It is Wylie Galt’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Wylie Galt 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. Wylie Galt’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Wylie Galt’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Wylie Galt may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Wylie Galt also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. Wylie Galt 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.
