In addition, your browser type and operating system information may be recorded.</p> <h3> </h3> <h4><strong>Navigation Data</strong></h4> <p>Browsing any website generates a trail of pages visited, the amount of data transferred and the time of access. This information is recorded against the network address supplied by your web browser.</p> <p>The information collected during each visit referred to above is generated by the systems you are accessing, and stored in system logs. These logs are preserved and archived for possible future use for the purposes set out below.</p> <p>The information is used by Parliament of Australia website software, and by our support staff, only for:</p> <ul> <li>website and systems administration, including monitoring as a security measure</li> <li>customisation of the website to meet your needs</li> <li>evaluation, research and development.</li> </ul> <p>The information collected will not be disclosed to a third party without your prior written consent except where it is required or authorised by law, such as in the investigation of a criminal offence, and in compliance with a search warrant or subpoena.</p> <h4>Electronic Mail </h4> <p>We will only record your email address in the event that you send a message by email, you register for ‘My Parliament’, you sign up to a newsletter, you provide your email address when participating in an online parliamentary process, or your email address is provided by a third party.
