At the Scottish Australian Heritage Council we collect different types of information about our users for the following main reasons:
1. To provide an interactive web site where email is used to communicate with the users
2. To provide a security mechanism whereby we can restrict content to certain groups of users
3. To help us to improve the service we offer.
Our principles
We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. Our policy can be summarised in one sentence: we will not share your information with others without your consent.
We have established the following two principles:
1. We will respect your email privacy. You will only receive email from the Scottish Australian Heritage Council in relation to areas you have expressly signed up for
2. We will not share any individual user details (including your email address) to any third party without your consent.
What information do we collect?
We collect information on our users through registration, membership and the sale of raffle tickets and merchandise where agreement to further contact is agred by you in the process of a sale.
The minimum information we need to register a user is your first and last name, your postal address, including post code, and a password.
Who will have access to your information?
You have control over who is able to access specific items of information. By default your information will not be visible to anyone else using the site. You can change these settings from your personal profile page.
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 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 usernames and passwords and any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are using the internet.
