Sunshine Towers understands and shares your interest
and concern about how your personal information is collected,
used and shared and we are committed to comply with
the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988 as amended by the
Privacy Amendment Act 2000 and consistent with the National
Privacy Principles as amended in September 2001 in relation
to all privacy issues in connection with the use of
this web site. We wish to protect the privacy of users
of this web site.
We recognise the importance of protecting the privacy
of information collected about visitors to our sites,
in particular information that is capable of identifying
an individual ("personal information"). This
Internet Privacy Policy governs the manner in which
your personal information, obtained through the web
site, will be dealt with. This Privacy Policy should
be reviewed frequently so that you are updated on any
changes.
Personal information about visitors to our sites is
collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted.
For example, we may need to collect such information
to provide you with further services or to answer or
forward any requests or enquiries. It is our intention
that this policy will protect your personal information
from being dealt with in any way that is inconsistent
with applicable privacy laws in Australia.
In the course of providing our services, we collect
personal information in a variety of ways. For example,
information is collected when you:
* send us an email
* ask to be placed on one of our mailing lists,
* apply for a job with us,
* make an enquiry about our services,
* visit our web site, or
* become a client or debtor of the company.
This is information provided by you and you provide
most of the personal information directly to us and
for a specific purpose. You are not obliged to provide
any information to us, however the information you choose
to give enables us to service your needs more adequately
by providing our services and replies to your queries
or requests for service.
Information that you provide us about yourself and about
the types of property you may be interested in purchasing
or leasing is treated with the strictest confidence.
This information is securely stored and is only accessible
by authorised employees of Sunshine Towers who also
ensure that your personal information is protected and
safeguarded.
Personal information that visitors submit to our sites
is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted
unless we disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy
Policy or at the time of collection. Copies of correspondence
sent from the web site, that may contain personal information,
are stored as archives for record-keeping and back-up
purposes only. You should be aware that we, and authorised
representatives of Sunshine Towers, may use your email
address to contact you in the future or use information
provided to respond to your requests for service. We
will not sell or pass on your details to third parties.
We may sometimes use the personal information we collect
for a secondary purpose, that is, for use in a way different
from the original reason for collection. We will only
do this in the following circumstances:
* where you have consented, or
* where the secondary purpose is directly related to
the primary purpose, and
* you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose
the information in such a way, or
* where we are permitted or required by law, or it is
in the interests of public safety to do so.
These are bits of information that the web site puts
on to your computer hard drive for tracking user navigation
and customising web site information to improve user
participation. Internet browsers are frequently already
set to accept cookies. The cookies acts as a memory
for you and remembers details about you so you do not
have to enter the same information over again every
time you access the site. However you do not have to
accept the cookies and you may opt out and refuse to
have them transferred to your computer hard drive. You
may also set your Internet browser to warn when cookies
are being used. Further information is available from
your internet browser provider if required.
You can also request that we let you know what personal
information we hold about you or that information about
you be corrected or deleted. This is part of our commitment
to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information
we hold about you is accurate, complete and up to date.
We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy
of personal information submitted to our site. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be totally secure.
However, we will endeavour to take all reasonable steps
to protect the personal information you may transmit
to us or from our online products and services. Once
we do receive your transmission, we will also make our
best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide
services related to our information systems are obliged
to respect the confidentiality of any personal information
held by us. However, we will not be held responsible
for events arising from unauthorised access to your
personal information.
We provide links to Web sites outside of our
web site, as well as to third party Web sites. These
linked sites are not under our control, and we cannot
accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked
to our website. Before disclosing your personal information
on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms
and conditions of using that Web site and its privacy
statement.
