In this case, the author
does not collect any personally identifiable information about you. Certain information pertaining to your session is collected automatically to better understand the traffic loads and security of this website. The
collected non-personally identifiable
items are the following:
i) the IP address of the
visitor
ii) the date and time of
the visit
iii) the domain name
associated with the IP address (e.g. if you access this website from
your school’s computer, we will collect the domain name
“yourschool.com”; if you do so from your company’s computer ,
the collected domain name will be “yourcompany.com”)
iv) the browser you
accessed this website with together with its software version
v) the operating system of
your computer and its version
vi) the urls you accessed
while browsing this site
vii) If you access
SudokuStories.com from a mobile or other device, we may collect a
unique device identifier assigned to that device ("UDID"), geolocation
data, or other transactional information for that device.
Collecting this type of
information is very common; for example, The New York Times. The Wall
Street Journal, NASA.gov and many other major
websites log some or all of the above items at the present
time.
1.2.
