulletin boards, viewable by anyone.  This is because they are.

Chiff & Fipple is no way affiliated with the FritoLay company.

If you subscribe to the Chiff & Fipple newsletter, you do so by joining the Chiff & Fipple group via bCentral's "ListBuilder" service .  bCentral is the service we use to create, add to, and maintain the email list for the newsletter.  It is also the means by which we send out the newsletter.  We have no control over bCentral as a company.   Lord knows we try.  But, bCentral is owned by Microsoft and, to date, they have resisted our overtures to purchase their little company.  

bCentral's privacy policy is at:

We do not obtain the results from your most recent eye examination nor do we know what you last bought at Home Depot.  We don't know your aunt's tax situation.  Therefore, we are in no position to share that information with anyone.

Since we are not health care providers, we do not come under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).  However, just to be on the safe side, here's a link to the law.

Finally, if you email me about whistles or any remotely related topic, I reserve the right to include your message, in whole or edited, in the newsletter.  I usually will include your full name and some idea of roughly where you live.  I would not normally include your email address without permission, but I may screw up occasionally and do so by accident.  If so, I will blame myself. 

We reserve the right to use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. It also allows us to deal with abusive visitors.  

There's an animated image of gorillas grooming each other on the right.  We hope you enjoy it.

Our site's  Message Board asks users to give us contact information (such as name and email address). We use customer contact information from the Message Board internally and do not deliberately provide it to others.  However, we do not maintain security on our websites (mostly because we don't know how) and so cannot guarantee that information will not be accessed by others.  Neither the website nor the Message Board are located on a secure server. This means that information collected is not encoded before being sent. While we have received no reports of any problems, it is possible that someone could intercept and access this information in transit.  Someone like that technical guy on Alias

This site contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other Web sites. We do sort of feel responsible.

Public Forums

This site makes a forum available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
