What Information Do We Collect?
Tisch MS Research Center of New York receives and records certain information from your browser in the server logs from your visit to our website. Whenever you request a page through your browser, the navigation and clickstream data, such as IP address, browser (and version), operating system, date, time, and the site from which you came are stored in a log file.
