Personally Identifying Information
The Cultural Alliance does not require you to register or furnish any personal information as a condition of using our Web site. We collect personally identifying information only if you voluntarily provide it to us.

The Cultural Alliance logs Internet protocol (IP) addresses to conduct system administration, report aggregate information, and conduct site analysis. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. All computer identification on the Internet is conducted with IP addresses, which allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. If a visitor requests pages from the Cultural Alliance, the Cultural Alliance servers enter the visitor's IP address into a log. To maintain visitor anonymity, the Cultural Alliance does not associate IP addresses with records containing personal information. However, the Cultural Alliance will use IP addresses to identify any visitors who refuse to comply with the Cultural Alliance's in-house rules or terms of service, and to identify visitors who threaten our service, site, customers or others.
