but this tracking is never associated with
individual users.
Use of information
The Harvard Homepage staff uses the information
gathered above to tailor site content to user
needs, and to generate aggregate statistical
reports. At no time do we disclose site usage by
individual IP addresses. Web server logs are
retained on a temporary basis and then deleted
completely from our systems.

protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the
information under our control.
