INFORMATION GATHERED
Web servers collect and log information about the computers connecting
to them. The antiqueradios.com server is no different. It logs the date
and time of each request for a page or file, along with other information
such as the browser being used, the operating system and the I.P. address
of the connecting computer and the file requested. This data is collected
and analyzed to improve the site.
THE ANTIQUE RADIO FORUMS
When posting to the forums the I.P. address of the computer being used
to post a message is recorded and retained with the post. Posting as
a "Guest" or unregistered user is not anonymous, and the software
matches up the name(s) used for each I.P. address recorded.
When registering a user is required to provide information for their
membership. This information
is publicly viewable. Content posted in the forums is publicly viewable
to everyone visiting the site. All information submitted, with the exception
of your selected password which is encrypted, and all messages public
and private, is viewable by the site administrator.
