INFORMATION COLLECTED BY
OnlineDisc.com WEB SITES
OnlineDisc.com Web Sites gather information in two ways: (1)
indirectly (for example, through our site's technology), and (2) directly (for
example, when you, the site visitor, voluntarily provide information on various
pages).
Information Collected Indirectly
OnlineDisc.com Web Sites indirectly collects a variety of information pertaining to use of its Web
sites. One type of this information is that which is related to site traffic
volume and patterns, such as the number of visitors to a given site or page on a
daily basis. This type of indirectly collected information is gathered through
various means, such as an IP address, which is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers, the
computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your
computer by its IP address. When you visit a page from OnlineDisc.com Web Sites, our servers log
your computer's IP address.
Only designated administrators can access this information,
and it is used only for administrative and planning purposes to meet the needs
of our users, such as to improve the content of the sites and to customize the
content and/or layout of the site for individuals or groups of users.
