From time to time, HyResponder may release nonpersonally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. The HyResponder website also collects potentially personally-identifying information like
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. The project consortium only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
