What do we do with the information collected automatically?

The anonymous information collected during each request is collated for analysis. It is then evaluated and published in reports that show Navitas' usage patterns and identify popular areas of the website. This helps us to improve and develop the website and its services.

For security reasons, Navitas uses software programs to monitor network traffic and identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

What won't we do with the information collected automatically?

No attempt will be made to identify individual users or their browsing activities except for when, in the unlikely event of an investigation, a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect Navitas logs.

Apart from an occasion when it may be required to do so by law, Navitas will not disclose your personal information to a third party, other than a contractor responsible for statistical analysis or web development, and then for those purposes only, unless you have authorised it to do so.

  • unauthorised attempts by other websites to index the contents of Navitas website
  • attempts to intercept messages of other Navitas website users
