TeaDump.com and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested. TeaDump.com uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website.

Sharing Your Information
We neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone. We will share your personal information only as described below.
TeaDump Personnel and authorized consultants and/or contractors may have access to user information if necessary in the normal course of business. In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if TeaDump.com, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred. We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of TeaDump.com, our employees, our users, or others.
