How we handle the information we gather when you visit our web site

Web server activity logs

Like most web servers on the Internet, our servers collect and store all of the information that your web browser sends when it requests a web page, including:

o The name, domain, and numerical internet address of the "host" computer (typically a    computer belonging to your Internet Service Provider and not your personal computer)    from which you access the Internet;
o The date and time you accessed our site;
o The Internet address of the web page that you came from;
o The page you requested from our site and the number of characters sent to your    computer; and
o The information your web browser software sends as its so-called "User Agent," which    typically identifies the browser software and may also indicate the operating system    and type of CPU used in your personal computer.

It is impossible to determine the actual identity of an individual user from this information.

The logs are periodically summarized and analysed in order to study site usage over time and to perform other studies to help us improve the site's organization, performance, and usefulness.

Electronic mail

When you send us personal identifying information via e-mail (that is, in a message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a form that e-mails us this information), we use it to respond to your requests. In no event, do we distribute lists of e-mail addresses to other third parties.

Retention of collected information

Web server activity logs - Monthly extracts of the log files are archived and stored off-line at our discretion for an indefinite period of time. Some statistical summaries derived from these data may be retained online or off-line at our discretion for an indefinite period of time.

E-mail - Information collected via e-mail will be retained at our discretion in a directly readable form for as long as necessary to complete our response. The e-mail itself may be retained in an archival form.
