Information Collected and Stored Automatically

The ICCIDD web server collects and saves only the default information customarily logged by World-Wide Web server software. Specifically, for each http request received, the date and time, the originating IP address, the object requested, and the completion status of the request is collected and saved.

We analyze these logs monthly to determine the traffic through the server during that month in hits, the number of pages served, and the level of demand for pages of interest during each month. We may also analyze accesses to particular pages to determine useage patterns by site visitors in aggregate.

If you choose to provide us with personal information in e-mail, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us get you the information you have requested. We do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. Moreover, we do not store any personal information independent of the e-mail message, create individual profiles with the information you provide, or give it to any third parties. We do not collect information for commercial marketing.
