PRIVACY POLICY

SAGMILLING.COM collects only one type of information from anonymous people visiting the web site: the IP address of the originating request. Any computer that exists on the internet will have a unique IP address that will look something like this: 209.53.49.89. These addresses can often be resolved to backward to your internet service provider using a standard "host" or "whois" lookup to an name something like this: 00-a0-0c-12-b2-94.bconnected.net [209.53.49.89].

Why do we collect such arcane information? The first reason is to protect ourselves from hacker attacks. By being able to determine the ISP who hosts someone committing an attack, we are able to contact the ISP and take appropriate steps to ensure the hacker stops. A second reason is to help us identify who our audience is. Most host names give a clue whether they are a personal or a business account, and if they are personal, then what speed is the person running (residential broadband or higher speed office networks). Knowing the ratio of people who have high speed internet access allows us to justify putting more complex information on the web site. If a large proportion of visitors are using dial-up access in Africa, for example, then we need to keep our file sizes small.

Cookies and third party information

Cookies are not used by SAGMILLING.COM unless you are a registered user who logs in to one of the extra services on our web pages. These cookies are used for administering the level of permission that these non-anonymous visitors have on the website, and certain tools allow those registered users to store preferences (for example, their standard sieve series) so they don't need to re-enter redundant data each time they log in.
