- Log Files & Standard Server Data: Like most web servers, our hosting infrastructure logs standard connection requests. This includes IP addresses, browser types, Internet Service Provider (ISP) information, date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. These logs are not linked to personally identifiable information and are used strictly for security monitoring, server health, and traffic diagnostic purposes.
