Privacy Policy
APA ETHANE LIMITED PRIVACY STATEMENT
APA Ethane Limited (APA ETHANE) abides by the National Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Security holders
Our share registry service provider, Link Market Services Limited (Link) handles personal information of security holders of Ethane Pipeline Income Fund.
Once you become a security holder of Ethane Pipeline Income Fund, Chapter 2C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requires information about you, including your name, address and details of the securities you hold, to be kept in the public register. This information must continue to be included in Ethane Pipeline Income Fund’s public register even if you cease to be a security holder. These statutory obligations are not altered by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Site visit data
In common with many commercial websites, we may also make a record of your visit, logging the following information for statistical purposes:
• your server's address;
• the type of browser and operating system you are using;
• the date and time of the visit to the site;
• the pages accessed and documents downloaded; and
• the previous Internet address from which you linked directly to this site. In the cases where the referring site declines to pass this information on, the server does not obtain these details.
We will not identify users or their browsing activities, except where:

We may in these above circumstances identify your server address to enable us to contact you.
