Vircom Pty Ltd is committed to protecting the privacy
of its visitors to its website - www.vircom.com.au.
We have written this Privacy Statement in order
to describe and explain to visitors to our site our privacy
and information collection practice. If you have any questions
or concerns in connection with Vircom's privacy and information
collection practice summarised in this Privacy Statement, please
send an email, with the subject heading "Privacy Statement
Question", stating your questions or concerns, to:
privacy@vircom.com.au
What Information Is Collected?
To participate in certain activities and to obtain certain
services offered on this web site, a visitor is asked to
provide varying amounts of personal information. Some
information is mandatory while other information is
discretionary. We endeavour to limit our requests for
personal information to information we believe is minimally
necessary to achieve our stated collection purposes. Clients
using our web based reporting products are provided with
exclusive passwords and IDs to manage the use of those
products and to ensure the secure transmission of those
services.
How Does Vircom Use My Information?
Personal information is collected and used primarily
for such purposes as, for example, facilitating purchases
online, processing a visitor’s job resume, or considering
partnership applications. In particular, a visitor’s shipping
and invoice addresses are used for fulfilling purchase orders
and for debiting the visitor's credit card. In addition to the
primary purposes for which personal information is collected,
we may use the personal information to contact a visitor to
confirm information related to a purchase order or to advise
a visitor if an item for purchase is on back order. We may
also use a visitor’s email address or phone number: We do
not sell, rent, share, or otherwise dispose of the personal
information collected on our web site to third parties. We
may, however, disclose your personal information when
required by law or in the good-faith belief that such
disclosure is necessary to comply with law. We use non-personal
information such as demographic data to analyze and develop
our marketing strategies. We use non-personal information to
determine how you found out about us, what your interests are
regarding our services, and how to further improve our site.
How Can I Opt-Out?
We provide a visitor with the opportunity to opt-out from
receiving updates on new products, newsletters, and other
promotional materials. The opt-out option may be exercised
during the registration process by clicking on the "NO"
button when asked if you wish to receive information in the
future. If you have not exercised the opt-out option during
the initial registration process, you can opt-out later by
sending an email, with the subject heading "Privacy Statement
Opt-Out," to privacy@vircom.com.au.
In the email, you should request the opt-out option.
What Are Cookies and How Does Vircom Use Them?
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your
browser from a web server and stored on your computer's
hard drive. We use "cookie" technology for several purposes.
First, we use it to track general information about our visitors.
The information collected through cookies is non-personal information
and we use this information for statistical and market research
purposes. We also use cookies to establish a link between your
computer and us.
Does Our Privacy Policy Apply to Linked Websites?
Our Privacy Statement applies solely to information collection
practice on the Vircom website. This site contains links to other
sites. Please be aware that Vircom has no control or influence
over the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
visitors to be aware when they leave to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that they visit.
How Does Vircom Secure Data Transmission?
Different schemes are used to secure transmissions based on the
type of data being managed and the level of security required
by a visitor or a user. We use industry standard, SSL (secure
socket layer) encryption and incorporate systems from SecureID
where Public Key encryption is required for complete end to end
security.
Changes to this Privacy Statement
From time to time we may need to change our Privacy Statement
because of changes to our business, or in our attempts to
serve your needs better. We will endeavour to post those
changes on our homepage so our visitors are always aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
