Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Zwerfdrift 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. Zwerfdrift’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Zwerfdrift’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Zwerfdrift may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Zwerfdrift 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 are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
