Ithaka is committed to protecting the privacy of the users of its website. To better inform you of our policy concerning user privacy, we have adopted the following guidelines.

The Information Ithaka Collects

Ithaka collects no personally identifiable information. Thus, you can perform all of the functions on the Ithaka website without providing Ithaka with any personally identifiable information. By visiting the Ithaka site, however, you necessarily provide us with an IP address, which does not identify you personally, but enables Ithaka to communicate with your computer while you are visiting the site. If you send an email to us at info@ithaka.org or any other email address provided on the Ithaka website, you also necessarily provide us with an email address to which we can reply.

Use of the Information

We use the information you provide to facilitate your use of the Ithaka website, to respond to your inquiries about Ithaka, to improve the design of our site, for system administration and troubleshooting purposes, and to track and analyze site usage.

Security

We have physical, electronic, and managerial measures in place to prevent unauthorized access to the above user information. We do not, however, claim any responsibility for information collected by or from websites linking to or from Ithaka. These sites may have their own privacy policies, or no policies at all. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these other sites before providing them with any personally-identifying information.

Sharing Information

Ithaka does not share user information unless required to do so by law, or unless we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with the law or a legal proceeding, or to protect and defend our rights and property or the rights and property of contributors to the Ithaka website.
