The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site (hul.harvard.edu/rmo).
Information gathering
Our web server software generates logfiles of the IP addresses of computers that access this web site and of what files they access. These web server logs are retained on a temporary basis and then deleted completely from our systems.
We also collect information through the sign-up form for RMO workshops.
Use of information
We use your IP address and files you access 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 also use this information to tailor site content to user needs, and to generate aggregate statistical reports. At no time do we disclose site usage by individual IP addresses.
We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that user sessions may be analyzed, but the users will remain anonymous. We also do not use cookies.
The information we gather through the workshop sign-up form is used to prepare for workshops, provide reminders and information to attendees, and allow us to gather information about which offices are using our services. Names and contact information for attendees from HMS, HSDM, and HBS may also be provided to records management personnel at those schools. The information is not disclosed for any other purpose.
