When you connect to our website, our web server may record the numerical Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using, information about your browser and operating system, date and time of access, and the internet address and page which linked you to our site.

Our staff monitors search terms that users enter into our Search Engine, but this tracking is never associated with individual users.
