identifying an individual ("personal information"). This Internet Privacy Policy
governs the manner in which your personal information, obtained through the web
site, will be dealt with. This Privacy Policy should be reviewed periodically so
that you are updated on any changes.
Your Personal Information
Personal information about visitors to our
sites is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. For example,
we may need to collect such information to provide you with further services or
to answer or forward any requests or enquiries. It is our intention that this
policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way
that is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.
How We Collect Personal Information
In the course of providing our
services, we collect personal information in a variety of ways. For example,
information is collected when you:
ask to be placed on one of our mailing lists,
apply for a job with us,
make an enquiry about our services,
visit our web site, or
become a client or debtor of the company.
Information provided by you
You provide most of the personal information
directly to us and for a specific purpose.
How we use the information we collect
Personal information that visitors
submit to our sites is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted

you in the future. We will not sell or pass on your details to third parties.
Use of the information for a secondary purpose
We may sometimes use the
personal information we collect for a secondary purpose, that is, for use in a
way different from the original reason for collection. We will only do this in
the following circumstances:
where you have consented,
where the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose, and
you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way,
or
where we are permitted or required by law, or it is in the interests of
public safety to do so.
Correcting information
You can also request that information about you
be corrected or deleted. This is part of our commitment to take all reasonable
steps to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate, complete and
up-to-date.
