First, we may make a record of your visit to the website, and collect information for statistical purposes, including things such as your server address; your top-level domain name (eg .com, .gov etc); the date and time of your visit; and the like.
Second, if you use the website to request or download information or other content; or to fill in and to submit an online form, then we may ask you to provide personal information, such as your name, contact details (including addresses, phone, fax and email), and other personal identifying information.

Recording of your Email
If you send us a message, uwsconnect will record your email address. This email address will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it. We will not use your email address for any other purpose and will not disclose it without your consent; however, some email communications may be monitored for statistical and quality purposes by uwsconnect.
It is important to remember that email is not a secure form of communication and uwsconnect cannot guarantee your message will not be viewed by someone else when being sent to us.
