WEBSITE VISITORS

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

Paper Terrace also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blog posts. Paper Terrace 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.

GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

Certain visitors to Paper Terrace choose to interact with Paper Terrace in ways that require Paper Terrace to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Paper Terrace gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Paper Terrace updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Paper Terrace collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Paper Terrace. Paper Terrace 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.
