Information
we collect
IP
Addresses
When your web browser requests a web page from a computer on the Internet,
it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send
the information. This address is called the "IP address."
(IP stands for "Internet protocol.") For most users accessing
the Internet from a dial-up Internet service provider (ISP), the IP
address will be different every time you log on. PDA Center logs IP
addresses for systems administration purposes. IP addresses are logged
to track a user's session. This gives us an idea of which parts of our
site users are visiting. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable. This means that a users session will be tracked, but the
user will be anonymous.
Cookies
A cookie is a very small file on your computer that contains information
about your visit to PDA Center. You can configure whether you do want
to receive cookies, do not want to, or want to be alerted whenever one
is set. If you have your cookies turned off, it will affect the personalization
settings. For example, if your cookies are turned off, you will not
be able to use PDA Center's Note Pad, Calendar, Address Book, or Forums.
We at PDA Center cannot see the information on your cookies from us
unless you specifically submit them to us. Also, web sites cannot read
cookies from other web sites.
