Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

We collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our websites. We only disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that personally-identifying information is used and disclosed as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the website where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to BoarBuster.com choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at boarbuster.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with us – by purchasing a BoarBuster™ System subscription service, for example, are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.

In each case, we collect such information on boarbuster.com only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with us. We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities. Please note that your e-mail address or any other submissions that you make on this site may contain your real name or other personally identifiable information and, as a result, such information may appear on this site.

Aggregated Statistics

We may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to our website. For instance, we may monitor the most popular webpages on boarbuster.com. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, we do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Animal Capture Data

Registered users of the website may voluntarily use the website to submit data on their successful hog capture activities.  The total number of hogs captured will be publically available on our website, and the individual hog capture reports will be provided to the Noble Research Institute, LLC.  The data provided in these reports will include the number of animals captured, the date on which they were captured, the zip code in which they were captured, and your email address.  The Noble Research Institute, LLC, which originally developed the BoarBuster system, is an independent, nonprofit institute dedicated to assisting farmers and ranchers, conducting plant science research and agricultural programs, and enhancing agricultural productivity.  The Noble Research Institute, LLC may use the anonymized hog capture data in their scientific research and publications, but your account’s email addresses will only be used to contact you in the event a clarification of your report is required.  Reporting your hog capture successes is not a requirement of continued use of the system, but by submitting data, you will help researchers understand and characterize the wild hog problem.

We disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of our employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available at the boarbuster.com website.
