When visiting this site, a record of your visit is logged. This ‘clickstream data’ is collected for statistical purposes and is used to help improve this website. The following information is supplied by your browser (for example Internet Explorer) and collected by us, or by third party data analytics providers on our behalf:
- the user’s server address

This information will be shared with third party data analytics providers for the purposes of measuring engagement and effectiveness of this website. This information is automatically collected as you engage with the site.
We may share this information with other government agencies for the same purposes.
Emails and contact us
When you email us personal information, or provide it to us through ‘contact us’ options provided through this site:
- we will record your name, email address and any other information submitted
- we will use this information for the purpose for which you provide it
- your email address will not be added to a mailing list, unless provided by you specifically for that purpose.
We may also provide your personal information and message to other government agencies, if we consider your query is more appropriately directed to them.
If you fail to provide us with a minimum level of information (usually marked with an asterisk and generally, an email address), we may not be able to respond to you. It may be possible for you to provide information to us without disclosing your real identity. However, this may limit the ability to provide a response to your enquiry.
