The Information We Collect and How We Use It

WEBSITE
When visiting our website to only browse through and read pages, our website automatically gathers and stores certain information. This information does not identify you personally. Rather, we use this information to help us make our website more useful to visitors, to learn about the number of visitors to our website and understand the types of technology our visitors use.

Only the following information about your visit is automatically collected and stored:

  • The Internet domain (for example, “youragency.gov” if you connect from a government domain, “yourschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain, or “xcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our website;
  • The type of browser and operating system used to access our website;
  • The date and time you access our website;
  • The pages you visit; and
  • If you linked to our Web site from another website, the address of that website.

The logs may be preserved indefinitely, and they may be used to prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the data on our servers.

We accomplish this with Google Analytics, the standard tool for website metrics that is used by the majority of websites you visit on the Internet.

EMAIL
Willow Creek Conservancy collects your name, phone number and email address if you choose to provide it via the site’s Contact Us form. We use this information to reply to your inquiry, and it is stored in our website system and may be used in the future to share news and information about the Willow Creek Conservancy.
