The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices
for the Information Security and Privacy Homepage (http://www.security.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 Information Security and Privacy 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.
The Information Security and Privacy
Web site contains links to other independently run Web sites within
the Harvard network and to some sites outside the "security.harvard.edu"
domain. The Information Security and Privacy Web site is not responsible for the privacy practices
or the content of such Web sites.
