Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Bars For Us 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. Bars For Us’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Bars For Us’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Bars For Us may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Bars For Us also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Bars For Us does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
