This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

• The Internet domain (for example, “xcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account, or “your school.edu” if you connect from a university) 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 web site;
• The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
• The date and time you access our site;
• The pages you visit; and
• If you linked to the ConnecticutHistory.org web site from another web site, the address of that web site.

We use this information for statistical purposes only to help us better understand how visitors use our site, such as numbers of visitors, how they navigate through the site, and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.

If You Send Us Personal Information

We may retain personal information you voluntarily provide to us, such as email address, name, and similar information in order to correspond with you, manage your account, or process a financial transaction.

Personally identifying information that you provide by e-mails or web forms will be used only for such purposes as are described at the point of collection (such as to send information to you or to respond to your questions or comments).
