evaluating the "traffic" to our site in terms of number of
unique visitors, level of demand, most popular page requests, and
types of errors.

to prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the data
on our servers.
Except for authorized law enforcement investigations or other
facially valid legal processes, we will not share any information we
receive with any outside parties.
