STANSKI CONSULTING Pty Ltd

Protecting Your Online Privacy

Personal Information Collection
Stanski Consulting is committed to providing you with the highest levels of customer service. This includes protecting your privacy. From 21 December 2001, we are bound by new sections of the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988, which set out a number of principles concerning the protection of your personal information.

This statement sets out important information about privacy protections, which we extend to your personal information. It relates to personal information that you provide to us through our websites (eg when you subscribe to our online services).

How we collect personal information
Stanski Consulting collects personal information in a number of ways, including:

Directly from you, such as when you enter your personal details on our websites (eg during registration or application for products and services), when you provide information by phone or in documents such as an application form; from third parties such as our related companies, credit reporting agencies or your representatives; from publicly available sources of information; from our own records of how you use your Stanski Consulting services.

How we use your personal information
Your personal information may be used to:

• Identify you and to assist you to subscribe to our website services more easily provide the services you require
• Administer and manage those services, including charging, billing and collecting debts
• Gain an understanding of your information and communication needs in order for us to provide you with better, more personalised services that are tailored to your needs
• Inform you of ways the services provided to you could be improved
• Conduct appropriate checks for credit-worthiness and for fraud
• Research and develop our services
• Maintain and develop our business systems and infrastructure, including testing and upgrading of these systems

Your personal information is also collected to promote and market to you other services which we consider may be of interest to you. Before we do so, we will provide you with an opportunity to give us permission to send you marketing or promotional material (such as promotional email offers), via an opt-in mechanism. That is, we will send you such material only if you elect to receive it or if it is provided to you in response to your request. You may also notify us at any time that you do not wish to receive marketing or promotional material by contacting us using the Contact Us page on the Stanski.com website.

Stanski Consulting Websites
Stanski Consulting provides a range of web-based services, either through a particular division within Stanski Consulting or through one of our related companies. Most of these services are provided on the Stanski Consulting.com web site, which consists of three main web addresses (known as 'domains') - stanski.com, compactframework.org and compactframework.info, as well as other affiliated domains. We refer to these as "our websites".

The marketing information provided on our websites will be determined by where you decide to visit on the site. Advertisements will also be presented to you, but the placement of these is not related specifically to any details we hold about you.

Personal information collected from our websites
The types of personal information we collect from you will depend on how you use our web sites. Such information may include your name, date of birth, gender, current and previous addresses, telephone/mobile phone number, email address, bank account or credit card details, occupation, driver's licence number and your Stanski Consulting username or password. We may also collect details of your Stanski Consulting services (including their status) and your personal interests.

If you choose not to provide personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the services you require, or the level of service on which we pride ourselves.

Other information
Our websites record other information as well. This information is used to improve the structure and performance of those sites to provide users with an improved service. Whenever a page is requested from our web servers, we record the time, date and URL of the request, along with information on the browser software that is being used.
Stanski Consulting uses "cookies". Cookies are pieces of information that a web site can transfer to an individual's computer hard drive for record keeping. Cookies can make using our websites easier by storing information about your preferences on a particular website. This will enable you to take full advantage of the services we offer. The use of cookies is an industry standard and you'll find most major websites use them. Most Internet browsers are pre-set to accept cookies. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your Internet browser to disable cookies or to warn you when cookies are being used.

Stanski Consulting gathers usage information from our websites and other websites.

This is aggregated for reporting purposes. Personally identifiable characteristics are removed and users remain anonymous. This data is gathered by us to examine Internet trends and demographics and to assist in improving the structure and ease of use of our websites.

When we disclose your personal information
For the purposes set out above we may disclose your personal information to organisations outside Stanski Consulting. Where appropriate, these disclosures are subject to privacy and confidentiality protections, and Australian Privacy Laws.

If you wish to access or modify personal information which you have provided via our websites, but cannot access that information at our websites, please send us an email using the Contact Us page on the Stanski.com website.

You can access your personal information
You have a right to access your personal information, subject to some exceptions allowed by law. If you would like to do so, please let us know by sending an email using the Contact Us page on the Stanski.com website. In some cases, you may be required to put your request in writing for security reasons. Stanski Consulting reserves the right to charge a fee for searching for and providing access to your information.

Security of your information
We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is stored securely. Transmissions sent to or from our websites 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 online products or services. These activities are conducted at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security.

What else you should know about privacy
Remember to close your browser when you have finished your user session. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe. You as an individual are responsible for the security of and access to your own computer.

Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information over the Internet (for example: in discussion forums, via email, or in chat sites) that this information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information in publicly accessible online forums, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your username and passwords and any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are using the Internet and our group of websites.
