I am committed to safeguarding the privacy of my website visitors; this policy sets out how I will treat your personal information.
(1) Credit
This document is based on an SEQ Legal form available at Website Law. Premium precedents available from SEQ Legal include a template offer letter.
(2) What information do I collect?
I may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
(a) information that you provide to me for the purpose of registering with me (including for the purpose of commenting on any of my posts);
(b) information that you provide to me for the purpose of subscribing to my website services, email notifications and/or newsletters ; and
(c) any other information that you choose to send to me.
(3) Using your personal information
Personal information submitted to me via this website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.
I may use your personal information to:
(a) administer the website;
(b) send you general (non-marketing) commercial communications;
(c) send you email notifications which you have specifically requested; and
(d) send to you a newsletter and other marketing communications relating to my business which I think may be of interest to you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or similar technology (you can inform me at any time if you no longer require marketing communications).
Where you submit personal information for publication on my website, I will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to me.
(4) Disclosures
I may disclose your personal information:
(a) to the extent that I am required to do so by law;
(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend my legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk);
(d) to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset which I am (or am contemplating) selling; and
(e) to any person who I reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal information where, in my reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal information.
Except as provided in this privacy policy, I will not provide your information to third parties.
(5) Security of your personal information
I will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and I cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
(6) Policy amendments
I may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
(7) Your rights
You may instruct me to provide you with any personal information I hold about you. Provision of such information will be subject to:
(a) the payment of a fee (currently fixed at AUD10.00); and
(b) the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, I will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address).
I may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.
You may instruct me not to process your personal information for marketing purposes by email at any time. In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to my use of your personal information for marketing purposes, or I will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes.
(8) Third party websites
The website contains links to other websites. I am not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third party websites.
(9) Updating information
Please let me know if the personal information which I hold about you needs to be corrected or updated.
