This information is collated from log files which record details of each website transaction.

We will not use any individually identifying personal information without your consent, with the exception of instances of breach of the website Standard Conditions of Use.
The information collated from log files of website transactions provides us with aggregated data only, and contains no identifying information. It enables Global Community Resourcing to determine the extent to which our audiences use different parts of the Site, to monitor customer demand and preferences. From evaluation of this data, Global Community Resourcing can work to constantly improve the Site and the relevance of its content for the Health and Community Services Sector. For example, this data analysis enables us to rate products, articles, links, and sector news by frequency of access (i.e. popularity), and customise the website so that those shown to be most relevant to the Sector appear towards the top of the page. Global Community Resourcing may use information from log files when investigating suspected breaches of the Global Community Resourcing Standard Conditions of Use Policy. For example, where the Site has been vandalised or material posted under another person’s name without their consent, Global Community Resourcing may access the log files to investigate the source and take corrective action. Global Community Resourcing may also use this information to investigate technical issues related to the performance of the Site. For example, a poorly behaving web spider may place excessive load on the Site. Global Community Resourcing may use data collected in the log files to identify the source and take corrective action.In the event that Global Community Resourcing is investigating inappropriate use or technical issues on the Global Community Resourcing website, Global Community Resourcing may share information in log files with Internet Service Providers and law enforcement authorities, in order to further investigate the issue. In circumstances where illegal activity is suspected, Global Community Resourcing may make log files available to law enforcement authorities.
