This policy applies to the handling of personal information that is collected via the MSBA website (the “Website”).
Logging of Site Visitors
Like most web servers, the MSBA web server automatically collects certain information about visitors to the Website. The MSBA web server only logs the IP address of visitors. Depending on the naming standards of your internet service provider (ISP), this information may identify who you are. You may wish to contact your ISP for more information. The data logged by our web server is analyzed for trends and statistics. We use this information to make the Website more useful to you. This data is then aggregated. This means we make no attempt to link this automatically collected information to your identity.
