More Information
This section explains how the Johns Hopkins University/Center
for Communication Programs (JHU/CCP) will handle information
we learn about you from your visit to our website.
The information we receive depends upon what you do
when visiting our site.
-
If you visit our site to read or download information:
We collect and store only the following information
about you: the name of the domain from which
you access the Internet (for example, aol.com,
if you are connecting from an America Online
account, or iowa.edu if you are connecting
from the University of Iowa's domain); the
date and time you access our site, the Internet
address of the website from which you linked
directly to our site, if any; and which pages
you view while you visit our web site.
We use the information we collect to count
the number of visitors to the different sections
of our site, find out what information is
the most viewed, and so help us make our web
site more useful to visitors.
This gathering and storing of information is
separate from the activity described as monitoring
in our Security Notice.
-
If you identify yourself by sending us an e-mail
message or a completed order form:
If you decide to send us personally identifying
information, we will use that personally identifying
information to respond to your comment or
suggestion and to count the number of people
sending us comments.
We want to be very clear: We will not obtain
personally identifying information about you
when you visit our site unless you choose
to provide such information to us.
The majority of this site does NOT use the "cookies"
that some websites use to gather and store information
about your visits to their sites.
Cookies are essentially tokens of information, such
as preferences and passwords, which some web servers
collect from you when you access them. Those data
are stored on your hard drive and not on the web site's
server. Whenever you visit a "cookie" site again,
the server looks for its cookie on your hard drive
and, if found, then reads the information it stored
there. Cookies generally are stored in your browser's
directory or folder in a file named cookie.txt (MagicCookie
on a Macintosh).
The Photoshare database includes a shopping cart feature
that allows users to select and save photos for up
to seven days. The shopping cart uses a cookie to
store information about saved photos on the user's
computer. After seven days the file is automatically
deleted. No information about the individual user
is collected or saved by JHU/CCP, the Media/Materials
Clearinghouse or Photoshare.
For SITE SECURITY purposes and to ensure that this
service remains available to all users, JHU/CCP’s
computer system employs software programs to monitor
network traffic and identify unauthorized attempts
to upload or change information, or otherwise cause
damage.
Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change
information on this service are strictly prohibited
and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and
Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure
Protection Act.
