Like most website operators, NYSCA collects non personally identifying information typically made available by web browsers and servers, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and date and time of visits. This information helps us understand how visitors use our website.

We also collect potentially personally identifying information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on blog posts. We disclose such information only under the same circumstances as described below for personally identifying information.
