In all cases, the check for an existing matching contact uses the default"Individual Strict Duplicate Matching Rule" (match on email address). Ifyou are concerned with existing contact data being over-written byanonymous visitors, you can modify this rule to make matches less likely(or even impossible). For example, if you NEVER want anonymous input tomatch (i.e. always create a new contact record) - edit that rule and setthe 'weight threshold' higher than 10. You will then need to run FindDuplicates periodically using a different rule, and merge any duplicaterecords with their associated memberships, contributions, etc.
