Privacy on the internet

On the Relationships Australia website, our Internet Service Provider makes a record of your visit and logs the following information for statistical purposes – the address of the server you connect from, your server’s top level domain name (eg. .com, .gov, .au, .uk etc), the date and time of your visit to the website, the pages accessed and documents downloaded, the previous site visited, and the type of browser used.

No attempt will be made to identify anonymous users or their browsing activities except, in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect the Internet Service Provider’s logs.
