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:
- place an order for products listed on this website
- 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.
