We may collect personal information about you when you use and access our website. While we do not use browsing information to identify you personally, we may record certain information about your use of our website, such as which pages you visit, the time and date of your visit and the internet protocol address assigned to your computer.

Our website uses both persistent and session cookies. A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either persistent cookies or session cookies and are described below:

• a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; and
• a session cookie will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

We may also use cookies to enable us to collect data that may include personal information. For
example, where a cookie is linked to your account, it will be considered personal information under the Privacy Act. We will handle any personal information collected by cookies in the same way that we handle all other personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may be able to change the settings of your browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to your computer, giving you the choice whether to accept it or not. You may also delete cookies at the end of your browser session. Refusing or deleting cookies will have a negative impact on the usability of many websites.

We may hold your personal information in either electronic or hard copy form. We use a variety of physical and electronic security measures to keep your personal information secure from misuse, interference, loss or unauthorised use or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. The internet is not a secure environment. If you do use the internet to send us any information, including your email address please be aware that it will be sent at your own risk.

Our website may include hyperlinks to, and details of third party websites. Those links are provided for convenience and may not remain current or be maintained. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we have no control over, and are not responsible for, the privacy policies and practices of third parties. The privacy policies that apply to those other websites may differ substantially from our Privacy Policy, so we encourage individuals to read them before using those websites.

• request access to personal information we hold about you;
• ask us to update or correct any information that is inaccurate, incomplete or outdated; and
• opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us.

You can do any of these things by contacting us using the contact details on our website.

If you request access to your personal information or ask us to correct or update information about you, we may need verify your identity. In some circumstances, there may be a valid reason for us to deny your request to access or correct your information. If we deny your request, we will explain why.
