5. IP Address

Every single device connected to the internet is awarded a set of numbers that serve as their “Internet Protocol” (IP) address. When a visitor requests a page on Extreme Cases, our web servers automatically recognise that visitor’s domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address does not reveal any personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We will only use this information to examine website traffic to investigate use of our network, the users, or to cooperate with law enforcement activities and enquiries. The information gained can include which pages were visited, how long a user was on the website for, how the user found the website, and what the user clicked on whilst using the website.
The information collected helps Extreme Cases see whether our website meets the needs of our users, as well as to evaluate how each of our websites can be improved. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals.
Extreme Cases will disclose an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
– cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Extreme Cases’s website.
– protect and defend the rights or property of Extreme Cases or visitors to our websites
– identify persons who may be violating the law, our terms and conditions of use, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing our websites or the computer equipment on which it is hosted (whether owned by Extreme Cases or a third party)
– fulfil a user’s order or request
