As is common among Internet site operators, the operator of the Service maintains Web server logs. Web servers automatically identify your computer or mobile device by its IP address and collect that information in its Web server logs. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer or mobile device by your Internet service provider or mobile service provider whenever you log onto the World Wide Web or access the Internet. The Newsmandu Web server logs collect statistical data that is generated by your computer when it visits the Service, such as the type of Web browser and operating system used to access the Service, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the date and time you access the Service, and the pages you visit. Within the framework of the Service, we process this Web server log information for a variety of purposes. Some of these purposes include: system administration; examination of overall traffic trends on the Service; troubleshooting; and the collection of broad demographic information about users of the Service.
