The following is the privacy policy for this site (all pages starting with
www.ec3.org):
We do not use
cookies to collect information. Note: A cookie file contains unique
information a web site can use to track such things as passwords, lists of
pages you've visited, and the date when you last looked at a specific page
or to identify your session at a particular web site. A cookie is often
used in commercial sites to identify the items selected for a specific
shopping cart application.
If you send us
an electronic mail message with a question or comment that contains
personally identifying information, or fill out a form that e-mails us
this information, we will only use the personally-identifiable information
to respond to your request and analyze trends. We may redirect your
message to another member of the eC3 who is in a better position to
answer your question.
For site
management functions, information is collected for analysis and
statistical purposes. This information is not reported or used in any
manner that would reveal personally identifiable information, and will not
be released to any outside parties unless legally required to do so in
connection with law enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings.
We use Log
analysis tools to create summary statistics, which are used for purposes
such as assessing what information is of most interest, determining
technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or
problem areas. The following information is collected for this analysis:
-
User Client hostname - The hostname (or IP
address if DNS is disabled) of the user/client requesting access.
-
HTTP header, "user-agent" - The
user-agent information includes the type of browser, its version, and
the operating system it's running on.
-
HTTP header, "referer" - The referer
specifies the page from which the client accessed the current page.
-
System date - The date and time of the
user/client request.
-
Full request - The exact request the
user/client made.
-
Status - The status code the server returned
to the user/client.
-
Content length - The content length, in bytes,
of the document sent to the user/client.
-
Method - The request method used.
-
Universal Resource Identifier (URI) - The
location of a resource on the server.
-
Query string of the URI - Anything after the
question mark in a URI.
-
Protocol - The transport protocol and version
used.
eC3 conference registration forms that are filled out online will
contain a separate privacy policy with a link to the policy prominently
posted in the upper left hand corner of the form. This applies to
registration forms hosted by the eC3 Web site and for registration forms
that are hosted by third-party vendor sites.
