AiADisc.com Web Sites indirectly collects a variety of information pertaining to use of its Web sites. One type of this information is that which is related to site traffic volume and patterns, such as the number of visitors to a given site or page on a daily basis.

Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit a page from AiADisc.com Web Sites, our servers log your computer's IP address.
