Data Collection
P3P policies declare the data they collect in groups (also referred to as
"statements"). This policy contains 3 data groups. The data practices of each
group will be explained separately.
Group "Web Server Statistics"
We collect the following information:
- Click-stream data
- HTTP protocol elements
- User's interaction with a page or resource
- Search terms
This data will be used for the following purposes:
- Completion and support of the current activity.
- Web site and system administration.
- Research and development.
This data will be used by ourselves and our agents.
The data in this group has been marked as non-identifiable. This means that
there is no reasonable way for the site to identify the individual person this
data was collected from.
The following explanation is provided for why this data is collected:
Our Web Server(s) record standard http logfile data according to the
version and type of Web Server in use. Typically we use Apache web servers
and the standard log file formats that are available with that software. The
data is only used internally within our organization to track such
information as the number of visitors, the sources of visitors, the pages
visited, the referral sites, the search terms used to find our site and
other such information as is available using such packages as webalyzer (web
site log file analyzer and reporting software)
Group "Online Survey Respondents"
At the user's option, we will collect the following data:
- Online contact information
- Survey Data
This data will be used for the following purposes:
- Contacting visitors for the promotion of Library services or programs. The user must
opt-in to this usage.
- For follow-up surveys (on an opt-in basis)
This data will be used by the Library only.
The following explanation is provided for why this data is collected:
We collect answers to questions of the online surveys. Users can
opt-in to provide their email address, which is strictly used to contact the
user for subsequent follow-up surveys. We also request their Postal/Zip
code, provided by users on an opt-in basis. This information is used to
determine the proximity of users to various Library locations. The
users are also capable (although they are not asked or required to do so) of
providing other details in a comments section of the online surveys. We keep
all potentially personal information in tables that are separate from the
survey data. We protect the email addresses from use by anyone except
ourselves, and strictly for the purposes outlined above.
Cookies
Cookies are a technology which can be used to provide you with tailored
information from a Web site. A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can
send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. You can set your
browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide
whether to accept it.
We do not make use of HTTP cookies.
Compact Policy Summary
P3P compact policies are a form of a P3P policy which summarizes what the
policy says about cookies. Since this policy does not mention any use of
cookies, there is no compact policy form of this policy.
A policy mentions use of cookies if the data element "HTTP Cookies" is in any
group in the policy. This data element is found under "Dynamic data".
Policy Evaluation
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 will evaluate this policy's compact policy
whenever it is used with a cookie. The actions IE will take depend on what
privacy level the user has selected in their browser (Low, Medium, Medium High,
or High; the default is Medium. In addition, IE will examine whether the
cookie's policy is considered satisfactory or unsatisfactory, whether the cookie
is a session cookie or a persistent cookie, and whether the cookie is used in a
first-party or third-party context. This section will attempt to evaluate this
policy's compact policy against Microsoft's stated behavior for IE6.
Note: this evaluation is currently experimental and should not be
considered a substitute for testing with a real Web browser.
Satisfactory policy: this compact policy is considered
satisfactory
according to the rules defined by Internet Explorer 6. IE6 will accept cookies
accompanied by this policy under the High, Medium High, Medium, Low, and Accept
All Cookies settings.
