| G. | IP addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to temporarily identify a person's computer when the computer is connected Internet. Web servers identify specific computers by their IP address and when a specific page is requested from a website, its servers record the computer's IP address. An IP address is assigned to an Inland Internet user when the user logs in. The assignment of an IP address is generally accomplished anonymously, but under normal operation, such when sending email or accessing a restricted web page that requires a login to be accessed, a user's login or email address may become associated with a given IP address. Such information is used by Inland Internet for administrative purposes and is not released to third parties except as specified elsewhere in this policy. An IP address may be manually cross referenced to identify who is using an IP at a particular time in order to evaluate potential security related activity. Aggregate information, which may include the pages accessed by an IP address or specific information volunteered by users, may be collected by Inland Internet or by third parties through various methods and may be used for the purposes of system administration, to provide aggregate data to advertisers, or for other purposes. |
