Site Usage Information
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and an IP (Internet Protocol) address, containing a set of numbers. This information reveals nothing personal about the visitor.

Such data is used in the aggregate to help determine general usage patterns and fine tune layout patterns to ensure our site is as "User Friendly" as possible. This information is not collected or evaluated for individuals and our web servers do not automatically record e-mail addresses.
The Site Owner will share aggregate information about our users; for example, we will say that X number of users visited our transit pages in the past month or X% of users were searching for information about snow removal services.
