Logs
Ardent may also use logs to collect data about visitors’ use of the Website. Ardent may review server logs for security purposes, for example, to detect intrusions into our network. Server log data, which contains visitors’ IP addresses, could in instances of criminal malfeasance be used to trace and identify individuals. In such instances, raw data logs would be shared with appropriate investigative bodies authorized to investigate such breaches of security. Like cookies, logs do not cross reference the data automatically collected with any type of personal data that is voluntarily offered by you on or through this Website.
