Website Visitors

Like most website operators, AlphaPrep 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. AlphaPrep’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how AlphaPrep’s visitors use its website. From time to time, AlphaPrep may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. AlphaPrep also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. AlphaPrep 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 and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to AlphaPrep’s websites choose to interact with AlphaPrep in ways that require AlphaPrep to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that AlphaPrep gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we, at a minimum, ask visitors who sign up for any account to use our Services to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with AlphaPrep – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, AlphaPrep collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with AlphaPrep. AlphaPrep does not disclose personally-identifying information beyond any of AlphaPrep’s use on the Services that would be reasonably foreseeable to the user submitted the personally-identifying information to AlphaPrep other than as described below.
