GB Surfing collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. GB Surfing’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use its website.
GB Surfing also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. GB Surfing does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to GB Surfing choose to interact with the website in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that GB Surfing gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address.
In each case, GB Surfing collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with the website. GB Surfing does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

GB Surfing will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, GB Surfing discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when GB Surfing believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of GB Surfing third parties, or the public at large.
