Privacy

Our privacy policy is based on the best practice guidelines of the Privacy Commissioner.

We will only record your e-mail address if you send us a message, or 'opt-in' to a specific departmental subscription service. It will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it and will not be added to a mailing list, unless part of an 'opt-in' subscription service. We will not use your e-mail address for any other purpose, and will not disclose it to anyone, without your consent.

When you visit our web site, our internet service provider makes a record of your visit for statistical purposes, which we use to see how people use our web site and look for ways to improve it. We would like to see more direct feedback, as this is far more efficient than attempting to analyse log statistics. Send an email to pdc@pdc.wa.gov.au and tell us what you like and don't like about the site.

The following information is logged - the user's server address, the user's top level domain name (for example .com, .gov, .au, .uk etc), the date and time of visit to the site, the pages accessed and documents downloaded, the previous site visited, and the type of browser used. No attempt will be made to identify 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.
