MSH Architecture Associates does not collect
any personal information from our website.
However, we do utilize Net IQ's Webtrends
Enterprise Server for website demographics and
traffic reports. The principles enumerated below
explain how data is collected and utilized, and
how your personal information is protected. In
addition, all aggregate anonymous data stored on
our server is deleted twice a year so that no
site acquired information is permanently retained
by MSH.
Privacy Principles (from
Net IQ Webtrends Privacy Policy)
Principle 1 - No
Collection of Personal Information
WebTrends does not collect any personal
information such as names, ages, phone numbers,
addresses or e-mail addresses from visitors to
WebTrends web sites.
Principle 2 - No
Combination of Browsing and Web Traffic
Information with Personal Information
Since WebTrends does not collect any personal
information from website visitors, we do not
combine traffic analysis information with
personal information such as name, age, phone
number or mailing address.
Principle 3 - No
Aggregation of Individual Visitor Traffic
Patterns across Multiple Sites
WebTrends does not collect individual profile
information for visitors across multiple sites
and does not aggregate information from any other
sources about browsing patterns of individual
visitors across multiple sites.
Principle 4 - Collection
of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
WebTrends collects anonymous visitor information
like IP addresses, browser types (such as
Internet Explorer or Netscape), referring pages,
pages visited and time spent on the web site.
WebTrends collects this non-personally
identifiable information for the following
purposes: (1) to provide anonymous statistical
analysis of web page traffic patterns (2) to help
us improve our services.
Principle 5 - Anonymous
Use of Cookies
WebTrends uses cookies only for more accurate
anonymous traffic analysis such as tracking the
time/date of the visit, the page viewed, the
referrer, transaction information for eCommerce
pages. The cookie information does not include
personal data such as name, age, phone number, e-mail
address or mailing address. In addition,
WebTrends does not link cookies to personal data
such as name, age, phone number, e-mail address
or mailing address. As we do not build a database
of individual visitors, the data that we do
collect is never stored in any individual user
profile; the data collected serves only to update
aggregate counts allowing us to monitor traffic
on our site. Most browsers are
initially set up to accept cookies. If you would
prefer, you can set your browser to reject
cookies.
Principle 6 - No
Individual Profiling
WebTrends does not create individual profiles of
visitors. Unlike other tracking services we do
not have a database of individual profiles of
each visitor. WebTrends collects data in
aggregate form and data is not recorded or stored
about individual visitors.
