Privacy
The following is SA Unions Privacy Statement in
regard to this website.
Application and Ownership
SA Unions is the
legal owner of this web site. This privacy
statement applies to the web site with a home
page address of
www.saunions.org.au. SA Unions is the sole
owner of the information collected on this
website.
Purpose of the Privacy Statement
The purpose of this
statement is to let you know what information is
collected about you when you visit the SA Unions
website, how this information is used, to whom
it is disclosed, and your ability to have any
incorrect personal information amended. Our goal
is to provide you with a satisfying experience
while allowing you to control your privacy and
to give you a means to voice any questions or
concerns you may have. This statement has been
prepared in accordance with the Australian
Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000.
Commitment to Privacy
SA Unions is
strongly committed to protecting your privacy
while interacting with our site. We want to
provide a safe and secure environment for both
adults and children. Information is collected
from you primarily to make it easier and more
rewarding for you to use our services. Depending
on the service you are accessing, you could be
asked to provide information such as your name,
email address or information about what you like
and do not like. It is entirely your choice
whether to respond to these questions or not. We
will only use any 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.
The
Information Collected
The SA Unions web
site may collect two types of information.
The first type is
anonymous information. The web server may make a
record of your visit and log the following
information for statistical purposes which can
include:
-
user's server
address
-
user's top level
domain name (eg com, .gov, .net, .au, etc)
-
date and time of
the visit to the site
-
pages accessed
and documents downloaded
-
previous site
visited, and
-
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 the SA Unions website 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:
Email
Address
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.
Name and
Address
The site includes
forms where name and address is 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 SA Unions, 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.
Use
of Cookies
A cookie is a piece
of data stored on the user's computer tied to
information about the user. Cookies are not used
on your site.
How
information is Used
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 SA Unions to disclose your
personal information to third parties. SA Unions
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 the SA Unions
website will need to disclose your personal
information to third parties in order to
authorise and process credit card transactions.
Under no circumstances will SA Unions sell or
receive payment for licensing or disclosing your
personal information.
Commitment to Data Security
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.
Transmissions sent to or from SA Unions are
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.
How
Users can Access and Correct their Personal
Information
If the SA Unions
website holds your personal information SA
Unions 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 contact the
saunions@saunions.org.au or, contact us by
telephone or postal mail at the contact
information listed below.

Statement applies only to the SA Unions website

Children's Privacy
The safety of
children is very important to us. Whilst SA
Unions makes every reasonable effort to ensure
that children's privacy and other rights are not
compromised, it is ultimately the responsibility
of parents to monitor their children's Internet
usage.
What
else you should know about privacy

your browser and log-out of your internet
connection when you have finished your 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.
