Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Web. We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers and business partners, and to audit the use of our site. When users request pages from our sites, our servers log the guest’s IP address. In most cases IP addresses are not linked to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user’s session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us, except where blog posts are concerned. WordPress, our website platform associates IP addresses with the names and email addresses of those contributing comments in a public disccussion. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our blog rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
