The Privacy Policy and Plan
This Privacy Statement explains WAG privacy practices related to the content and use of its websites.
Collection of information
1. Automatic logging of information [site visit data]
IP addresses are used to administer the website and to diagnose problems. An IP (Internet Protocol address) is the address of a computer. We may use it to track your session, with the information used for statistical purposes e.g. numbers and frequency of visitors to the website.
When you visit our website to read pages or download information, the following information is automatically collected - the user's IP address, the user's top level domain name (e.g. .com, .gov, .au etc), the date and time of the visit to the site, the pages accessed and documents downloaded, the referring site and the type of browser/operating system 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. WAG will not provide any information of any type to any person, authority or organisation that it is not required to provide under penalty of law.
This site visit data is anonymous information, aggregated for analysis, with identifiable characteristics removed. Recording usage patterns helps us to identify popular areas of our site, and helps us work to improve and develop the site.
For security reasons, we use software programs to monitor network traffic and identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. It is a criminal offence to interfere with computers or data.
2. Collection of personal information
WAG collects personal information (name, email address and phone number etc.) ONLY when you provide it to join the website system or become a WAG member. This information is stored in a secure database. The information will be used only for its intended or a directly related purpose. The information you provide will not be used for any other purpose without your consent (see Disclosure below).

If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your Internet browser to refuse cookies or to warn you when cookies are being used. Refusal may make some parts of our websites inaccessible, unusable, or behave strangely. We will try and avoid such difficulties as we do not believe in making it compulsory to use cookies. We suggest that you regularly purge your internet browser of saved cookies.
Disclosure
WAG may be required on occasion to disclose your personal information to third parties e.g. if required by law or to provide the service you requested.
