spiffa.org's Privacy Policy

---

At spiffa.org, the privacy of our visitors is important to us. This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information that is received and collected by spiffa.org and how it's used

Email addresses

Contact details of those making enquiries via the contact form or via email are treated with the strictest confidence and aren't flogged off to spammers, shared with our mates or otherwise distributed to third parties

Log Files

Like many other websites, spiffa.org makes use of server log files to better understand our visitor patterns

The information recorded in the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks
We're able to see this info in a report form and can see what pages, links, downloads and other content are the most popular and useful and to see how visitors navigate about the site, how they get there and how they leave
Your IP address is the number of your ISP's server machine and has no relation to your home address

None of this information is linked to any information that is personally identifiable

Cookies

spiffa.org uses StatCounter to gather the above statistics. This enables us to better configure the site to provide better information and navigation for the site visitors. Statcounter leaves a simple cookie on your computer that merely serves to inform us if you're a returning visitor or not. It has no other function

If you wish to disable cookies, you can do that through your individual browser options
More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites

Enhanced Privacy for web users

Or, if you use Firefox or Chrome, download the free Ghostery add-on extension from here and have full blocking control over web trackers, including the ubiquitous advertisers' tracking cookies and browsing habits profile builders from any or all sites, including Google. If you use Internet Explorer, you just have to cop it sweet....

If you'd like to totally bamboozle search engines that are analysing your search terms and profiling you (and they possibly know who you are), consider installing the free TrackMeNot search engine bamboozler, again only for Firefox and Chrome

If you require any more information or have any questions about this privacy policy, you may wish to email our technical department (pictured below) or use this contact form
