IP Addresses
An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. All computer identification on the Internet is conducted with IP addresses, which allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. MDVIP.com collects IP addresses in order to conduct system administration, report aggregate information and to conduct site analysis. If a visitor requests pages from www.mdvip.com, our Internet server enters the visitor's IP address into a log. To maintain visitor anonymity, www.mdvip.com does not associate IP addresses with records containing personal information. However, www.mdvip.com will use IP addresses to identify any visitors who threaten our service, site, customers or others.
