Geotagging

If you allow this website to access your location, we may collect information about the wifi routers closest to you, cell ids of the cell towers closest to you, and the strength of your wifi or cell signal. We may use this information to return an estimated location to the browser and the browser sends the estimated location to this website. For each request sent to our service, we also collect IP address, user agent information, and unique identifier of your client. The Raising Literacy Australia team use this information to distinguish requests, not to identify you.

Why do we collect this information?

Raising Literacy Australia Inc. uses the information at the end of each month to analyse the site’s usage statistics, thus determining the most popular pages, facilities, and competitions.  By gathering these statistics, The Raising Literacy Australia team can continue to develop resources, activities and programs that are relevant for parents, carers, and the childhood industry.
