Like most website operators, Oak Park Art League 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. Oak Park Art League’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Oak Park Art League’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Oak Park Art League may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Oak Park Art League also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on articles published.
