More information on privacy

1. The information we collect
Sometimes, if we are featuring a particular service on the site, to enable us to either provide that service to you or give you more information on it we may request further personal information from you. Any such further information will only be collected with your consent. We do not collect information on you from other organizations or websites.

We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows '95 or Mac OS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., AOL, Ozemail).

2. How we use the information
We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfil your requests for our products, programs, and services and to respond to your inquiries about our offerings.

We will not provide any of your personal information we obtain through this website to any other parties without your express consent.

We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalise your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyse site usage.

We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.

Our agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for our site.

Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we can give you no assurance that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.

If we propose to disclose personally identifiable information to companies not owned by us who want to market products or services to you, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out or block such uses.

We may on occasion combine information we receive online with outside records to enhance our ability to market to you those products or services that may be of interest to you.

Finally, our site will not use or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses.

3. The use of cookies
Cookies are items of information transferred from a website to your computer’s hard disc to assist with record keeping. For example a cookie enables your computer to recognise that you have visited this website. Most web browsers are programmed to accept cookies. Cookies don’t identify users, but they do identify browsers. Cookies can be disabled (see below).

Cookies have a positive benefit in that they can enhance your enjoyment of what we can offer through this website. For example they can assist us to ensure that information provided to you is relevant to your interests. Through cookies we can collect aggregated information on how people use the website. With this information we are better able to improve the website and the services and information it provides. Cookies also enable us to monitor our site registration system, for example, by identifying a site visitor who may have previously been a member. For information on how to disable cookies, go to: www.microsoft.com/info/cookies.htm

4. Analysing site usage
We may use a third party independent service to measure and analyse usage across the site. Any service we use would have expertise in internet measurement technologies as well as market research and trend analysis. Use of such service may involve coding being placed on pages on the site to enable the following information on site usage to be collected:

• the number of unique visitors to the site;
• The average length of time these unique visitors spend on the site when they visit; and
• The entry and exit points onto the site for these unique visitors.

This coding may not be disabled completely however. If you disable cookies in your browser the effect would be that the independent service is unable to track you as a unique visitor to the site and will read you as a new visitor each time you browse a new page on the site. See section 3 as to disabling cookies.

The independent service would collect and collate aggregate and not personal information which is then provided to us to assist with our analysis of site usage. This independent service data may also be accessible by media organizations and research companies for the purpose of comparing usage patterns with similar internet web sites.

5. Use and disclosure of your personal information
We will not use or disclose any of your personal information without your express consent, unless:

• we are required by law;
• where it is necessary to provide you with a service requested by you;
• to implement the terms of use of this site; or
• we consider it necessary to lessen a serious threat to a person’s health or safety.

6. Storing and securing your personal information
We will use our best endeavours to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold about you is kept secure, accurate and up to date. This information is kept in secure servers within controlled premises. Also, our employees, agents and contractors are required to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us.

Unfortunately, however, we will not be responsible for events which may arise from unauthorised access to your personal information. To assist in preventing unauthorised access it is important for you to maintain the confidentiality of any password(s) used on another person.

7. Access to information we hold on you

If you wish to know what information we hold about you where you have provided personal information to us through the site please send us an email providing details of the nature of the personal information provided and when it would have been provided. We will endeavour to respond to your request within 30 days.

8. Links to other websites
Sometimes we provide links on the site to other websites. These sites are not under our control, however, and we can’t accept responsibility for the contents or operators of those sites. We don’t provide any of your personal information to these sites nor does any such information automatically pass to them with the linkage. Before you disclose any personal information for that other site you should read the terms of use and privacy policy for that site.

9. Concerns and complaints
We take seriously and will work to address any problems or concerns in relation to the site. If you have a problem or a concern please email us.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We recognise the necessary to improve and change particularly where the site acquires new features. Accordingly we may change both our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be notified by posting an updated policy on the site.
