Your Privacy is Important to the FMB
Any personal information we collect is protected by the Privacy Act. The Act lets you see personal information held by the government. It also helps to keep that information private.

IP Address
IP addresses let computers communicate with each other over the internet. We use software programs to see how many people visit our website and protect against access without permission. These programs record the IP addresses of computers that visit this site. We do not link IP addresses to individual users. The only time we might do this is if someone tries to hack or damage the website.
