emails between you and us.

The Servers also log:

the date and time of your visit; and
the URL address of the pages accessed and the documents downloaded.

We will not try to identify you or your browsing activities through the information set out above except, in the event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect the logs, or if your usage is causing technical issues for the Sites, including an attack on a Site that may need to be resolved.
