Data that in some way identifies the user is gathered during interactions with the "KDMA" Web site in the following circumstances:

• Computer information
  It is a necessary part of visiting any Web site, including the 'KDMA' site, that the user's Web browser provides the machine's identity (its IP address) to the Web server, so that the server can address the reply to the correct machine. In addition, the browser type and operating system are provided.

Data storage, use and disclosure, and retention
All personal data described in the preceding section is stored in transmission logs, and archived for a period that is yet to be determined but is likely to be at least 12 months and quite probably seven years.
The data is used by the Kuring-gai District Medical Association site software, and by staff involved in the Kuring-gai District Medical Association Web site operation, only for:

• Web site and system administration, including monitoring to prevent security breaches;
  
• customisation of the Web site to the user's needs; and
  
• evaluation, research and development.
  

Identified data can only be re-disclosed to the user if the user provides the unique request session number.
