Website Visitors

Like most website operators, LeanSwift collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. LeanSwift's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how LeanSwift's visitors use its website. From time to time, LeanSwift may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

LeanSwift also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our websites. LeanSwift only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site where the comment was left.
