Types of Information we collect
Non-Personal Information
Non-personal information is data about usage and service operation that is not directly associated with a specific personal identity. Path to Papers may collect and analyse non-personal information to evaluate how visitors use the Path to Papers’ web site.
Aggregate Information
Path to Papers may gather aggregate information, which refers to information your computer automatically provides to us and that cannot be tied back to you as a specific individual. Examples include referral data (the web sites you visited just before and just after our site), the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. As an IP address can also be interpreted as personal information we include more guidance about it under the Personal Information section below.
Personal Information
Personal information is information that is associated with your name or personal identity. The only personal information this site collects is your IP address. This is used in aggregate (see above). However because this IP address could be used as personal information we have included more information on its use here too.
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. For example, when you request a page from one of our sites, our servers log your IP address to create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns and for purposes of system administration. If you are uncomfortable with your IP address being tracked you may choose to use another computer – e.g. an internet cafe and / or a friends computer.
Log Files
Every time you request or download a file from the web site, Path to Papers may store data about these events and your IP address in a log file. Path to Papers may use this information to analyse trends, administer the website, track users’ movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use or for other business purposes.
