ENY/ACRL Web Site Privacy Policy

We make no effort to identify public users of our site. No identifying data is disclosed to any third party for any purpose.

As is typical, our web service provider logs http requests to our server. This means that we know the originating IP (e.g. 18.29.0.1) address of a user agent requesting a URL. We also know the Referer and User-Agent information accompanied with an HTTP request. We do not log the specific identity of visitors. We occasionally analyze the log files to determine which files are most requested and the previous site or user agent which prompted the request. Our logging is passive; we do not use technologies such as cookies to maintain any information on users.

Logged information may be kept indefinitely as administrative and research material; it is not disclosed outside of the membership of ENY/ACRL. Aggregate (completely non-identifying) statistics generated from these logs may be reported as part of research results.

Any questions regarding the web site and the privacy policy can be directed to the Communications Chair of ENY/ACRL, Pat Hults, at hultsp@rpi.edu.
