GTCONN Web site Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting www.gtconn.com.au . This Web
site is owned and operated by Global Trading
Connections (ABN 82 462 020 192) and its affiliates
(together referred to as “GTCONN” in this Privacy
Policy), who have agreed to abide by this privacy
policy.
We are committed to protecting and safeguarding your
privacy on the Internet. This Web site endeavours to
collect, maintain, and secure your personal
information in accordance with the principles
described within this policy and with the National
Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988
(Cth). Links to this privacy policy can be found on
the homepage of this Web site and on any part of a
site where personally identifiable information, such
as name, address, and/or e-mail address is
requested. At such data collection points, further
explanation may be provided, where appropriate, as
to the purposes for which the data will be used, or
where deviations from this general Policy are
explained. This Policy, coupled with any
supplementary explanation, is designed to provide
privacy protection tailored to the individual
visitor to or user of this Web site. This policy
applies only to information collected on this Web
site, and does not apply to information collected in
other areas, whether online or offline.
Use of Data
Anonymous Data
Most of the information that we collect from
this Web site is anonymous information, such as the
pages you visit and searches you perform. Other
anonymous data we may collect might include the name
of your Internet service provider, the Web site that
you used to link to our site, the Web sites that you
visit from our site, and your IP address. The data
is used for statistical purposes, but you as the
individual user remain anonymous. We use this
anonymous information to help improve the content of
the site and to compile aggregate statistics about
individuals using our site for internal market
research purposes.
Personally Identifiable Information Data
When you visit our Web site we do not collect any
personally identifiable information from you without
your permission. Portions of this Web site may not
require any form of registration, allowing you to
visit our site without telling us who you are.
However, some or all areas of services may require
you to register in order to access them. When you
register with us, you may need to complete certain
fields (some are required and some are optional), as
well as choose a username and password. In these
situations, if you choose to withhold any personally
identifiable information requested by us, it may not
be possible for you to gain access to certain parts
of the site and for us to respond to your query.
Anytime you choose to provide personally
identifiable information to us through this Web
site, we will tell you why the information is being
requested and for what purposes it will be used. For
example, we may collect and use personally
identifiable information to provide you with
information regarding our products or services, to
market products and services which we think may be
of interest to you based upon information you have
shared with us, or to communicate with you for other
purposes.
Confidentiality/Security
You should keep in mind that no Internet
transmission is ever completely secure or
error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from
this site may not be secure, and you therefore
should take special care in deciding what
information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover,
where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other
special access features on this site, it is your
responsibility to safeguard them.
While we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse
or alteration to data, we reasonably try to prevent
such unfortunate occurrences. We take reasonable
precautions to protect personal information in our
possession from loss, misuse and unauthorised
access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. To
reduce the risk of any unauthorised viewing of your
personally identifiable information, the amount and
type of information we transmit to your browser when
you are at our internet sites and using our
applications is limited. As a further protection,
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted transmission is
used to collect certain categories of personal
information such as credit card or account
information and driver licence numbers if required
for use of a service on this Web site.
Disclosure and Data Transfer
The personally identifiable information that you
provide via this Web site will be available to
Global Trading Connections and may also be available
to its affiliates, some of whom may be situated
outside Australia (Global Trading Connections and
its affiliates are together referred to in this
Privacy Policy as “GTCONN”). Your personally
identifiable information may also be available to
companies working as agents on behalf of GTCONN
(such as companies that collect and process your
information for us as well as companies that fulfill
your requests for more information about our
products or other services). Some of these companies
may be situated outside Australia. GTCONN has sought
assurances by contract from these companies that
they will only use this information at our
direction, in a manner that is consistent with this
policy. These companies are also required to sign a
confidentiality agreement that prohibits them from
selling this information to anyone else. Where
GTCONN has knowledge that a service provider or an
agent is using or disclosing personal information in
a manner contrary to this policy, GTCONN will take
reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or
disclosure. GTCONN will not disclose your personally
identifiable information to any parties other than
these companies, except where authorised or required
to by law, or where we otherwise have obtained your
consent to the disclosure.
In the event of a sale, assignment, or other
transfer of the business to which the information of
this Web site relates, the information may be
transferred to any such buyer of this property, in
which case we will require any such buyer to agree
to treat your information in a manner consistent
with this privacy policy.
Links
As a convenience to our visitors, our Internet sites
contain links to a number of sites that we believe
may offer useful information. The policies and
procedures we described here do not apply to those
sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly
for information on their privacy, security, data
collection, and distribution policies.
Cookies and Internet Tags
A "cookie" is a small piece of information that is
sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s
hard drive. For some personal registration features,
where permitted by law, we use cookies to remember
your selections. If you have shared personally
identified information, such as e-mail address or
username, we may include a portion of this in the
cookies so that we can recognize you and remember
your selections when you return to the Web site.
Cookies by themselves cannot be used to discover the
specific identity of the user. Cookies do not damage
your computer. You can set your browser to notify
you when you receive a cookie; this will enable you
to decide if you want to accept it or not. On some
Internet properties we may use Internet tags (also
known as action tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs and 1-by-1 GIFs) in combination with
cookies at this site and may deploy these tags
through a third-party advertising partner. These
tags are placed on both online advertisements that
bring users to the site and on different pages of
the site. We use this technology to measure the
visitors’ responses to our sites and the
effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
(including how many times a page is opened and which
information is consulted). The third-party partner
may be able to collect anonymous aggregated data
about visitors to other sites because of these
Internet tags/cookies. Please be assured that we DO
NOT collect or seek through these tags or cookies
any personally identifiable information about our
visitors, such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses
or telephone numbers.
Spamming
GTCONN does not condone "spamming". "Spamming" is
sending unsolicited e-mail, usually of a commercial
nature, in large numbers and repeatedly to
individuals with whom the sender has had no previous
contact or who have declined to receive such
communications.
We will contact you by e-mail only where you have
previously allowed your name and address to be used
by GTCONN for such mailings.
Personal Information and Children
We will not knowingly collect, use or disclose
personally identifiable information from a minor
under the age of 16, without obtaining prior consent
from a person with parental responsibility (eg, a
parent or guardian) through direct or off-line
contact.
If you discover that your child has provided us with
personally identifiable information, we ask that a
parent or guardian of the child contact us at:
Global Trading Connections
PO Box 109
Epping
NSW 1710 Australia
Upon contact and proof of relevant identity, we will
provide the parent with (i) notice of the specific
types of personally identifiable information being
collected from the minor, and (ii) the opportunity
to object to any further collection, use, or storage
of such information.
Contact Information
You have certain rights to access or correct the
personal information that GTCONN has collected from
you through its Web site, and you may cancel your
authorisation for future use of your personal data
at any time, by contacting us at the address below:
Global Trading Connections
PO Box 109
Epping
NSW 1710 Australia
In addition, certain GTCONN internet sites also
enable you to access and update your profile or
other pieces of personal information online.
When you contact us, please note the name of this
Web site where you provided the information, as well
as the contact information (eg, username, e-mail
address, postal address) that you provided at that
time.
We will use reasonable efforts to promptly respond
to any requests, questions or concerns you may have
regarding our use of your personal information.
This Web site is intended for access and use by
Australian residents only and is subject to all
applicable Australian laws.
This privacy policy is effective as of 28 February,
2007. By using this site, you signify your assent to
our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right, at our
discretion, to change, modify, add or remove
portions from this policy at any time. Please refer
to this page from time to time to review these and
other new features. Your continued use of our site
following the postings of changes to these terms
means you accept these changes.
