| We recognise the importance
of protecting the privacy of information collected about
visitors to our sites, in particular information that
is capable of identifying an individual ("personal
information"). This Internet Privacy Policy governs
the manner in which your personal information, obtained
through the web site, will be dealt with. This Privacy
Policy should be reviewed periodically so that you are
updated on any changes.
Your
Personal Information
Personal information about visitors to our sites is
collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted.
For example, we may need to collect such information
to provide you with further services or to answer
or forward any requests or enquiries. It is our intention
that this policy will protect your personal information
from being dealt with in any way that is inconsistent
with applicable privacy laws in Australia.
How
We Collect Personal Information
In the course of providing our services, we collect
personal information in a variety of ways. For example,
information is collected when you:
ask to be placed on one of our mailing
lists,
apply for a job with us,
make an enquiry about our services,
visit our web site, or
become a client or debtor of the company.
How we use the information we collect
Personal information that visitors submit to our sites
is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted
unless we disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy
Policy or at the time of collection. Copies of correspondence
sent from the web site, that may contain personal
information, are stored as archives for record-keeping
and back-up purposes only. You should be aware that
we may use your email address to contact you in the
future. We will not sell or pass on your details to
third parties.
Use
of the information for a secondary purpose
We may sometimes use the personal information we collect
for a secondary purpose, that is, for use in a way
different from the original reason for collection.
We will only do this in the following circumstances:
where you have consented,
where the secondary purpose is directly related to
the primary purpose, and you would reasonably expect
us to use or disclose the information in such a way,
or
where we are permitted or required by law, or
it is in the interests of public safety to do so.
Correcting
information
You can also request that information about you be
corrected or deleted. This is part of our commitment
to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information
we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
Disclosure
You should be aware that we may use your email address
to contact you in the future. We will not sell or
pass on your details to third parties.
Security
We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy
of personal information submitted to our site. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be totally secure.
However, we will endeavour to take
all reasonable steps to protect the personal information
you may transmit to us or from our online products
and services. Once we do receive your transmission,
we will also make our best efforts to ensure its security
on our systems.
In addition, our employees and the
contractors who provide services related to our information
systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality
of any personal information held by us. However, we
will not be held responsible for events arising from
unauthorised access to your personal information.
