Any personal information provided to the TSRA website by site users will be treated with the utmost care, and will not knowingly be used in ways not explicitly consented to by the user who supplied the information and to whom the information refers.

When users visit this website, the TSRA site server makes a record of their visit and records the following information: server address, top-level domain name (eg. .com, .gov, .au, .edu etc.), date and time, geographic location and duration of visit, the pages accessed and the documents downloaded, the type of browser and operating system used and the site visited before the TSRA website. These records are analysed regularly to improve the website’s relevance and value.

The TSRA website may maintain email lists to keep users informed about areas of specific interest and will only provide such information to users as they have consented to receive. The TSRA website does not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on these lists to any third party. Users may ask to be removed from these lists at any time. The TSRA website may use a feature of your browser (“cookies”) to assign a unique user ID.
