If you contact us via email (at our Feedback address

for which the information is provided. It will not be added

Exceptions to the rule.
We will collect, use and disclose more extensive information

We reserve the right to make disclosures to

We provide feedback facilities on the site to allow
users to provide input into the future development of
the site and to comment on the provision of service by the
Office. The provision of personal details on feedback
is
optional. Users may provide personal details for the
purpose of receiving a reply to their feedback. This information
will only be used for the purpose for which it was provided.
We will not add your email address or name to any mailing
list. We may publish aggregated information about feedback
on the site, to the extent that it does not identify
or
cannot be used to identify individual users.
Access to information within the host
We capture the usage information on our own computers.
Access to the raw data is restricted to a limited number
of
people for the purpose of analysis and to report
on our

Due to the developing nature of privacy principles for

in
light of new developments or issues that may arise from
time to time. The amended policy will be posted to this site
and
will operate from the time it is posted.
