5.      COOKIES AND WEBSITE

(a) “Cookies” (being small text files placed on your computer when you first visit our website) are used on some parts of our website. Most browsers now recognise when a cookie is offered and permit you to refuse or accept it. If you are not sure whether your browser has this capability, you should check with the software manufacturer or your internet service provider.

(b) Cookies are primarily used to enhance your online experience and are not used to track the navigational habits of identified visitors, unless we obtain your permission to do so. If you visit our website to read or download information, much of the information we do collect is statistical only (for example the domain from which you access the internet, the date and time you access our website and the internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our website) and is not personally identifiable. We use this information about the number of visitors and their use of the sites in aggregate form to make our website more useful and attractive to visitors.

(c) Our website is hosted by an external service provider and we may also use the services of other online service providers from time to time. Our service provider’s use of cookies is not covered by this Privacy Policy. Our website may also include hyperlinks which enable access to third party websites. These third party websites are not subject to this Privacy Policy.

(d) In addition to the above provisions, when you visit our website, our internet service provider may automatically record the following information about you for statistical purposes – your server address, your domain name, date and time of your visit to our website, pages you accessed and the information or documents you downloaded and the type of browser you used.

6.      OVERSEAS TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

(a) We may use internet service providers that have servers located overseas, including social media and cloud service providers. This means that your personal information supplied to us through our website or our social media websites may sometimes be transferred overseas.

(b) If you elect to provide personal information to us through any of our online services you are deemed to consent to the overseas transfer of such information.

(c) Apart from the above we will only transfer your personal information overseas if we are required to do so by law, or we reasonably believe that the recipient will be required to uphold privacy principles which are similar to the APPs, or you have consented to the transfer, or it is not practical to obtain your consent or the transfer is for your benefit and your consent is likely to be given, or the transfer of the information is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us, or we have taken reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information will not be held, used or disclosed by the overseas recipient which does not comply with the Privacy Act and/or the APPs.

7.       DATA SECURITY

(a) We have technological and operational security policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable protection against misuse and loss, and from unauthorised access, interference or modification, disclosure or unintentional destruction.

(b) Our personnel who have access to personal information have been trained to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

8.       OPTING IN AND OUT

(a) At the point we collect information from you, you may be asked to opt in to consent to us using or disclosing your personal information other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any applicable law. For example, you may be requested to opt in to receive further information or communications from our advertisers or external service providers which do not fall into one of the categories described above.

(b) You will generally be given the opportunity to opt out from receiving communications from us or from third parties that send communications to you in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For example, you will be given the option to unsubscribe from email newsletters and other marketing or promotional material sent by us. You may opt out from receiving these communications by clicking on an unsubscribe link at the end of an email.
