Well Rated’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Well Rated’s visitors use its website.

Well Rated also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on the wellrated.co.uk website. Well Rated only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site where the comment was left.
