page address of www.unionsaustralia.com.au.
The purpose of this statement is to let you know
What information is collected about you when you visit Unions Australia
How this information is used
To whom it is disclosed
Your ability to have any incorrect personal information amended.
Our goal is to provide you with a satisfying experience while allowing you to control

Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000.
A plain language description of the information that is collected. The Unions Australia
site collects two types of information. The first type is anonymous information.
The web server managed by
Creative Factory
makes a record of your visit and logs of the following information for statistical
purposes:
the user's server address,
the user's top level domain name (eg. com, .gov, .net, .au, etc.),
the date and time of the visit to the site,
the pages accessed and documents downloaded,
the previous site visited, and
the type of browser used.
No attempt will be made to identify users or their browsing activities except, in
the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise
a warrant to inspect the internet service provider's logs. The second type of information
that Unions Australia collects is personal information. Personal information is
requested in order to provide personalised and enhanced services that are not available
to anonymous users. Personal information requested in this site includes:
We will record your e-mail address if you send us a message, subscribe to an email
newsletter, or complete a form this information is requested. If subscribing to
an email newsletter you may "unsubscribe" at any time from the newsletter mailing
list. Email addresses will not be added to any other mailing lists. We will not
disclose your email address without your consent unless required to by law.
The site includes forms where name, address, contact and financial details are requested.
In these cases personal details are required to enable subsequent contact with you
and/or to enable authentication of the information provided. We will not collect
or solicit personal information via this site which would be unlawful, unnecessary
or unrelated to the functions or activities of Unions Australia, or unfair or unreasonably
intrusive. Because there are risks associated with using the Internet as a transmission
medium, when we use electronic forms to collect information we will also provide
you with other options for providing the information - for example, a paper form
and mailing address and a telephone contact.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about
the user. Cookies are used on this site but we do not track user behaviour or store
any personal information within the cookies.
We will only use the personal information you have chosen to provide us for the
purpose for which you provided it. We will not use it for any other purpose without
your consent. There may be occasions where it will be necessary for Unions Australia
to disclose your personal information to third parties. Unions Australia may be
required by law to disclose the information, or may be required to disclose your
personal information to third parties to provide the service you have requested.
For example, if you purchase products online from Unions Australia will need to
disclose your personal information to third parties in order to authorise and process
credit card transactions. Under no circumstances will Unions Australia sell or receive
payment for licensing or disclosing your personal information.
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that all information we collect, use or
disclose is accurate, complete, up-to-date and stored in a secure environment accessed
only by authorised persons. [Only use following where known to be done] Transmissions
sent to or from Unions Australia are routinely monitored for quality control and
systems administration.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. While we strive to protect your personal information from misuse, loss and
unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit
to us or receive from our web site. These activities are conducted at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security.
If Unions Australia holds your personal information Unions Australia will where
possible provide you with access to the information. We will take reasonable steps
to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date. To request
any corrections please email us or contact us by telephone or mail at the contact
information listed below.
This Privacy Statement applies only to Unions Australia and not to other companies'
or organisations' websites to which it is linked. We encourage you to read the privacy
statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
