9 Website Visitors

From time to time, The Mamie Martin Fund may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
The Mamie Martin Fund also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs.

In each case, The Mamie Martin Fund collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Mamie Martin Fund.
