Site Privacy Statement
This is not a secure server, no web server is. Therefore the minimum information about you will be collected.
Source ip-address logging
- the site obviously does log source ip-addresses in the web server logs, these are not publicly available as long as you are a well behaved user, these are retained until the log files roll over
- ip-addresses are also stored in a database table for active sessions, all that is stored is the ip-address and the section of the site you are viewing; this is to ensure the website serves the correct menus for the section of the site you are viewing without' the need to give you an additiona cookie. These are removed from the database after an inactivity period
- any obvious site hacking attempts will have the ip-addresses made publicly available and are listed for users of the site on the blacklisted sites page. I would encourage users of this site to themselves block the ip-addresses recorded there
- and of course external ISPs will be recording your ip-address
