Information collected about
Gulfport Energy Corporation’s web site collects certain personal information about you whenever you send an e-mail to Gulfport Energy Corporation (the “Company”) or investor relations or complete one of our on-line forms, such as the document request form. The personal information you provide can identify you and your business, and may include such items as your name, your employer’s name, e-mail and US mail addresses, and office and home telephone numbers and fax numbers.
The Company also collects or logs other information that cannot identify you personally when you visit our web site. This information includes your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and your domain name. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by the Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) computer through which you access the web, and a domain name is the name of the ISP computer itself through which you access the web.
The Company logs IP addresses and domain names and aggregates them for system administration purposes and to monitor the use of our site. We use the aggregated information to measure the number of visits to our site, the average time spent on our site, the number of pages viewed, to monitor various other site statistics and to diagnose problems with our server.
This monitoring process helps us continuously improve the content we provide. The Company does not share these statistics with outside parties and does not link IP addresses or domain names with any personally identifying information, which means that a visitor’s session will be logged on our servers, but the visitor will remain anonymous.
We also may retain information concerning the web sites that users access by means of links at our site, and the web sites from which users link to our site. This information does not include personally identifiable data concerning those users.
