The User’s computer receives an IP address each time the User is connected to Internet. Through this address the User’s computer sends and receives data. In general, each time the User is connected to Internet the IP address is different. However, under specific conditions, (e.g. in broadband connections) the user’s IP address becomes permanent. A permanent IP address might identify a User with a certain computer and therefore might process personal data.

Examples of types of information collected through IP address include date and time of website visit, the browser type and software type used.
