This statement applies to interactions with the AR&D web servers. It does not apply to any other sites nor email sent to AR&D staff or lists. Any questions regarding the web site and the privacy policy can be directed to nick@nickara.com. Email interactions are guided by general net-etiquette conventions.

As is typical, we log http requests to our server. This means that we know the originating IP (e.g. 118.129.20.1) address of an agent requesting a URL. We do not log the specific identity of visitors. We occasionally analyze the log files to determine which files are most requested and the previous site or user agent which prompted the request. Our logging is passive; we do not use technologies such as cookies to maintain any information on users.

We also log requests to our search, cgi, and list maintenance services. This data is only used for administration and researching the efficacy of our tools.

Logged information is not disclosed outside of AR&D host site personnel. Aggregate (completely non-identifying) statistics generated from these logs may be reported as part of research results. The logs are permanently archived as raw research material and for the purposes of maintaining, administering and improving the AR&D web site.
