We encourage you to frequently check this page for any changes to our Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Website and/or continued provision of Personal Information to us will constitute your acceptance of any such changes and will be subject to the terms of the then-current Privacy Policy.

INFORMATION COLLECTED AND USE

 

Non-Personal Information

Like most websites, we may collect non-Personal Information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, the pages visited, and the date and time of each visitor request. This non-Personal Information does not identify you personally. Our purpose in collecting non-Personal Information is to better understand how our visitors use the Website and to consider potential improvements to the Website. From time to time, we may release non-Personal Information, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website.

​

IP Addresses

We may also collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on the Website. We only disclose logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose Personal Information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the Website. Your IP address may be used to help identify you as a returning visitor so that we can make your visit as useful as possible. We may investigate our log files to understand visitor usage patterns.

​
