Website Visitors
Like most websites, IDEA ELC 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. IDEA ELC’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how IDEA ELC’s visitors use its website.

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.

Other than to its employees, and affiliated organizations, as described above, IDEA ELC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when IDEA ELC believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of IDEA ELC, third parties or the public at large.
