Privacy
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.
Information provided by you
You provide most of the personal information directly to
us and for a specific purpose.
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.
Links to other sites
We provide links to Web sites outside of our web site, as
well as to third party Web sites. These linked sites are not under our control, and
we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked to our website.
Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to
examine the terms and conditions of using that Web sites and its privacy
statement.
