No, the Turner Free Library does not log public computer use beyond confirming that a valid library card number was entered. After logging out of one of the Library's public computers, all files as well as all local data (i.e. browsing history, downloads, etc) is deleted and cannot be recovered. The Library also does not track internet access on its public WiFi network or Chromebooks. For more information, please view the Library's Patron Privacy and Internet Safety and Computer Use policies.
Use of some Library systems, such as printing, and associated apps may generate usage records. For each print job, the document name, page count, and associated printing cost is recorded in the Library's printing system. Pending print jobs remain active only until the end of the Library's business day, and the print system's job log and transaction history is purged monthly.
Library services such as Libby, Hoopla, Kanopy, and others have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to visit the vendor's website or to contact Library staff for assistance.
Additionally, the Old Colony Library Network (OCLN) has a publicly-available privacy policy which outlines the scope and use of any visitor data collected on OCLN sites.
