Privacy Policy for the UIS Homepage
The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices
for the UIS Homepage (http://www.uis.harvard.edu/):
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 UIS staff uses the information gathered above 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. 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.
Contacting UIS
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, the practices of
this site, or your dealings with this site, you can contact:

The UIS home page contains
links to other independently run Web sites within the Harvard network and
to some sites outside the "uis.harvard.edu" domain. UIS is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
