Website Visitors

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

The Sanctuary also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on http://The Sanctuary blog posts. The Sanctuary only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
