Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Dunstable College collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Dunstable College’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Dunstable College’s visitors use its website

Dunstable College also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Dunstable College does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Dunstable College’s websites choose to interact with Dunstable College in ways that require Dunstable College to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Dunstable College gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address. In each case, Dunstable College collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Dunstable College. Dunstable College does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
