Website Visitors
Similar to numerous site administrators, Planthesaurus gathers non-personal identification details which are customarily disclosed by web browsers and servers, including the the type of browser, language settings, and source website, and the timestamps of visitor inquiries. Planthesaurus’s aims to gather non-personally identifying information is to gain a deeper comprehension of how Planthesaurus’s visitors use its website. Periodically, Planthesaurus might disclose aggregated non-personal data, for instance, by reporting trends related to site engagement.
Planthesaurus additionally gathers potential personal identifiers such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for both authenticated users and those posting comments on planthesaurus.com blogs and forums. Planthesaurus only reveals IP addresses of logged-in users and commenters in similar situations as those governing the disclosure of personally identifying details, as outlined herein, with the exception that the IP and email addresses of commenters are visible and shared with the administrators of the respective blog or forum.
