Collection, Use and Disclosure of Information
HAT will only use personal information provided by you for the purposes for which it was collected. HAT will never reveal personal information to third parties, unless disclosure is required or authorised by Australian law (including the laws of Australia's states and territories).

HAT will protect the quality and integrity of  personally identifiable information. We utilise appropriate technologies and security methods to store information and to prevent unauthorised access to and improper use of information.

HAT only collects personal information  with the  prior knowledge and consent of relevant parties. You can access HAT’s website home page and browse the site without disclosing personal information.
When you look at the HAT website, our Internet Service Provider makes a record of your visit and logs the following information for statistical purposes

• the user's server address
• the user's top level domain name (for example .com, .gov, .au, .uk etc)
• the date and time of the visit to the site
• the pages accessed and documents downloaded.

No attempt will be made by HAT to identify users or their browsing activities except, in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect the Internet Service Provider's logs.

HAT will only record your email address if you send us a message, or if you willingly provide your email address when you join HAT or to subscribe to HAT newsletters.
