Log Files
When visiting c9n.hr888888.com, the server records the Internet domain and IP address from which the website visitor accessed the site.

The University uses IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, troubleshoot problems and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. This improves usability of the website. Since IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information (PII), this practice does not result in the identification of your personal e-mail address or other sensitive information.
