Our Commitment to Your Privacy!
The Mitchell Reel Museum (hereinafter referred to as “Our Website”), is committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. It is intended to describe how we use and process your personal information. Please note that by visiting and using Our Website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
What information is Our Website gathering about its visitors and how is it being used?
Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g. earthlink.net) and an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.100). When a visitor requests a page from within Our Website, our web servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to them, as follows:
-
The IP address of the site that may have referred you.
-
Your IP address.
-
The web page from which you linked to us.
-
The product identifier for version and make of browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 7.0).
-
The operating system that you are running (e.g. Mac OS, Windows, Linux).
-
Search words or terms that are passed from a search engine (e.g. Google, Yahoo, or Bing).
There is nothing unusual, in our view, about the information just described, and the practice of collecting this data has been generally standardized by many web servers today.
The purpose of this information is actually two-fold. One, Our Website has found it advantageous to examine visitor traffic in its aggregate so that we can ensure maximum compatibility for the various browsers and operating systems that visit our site. By analyzing these and other visitation patterns, referring URLs and search engine terms, we can strategically enhance our exposure on the Internet.
