   <p>Usage data is collected from the logs of various web services
     that the Jalview Desktop contacts through its normal operation.
     These are described below:</p>
-  <ul>
-    <li><em>HTTP logs on the Jalview website</em><br> We
-      record IP addresses of machines which access the web site, either
-      via the browser when downloading the application, or when the
-      Jalview Desktop user interface is launched.<br> <br>
-      <ul>
-        <li><i>The JNLP file at
-            www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp is retrieved to
-            determine if you are running the latest version of Jalview.</i></li>
-        <li><i>The questionnaire web service at
-            www.jalview.org/cgi-bin/questionnaire.pl is checked and a
-            unique cookie for the current questionnaire is stored in the
-            Jalview properties file.</i></li>
-        <li><i>The Jalview web services stack is contacted to
-            retrieve the currently available web services. All
-            interactions with the public Jalview web services are
-            logged, but we delete all job data (input data and results)
-            after about two weeks.</i></li>
-      </ul> <br></li>
-    <li><em>Google Analytics</em><br> Since Jalview 2.4.0b2,
-      the Jalview Desktop records usage data with Google Analytics via
-      the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jgoogleanalytics/">JGoogleAnalytics</a>
-      class.<br> The Google Analytics logs for Jalview version 2.4
-      only record the fact that the application was started, but in the
-      future, we will use this mechanism to improve the Desktop user
-      interface, by tracking which parts of the user interface are being
-      used most often.</li>
