Website Visitors
Like most website operators, ITHACA partnership 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. ITHACA’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use the website. ITHACA uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction and for statistical reasons. ITHACA uses this data to determine the number of people using the website, to better understand how they find and use ITHACA web pages and to see their journey through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to ITHACA. Computers’ IP address are anonymized by GA services and cannot be used to personally identify the user. ITHACA also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. ITHACA 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 commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
