Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Durga Research 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. Momentum Publishing Corp’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Blog Starter visitors use its website. From time to time, Durga Researchmay release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Durga Researchalso collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on The Blog Starter site. Durga Researchonly 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.
