Information collection on our website
Website visitors
Like most website operators, the website collects 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. The website’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how its visitors use the website. From time to time, the website may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
The website also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. The website only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying 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.
Gathering of personally-identifying information
Certain visitors to the website choose to interact with the website in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that the website gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we collect email addresses of those who wish to purchase the program. In each case, the website collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with the website. The website does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
