D.L. Dykes Foundation Privacy Policy
Because D.L. Dykes Foundation respects and is committed to protecting your privacy, we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how we process and use your personal information. We will only use your personal information in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, newsletters, discussion forums and lists and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by D.L. Dykes Foundation, hereafter the D.L. Dykes Foundation Network. The following discloses our Privacy Policy.

What information are we collecting and how are we collecting it?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol Address" [ IP address ]. When a visitor requests a page from any web site within the D.L. Dykes Foundation Network, our web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of the D.L. Dykes Foundation Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. [See also Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties? ] We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record e-mail addresses of the visitors.
