WEBSITE VISITORS

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

Evanston North Shore Bird Club also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on articles published. Evanston North Shore Bird Club 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 blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
