    Information We Collect

Three types of information are collected:

  1. Personal, or "individually identifiable," information you provide to us; and
  2. Standard web server/visitor traffic information, commonly referred to as "aggregate information," regarding overall website traffic patterns. Normally, web servers collect this type of basic information as part of their web log processes. We only use this information for statistical, reporting and website administration and maintenance purposes. It is not used in a way that individually identifies you.
  3. Your IP address is stored in our user registration databases when you register, subscribe or login. It is used to prevent fraud or any kind of malicious activity.

Collection and use of Personal Data

The Company does not collect or record personal information, other than the information you choose to provide through the online forms on this website.

If you do submit online forms containing personal information, we will use that information to respond to your message, for email marketing (covered below) and for any membership services covered by this site. The main purpose of collecting and using personal information submitted through our site is to create a membership area that allows for members to connect. The information gathered will only be used to complete your request unless specifically stated on a particular form.

Information provided by you will be handled in accordance with Australian Privacy Laws. We maintain strict privacy standards and procedures with a view to preventing unauthorised access to your data by anyone other than the Company.

Direct Marketing

Email addresses and any other contact details you provide may be used for email marketing. We use a 3rd party application for email marketing and any email marketing we send includes a simple opt option to no longer receive direct marketing communications or change communication preferences.

Third Party Information

We will not disclose your personal information to a third party without your consent, unless we are required or authorised to do so by law or other regulation. In the unlikely event of an investigation into suspected unlawful or improper activity, a law enforcement agency or government agency may exercise its legal authority to inspect the web server's records (e.g. in relation to hacking, fraud or abusive messages).

Cookies & Google Analytics

We use Cookies on our site, but only for functioning of the website and Google Remarketing as mentioned below. We also use Cookies for collecting data in Google Analytics to help us understand traffic coming to our site for such things as total visits, unique and repeat visits, pages visited, demographic data and other general data. Cookies may be used to capture identifiable information specific to a person for the usage of the site.

For our members, cookies are also used within the login area to store session information.

Cookies are small files which are stored on a user's computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

Your use of members' information

You may not use another members' information, whether public or private, for any commercial purposes, to spam, identity theft, to harass, or to make unlawful threats. We reserve the right to terminate any who misuse other members' information or who otherwise violate any user agreements, policies, or rules governing the use of the Site without notice.
