​

Data Collection

In general, you can visit the site without telling us who you are or providing any information about yourself. In some areas of the site, we may ask you to provide information. Generally, BLAI requests identifying personal information when you submit an online enquiry. BLAI will use your personal information to respond to a query, send you relevant updates, or provide you with services.

​

We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, products and information or as permitted / required by applicable law.

​

We will not sell, rent, or give to any third party any personally identifiable information about you. We will only share your data if it is a legal or regulatory requirement, eg, if a law enforcement official asks us for information about you, we may disclose that information where necessary to do so.

​

IP addresses

An IP address is a number assigned to your computer whenever you access the internet. It allows computers and servers to recognise and communicate with one another. IP addresses from which visitors appear to originate may be recorded for IT security and system diagnostic purposes. This information may also be used in aggregate form to conduct web site trend and performance analysis.
