Whether whichever protocol you choose to utilize(FTP, HTTPS, HTTP, DNS, etc..), at the moment that you made a request to our server, our server will log the request that your browser/software made to us and also your IP. These logs of IPs help us identify any problem with our services if there are. These logs are also a crucial tool for us to maintain the security of our service or detecting a data breach.

IPs are somewhat similar to if you were to walk into a store and the store has cameras to help monitor suspicious activities and enhancing customers' experiences by capturing all traffic into the store. However, IPs are less identifiable than a real image. As an image of you taken by a security camera would clearly be able to identify who you are. Unless you provided us with others identifiable information, IPs are not as such capability as multiple users could share a same public IP address and information pertaining to an IP address is usually kept by the ISP(Internet Service Provider) and ISPs usually do not disclose IP's information unless the matter pertains to laws.

We also use IPs as a tool to analyze the broad geographic trend of our visitor. We do not have an intention to link an actual person to an IP address but we use IPs as a tool of security and as a tool for analyzing traffic trends.

We may report or publicly disclose abusive IPs engaging in hacking attempts or other malicious behavior of which, include, but not limited to, causing a DDoS to our services, attempted DDoS, any type of spam, hacking attempts, hacking, phishing, spoofing, SQL injection, attempted SQL injection, attempted to exploit a security vulnerability in a version of a software that we run even though we are not running that version, attempted to exploit a security vulnerability in a software on our server that we may or may not have the software installed, and any attempt to exploits any security vulnerability on our server/software/web platform whether if the vulnerability existed or not.

We also use this information to help better understand the demographic trend of our traffic to help us further improve our service.

When the page is loaded, if Javascript is enabled we may also measure and collect your screen's width and height information, whether in pixel size or in physical(inches/cm/etc...) size to determine which version of the website is better to serve to you based on your device screen's size.
