Toorak Village Privacy Policy July 18th 2007 Toorak Village recognizes that your privacy is important. This document outlines the types of personal information we receive and collect when you register on our website (as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard information). We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing personal information with us. Personal information and other data we collect 1. Toorak Village collects personal information when you register (see Join Our Mailing List under the Village Life menu) to receive our email newsletters and notices or otherwise voluntarily provide such information. Personal information is information that you provide to us which personally identifies you, such as your name, email address or billing information, or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Toorak Village. We may combine personal information collected from you with information from other services or third parties to provide a better user experience, including customizing content for you. We will not collect or use sensitive information for other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent. 2. Toorak Village uses cookies and other technologies to enhance your online experience and to learn about how you use our services in order to improve the quality of our services. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information and most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends, such as how people search. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies. 3. Our servers automatically record information when you visit our website or use some of our products, including the URL, IP address, browser type and language, and the date and time of your request. For certain services, we also request credit card or other payment account information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers. Information security We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. We restrict access to personal information to Toorak Village employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations. Data integrity Toorak Vilage processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary. Uses 1. We may use personal information to provide the services you've requested, including services that display customized content and advertising. 2. We may also use personal information for auditing, research and analysis to operate and improve our technologies and services. 3. We may occasionally gather aggregate non-personal information from third parties. “Aggregate non-personal information" is information that is recorded about users and collected into groups so that it no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user. 4. When we use third parties to assist us in processing your personal information, we require that they comply with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. 5. We may also share information with third parties in limited circumstances, including when complying with legal process, preventing fraud or imminent harm, and ensuring the security of our network and services. Your choices 1. We offer you choices when we ask for personal information, (for instance, you may not wish to enter your date of birth) whenever reasonably possible. You can find more information about your choices in the privacy notices or FAQs for specific services. 2. You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features or services may not function properly as a result. 3. We make good faith efforts to provide you access to your personal information upon request and to let you correct such data if it is inaccurate and delete it, when reasonably possible. Changes to this policy Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will post any Policy changes on this page. Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date More information For more information about our privacy practices, please contact us on info@toorakvillage.com.au or write to us at: Privacy Matters c/o Toorak Village Traders Association P.O.Box 14 Toorak Vic 3142 |
