WEBSITE VISITORS

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

Ojai Raptor Center also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on articles published. Ojai Raptor Center 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.

PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Certain visitors to Ojai Raptor Center’s websites choose to interact with Ojai Raptor Center in ways that require Ojai Raptor Center to gather personally-identifying information.

Those who engage in transactions with Ojai Raptor Center — by registering for programs, for example — are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Ojai Raptor Center collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Ojai Raptor Center. Ojai Raptor Center 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.
