Website Visitors

Like most website operators, WebGrids.com 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. WebGrids.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WebGrids.com’s visitors use its website. From time to time, WebGrids.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

WebGrids.com also uses third party tracking-utility partners who use log files to collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. WebGrids.com does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

In each case, WebGrids.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WebGrids.com. WebGrids.com 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.
