Computer Tracking and Cookies
Our websites are not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Our site logs do generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff to provide better services to the public and may also be provided to others, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
Our websites also recognize the online site where a visitor "clicked-to-check" on the HipHop Database link program participant, but we cannot identify the visitor or the visitor's address. Site information is used to confirm participation in the HipHop Database program, and may be used to advise participants of the numbers of visitors who come to HipHop Database from their sites. No personal information is collected.
