Collection of Personal Data

When users browse or download/print information from our website, our system will automatically collect and store the Internet Protocol (‘IP’) Address and domain name used. The IP Address is a numerical identifier assigned either to a user’s Internet Service Provider or directly to the user’s computer.

The IP Address shall direct internet traffic to users and identify the type of browser and operating system used. Moreover the date and time the user visited the website, the web pages or services accessed at this website and the website the user visited prior to coming to this website may also be logged and collected for statistical purposes.

For website management purposes, information is collected for statistical and/or historical purposes. As is the case with most systems, we use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.

For website security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, we monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Baring statutory law enforcement investigations and the security purposes mentioned in this notice, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or visit usage.

Unauthorised attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the applicable national law and/or any international agreement or legal instrument.

If during the user’s visit to this website an email is sent, the email message and email address may be retained by the server. We may retain the user’s email to respond appropriately, including responding to users queries, to address issues identified by users, to further improve the website or to forward the email to another agency for appropriate action.

The information collected is not limited to text characters and may also include audio, video and graphic information.
