Some computer, Internet, and automatic information may be collected when you visit or interact with TOUCHEDBYTHEHANDOFGOD.COM, simply by virtue of using a computer or other forms of Internet communication between servers and computers. Examples of such standard information are your IP (Internet Protocol) address, your computer's browser type, operating system, your click-stream URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) leading to and from our site, URLs and pages visited while at our web site.

This site is hosted by google, which conducts its own web analytics and data collection. They may track the IP addresses from which people visit this site and analyze the data; however, individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are. Some of these analytics, such as number of monthly site visitors and number of visits to each page, are shared with us; however, data is provided in the aggregate, not individually.
