When you visit any Web site,
certain personal information about you can be collected automatically.For
every visitor, we automatically collect and temporarily store
the following information about your computer and your visit:
- Your computer's
Internet Protocol (IP) address. (An IP address is a number
that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever

princeton.edu if you are connecting from Princeton University's
domain).

time you arrived at our site and how long you spent on the
site.

you visited.
We occasionally analyze the
log files to determine which files are most requested. Our
logging is passive; we do not use technologies such as cookies
to maintain any information on users. If you just browse through
our site, read pages, or download information, that is the
only information we collect. We use this information to measure
the number of visitors to the different sections of our site
