About
The TEFLWatch Files is my personal blog. Originally slanted towards education, it reflects my experiences and my new career now that I am back home in the US. You’ll find informative articles about business, real estate and making a positive change in your life.

Privacy Policy:
Effective Date: July 18, 2008
TEFLWatch is committed to helping you, providing information and giving you solutions. Your privacy is very important and it’s why we have developed this privacy policy. This Privacy Policy applies to the TEFLWatch site (”this website”), which is located at www.teflwatch.org.
If you choose to leave a comment on this website, we will collect and store the email address that you provide along with any name you provide and your IP address. No other personally identifiable information of internet users visiting this website is collected by/on this website.* However, note that it is sometimes possible, under certain circumstances, to determine with a high degree of accuracy who used a certain Internet Protocol address at a particular time (we are not able to do so, but, for example, law enforcement agencies are able and entitled to do so in some cases). Consequently, an Internet Protocol address may be considered potentially personally identifiable information in some cases. When you visit this website, your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox) sends and receives data to/from the server software, Apache. The server software automatically records some of the information that your internet browser sends to it or that the server software otherwise obtains automatically in connection with your web request. For instance, it records the type of your browser, browser language, type of operating system, referring website, Internet Protocol address, and the date and time of your request. We use some of the information to analyze attacks on our server (and abuse of our website) and to help ensure that they will not be successful if they repeat. We also use some of the information when testing this website’s functionality (e.g., we determine the percentage of users who use a particular version of an operating system). Furthermore, we use some of the information to evaluate the success of this website in various countries (e.g. by determining the average number of visitors from a particular country per day) and when optimizing or testing our website (e.g., we determine the most used types of browsers, which we then use to test our website and for which we optimize it). We will not disclose the information to any third party without your consent, unless we need to do so in order to prevent (or to facilitate analysis of) attacks on our server, or abuse of this website, and/or unless we are required to do so by law.
This website reads and writes cookies containing solely anonymous traffic data, which we use to evaluate the success of this website (e.g. by determining the average number of returning visitors per day and the average frequency of repeated visits per visitor). Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores locally for websites you visit. You can prevent cookies from being stored/sent/received by configuring your internet browser (for example, in Internet Explorer, select Tools > Internet Options > Privacy, or in Firefox, select Tools > Options > Privacy). This website displays advertising from various providers including Google Adsense (which are located within so-called iframes causing your browser to download ad content directly from Google servers) and, therefore, Google or other third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your internet browser and/or they may be using so-called web beacons to collect information, in the course of ads being displayed on this website. For more information, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy, which is available on the Google website.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. However, if we do, most changes will be minor. Each version of this Privacy Policy is identified at the top of this page by its effective date.
