Privacy and Security Policy

2508: District News, published by The Word Bureau Pty Ltd - Privacy and Security Policy

Introduction

At The Word Bureau Pty Ltd, we regard privacy as an important part of our relationship with our customers, contributors, advertisers and suppliers. We are bound by Australian privacy laws. This privacy policy applies to all Word Bureau Pty Ltd  customers, contributors, advertisers and suppliers.

Collection and Use of Information

In order for us to provide, develop and enhance our products and services and to communicate with and respond to requests from you, we may require personal information from you. We may use your personal information for other purposes, however this will only occur if you reasonably expect us to use the personal information for that other purpose and it is related to the original purpose of collection.

Correspondence may be collected and stored, particularly in regard to sales, support and accounts, including email correspondence. Any information collected by us is collected via correspondence or other communication with you or your organisation. This may be via the telephone, email, mail, fax or through our website.

If you request that we deal with you either anonymously or using a pseudonym, we may be unable to provide you with our products and services.

Storage and Security of Collected Information

The security of your personal information is important to us and we take reasonable steps to maintain that security.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

For example, when you provide information such as credit card numbers on our website, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). When credit card details are collected, we pass them on in order to be processed as required and we never permanently store complete credit card details. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

If you have any questions about our data security, you can email us at editor@2508mag.com.au

We cannot guarantee that your personal information will be protected against unauthorised access or misuse, and do not accept any liability for the improper actions of unauthorised third parties.

In relation to the internet, while we use reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, transmissions made by means of the internet cannot be made absolutely secure. We assume no responsibility for disclosure of data due to errors in transmission or by unauthorised third parties.

You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.
