section marker icon    Can I link to your site?

Yes, please do. We welcome non-commercial links to www.caslon.com.au and associated sites such as Ketupa.net and Analysphere.com.

As a courtesy, we would like to know that a link is being made - why not simply send an email to ketupa at caslon dot com dot au?

section marker icon    what about deep-linking?

It's ok to link to the home page or to a subsidiary page.

section marker icon    Can I frame your site?

No, please don't.

If you do, you must not obscure identifying information or otherwise lead a viewer to believe that the pages from this site are the property of another entity.

section marker icon    I want to copy text published on your site

Australian and international intellectual property law allows limited copying, in certain circumstances, without the permission of the author/copyright owner. 

In general, feel free to reproduce 'non-substantial' extracts from material published on this website as long as copying is being done on a non-commercial basis and you clearly identify Caslon Analytics as the author and cite our URL.

We have responded to particular requests by formally authorising reproduction of substantial extracts or whole pages: contact us if you have a particular need. We have also taken action in Australia and overseas against individuals and businesses who have ripped us off.

Contact us and we'll discuss how we can meet your requirements.

section marker icon    I've heard that copyright is dead. Why do you bother?

It is alive and well; indeed gurus such as Lawrence Lessig argue that evolving technologies and intellectual property law will provide a higher level of protection for much online material than for "dried tree-flakes encased in dead cow".

The Intellectual Property guide on the Caslon Analytics site provides pointers to major Australian and overseas developments regarding copyright, patents and trademarks in the digital environment.

section marker icon    Can I make a hardcopy?

You may prefer to read from a printout rather than from the screen. If so, please feel free to make a single copy for personal use. 

section marker icon    what data do you collect about my visit to the site?

We do not engage in systematic data profiling and do not attempt to identify individual users/IP addresses.  

Our collection of data varies; essentially we collect and analyse basic web metrics information - such as whether particular pages are being accessed, whether traffic is coming from dot au domains or overseas, the ratio of .gov to .com to .org traffic - so that we can improve this site. 

section marker icon    who gets to see the data?

Our privacy statement makes a commitment about collection, storage, use and disposal of personal data.

Access to information about use of the site is restricted to Caslon Analytics personnel and contractors subject to an agreement to adhere to our policy.

We don't disclose or publish information that identifies individual machines or sub-groupings of addresses without consent.

We don't sell or otherwise provide profiling data or mailing lists to other businesses, academic institutions or non-profit organisations.

Although the internet is not a sewer thick with cybercriminals and anarchists, breaches of law do occur online.  We accordingly reserve the right to gather more extensive information in dealing with damage to the site or where there is reason to believe a breach of the law is being or has been committed.  Where necessary such information will be disclosed to relevant authorities in Australia and overseas.

section marker icon    does your privacy policy include storage and disposal?

Our electronic and hardcopy records are stored in a secure environment.

Disposal reflects Australian records management industry 'best practice' standards.

section marker icon    what about email and mailing lists?

We don't sell or give away email addresses. If you contact us with a query you can be sure we won't incorporate the address in a database for subsequent sale.  

Similarly, we don't spam.

Like many businesses, we maintain databases of professional contacts and customer addresses.  Our privacy policy is concerned with information - we thus give the same protection to snailmail and electronic lists.

section marker icon    can I correct data about myself?

By all means. If your address is wrong, correction is strongly welcomed.  

We don't engage in data matching about purchases - we're not that sort of business.  Unlike parts of government or the finance sector we don't require information about whether you own your own home, have a criminal record, eat muesli or favour dogs over cats.  That means we don't collect much information of a personal nature.
