Welcome to BizComRate’s Privacy Policy. Your privacy is very important to us. You must read and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy before using BizComRate.com.au. As part of the normal operation of our services we collect, use and, in some cases, may disclose information about you to third parties upon your authorisation. This Privacy Policy governs the information we collect about you and your use of information we provide to you. By accepting this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal information in the manner prescribed in this Privacy Policy. Also you may wish to refer to the Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner which may be contacted at the following site: http://www.privacy.gov.au for more information on the Privacy Act. Table of Contents Children's use of this siteInformation we collect Our use of your information Our disclosure of your information Legal requests Security Notices Children's use of this site Persons under the age of 16 years are not eligible to use this site unless under the supervision of parents or guardians. Information We Collect Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to ensure that authors of the ratings and comments are bona fide and not using aliases. This allows us to provide accurate and reliable information to other users. We only collect personal information about you that we consider necessary for this purpose and to achieve this goal. We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of our Site. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing customised services. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to access certain features on our Site, from time to time, and you may be required to reenter your password more frequently when required. If you choose to leave comments in our commentary box or other message areas or leave feedback for other users, we will collect and store such information that you disclose to us and which is necessary for us to achieve our primary goal described above. If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you. Our Use of Your Information We use personal information about you (including but not limited to the information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Site) to ensure that you are a proper person and not an alias. You agree that we may use personal information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyse site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and customise our Site's content, layout, and services. These uses improve our Site and better tailor it to meet your needs, so as to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customised experience while using our services. You agree that we may use your information to contact you and deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as a business wishing to pass on their replies to your comments and ratings, product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Site. By accepting the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy you expressly agree to receive this information. If you do not wish to receive these communications, we encourage you to email our Contact Us address and so advise of your wish not to receive them. Our Disclosure of Your Information Although BizComRate uses industry standard practices to protect your personal information, due to technical limitations, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances such as Court Orders or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we cannot and do not guarantee, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. As a matter of policy, we do not sell or rent any personal information about you to any third party.
Legal Requests. BizComRate may lawfully disclose your personal information for law enforcement or regulatory purposes. BizComRate cooperates with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws, intellectual property and other rights. We can (and you authorise us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other governmental officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary, appropriate or as otherwise permitted under the Privacy Act 1988 (C’th), in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, piracy or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. We can disclose your name, street address, city, state, post code, country, phone number, and email.
Security We use industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. Notice We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time based on your comments and our need to accurately reflect our data collection and disclosure practices. All changes to this policy are effective after the change and you are encouraged to view the Privacy statement each time you use the site and accept the Terms and Conditions |
