From time to time, Generations may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Generations also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments. Generations 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 blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
