The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Harvard-Yenching website (http://harvard-yenching.org):
Information gathering
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site by identifying (1) which parts of our site are most heavily used, and (2) which portion of our audience comes from within the Harvard network. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that user sessions will be tracked, but the users will remain anonymous.
Our staff occasionally monitors search terms that users enter into the Harvard Search Engine (http://search.harvard.edu:8765/) but this tracking is never associated with individual users.
Use of information
The Harvard-Yenching staff uses the information gathered above to tailor site content to user needs, and to generate aggregate statistical reports. Web server logs are retained on a temporary basis and then deleted completely from our systems.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. The Harvard-Yenching Web site contains links to other independently run Web sites within the Harvard network and to some sites outside the "harvard-yenching.org" domain. The Harvard-Yenching Web site is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
