An IP address will also be logged if the IP address is found to be committing actions that risk the security of www.wiltronics.com.au (eg. attempting to access admin accounts).

Analytics and Tracking
The company utilises Google Analytics on the website to gather information used to improve user experience and site performance. This service will store IP addresses, however we have elected to utilise their anonymize IP function. This results in the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses getting set to zeros before any storage or processing takes place. The full IP address is never stored.
The company also uses Hotjar to better understand how users interact with the site and how we can improve its usability. Hotjar does not store IP addresses or any other personal information.
