Parkview understands and shares your interest and concern about how your personal information is collected, used and shared and we are committed to comply with the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988 as amended by the Privacy Amendment Act 2000 and consistent with the National Privacy Principles as amended in September 2001 in relation to all privacy issues in connection with the use of this web site. We wish to protect the privacy of users of this web site.

We recognise the importance of protecting the privacy of information collected about visitors to our sites, in particular information that is capable of 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 frequently 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:

• respond to our Tenders, or any other form
• send us an email
• 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.

This is information provided by you and you provide most of the personal information directly to us and for a specific purpose. You are not obliged to provide any information to us, however the information you choose to give enables us to service your needs more adequately by providing our services and replies to your queries or requests for service.

Information that you provide us about yourself and about the types of property you may be interested in purchasing or leasing is treated with the strictest confidence. This information is securely stored and is only accessible by authorised employees of Parkview who also ensure that your personal information is protected and safeguarded.

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 unless we disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. Copies of correspondence sent from the web site, that may contain personal information, are stored as archives for record-keeping and back-up purposes only. You should be aware that we, and authorised representatives of Parkview, may use your email address to contact you in the future or use information provided to respond to your requests for service. 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, or
• 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.

Cookies

These are bits of information that the web site puts on to your computer hard drive for tracking user navigation and customising web site information to improve user participation. Internet browsers are frequently already set to accept cookies. The cookies acts as a memory for you and remembers details about you so you do not have to enter the same information over again every time you access the site. However you do not have to accept the cookies and you may opt out and refuse to have them transferred to your computer hard drive. You may also set your Internet browser to warn when cookies are being used. Further information is available from your internet browser provider if required.

Accessing Personal Information Held About You or Correcting Your Personal Information

You can also request that we let you know what personal information we hold about you or 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. You may contact us on (02) 9206 1500, visit our office at Suite 3, 2 Wentworth Park Road, Glebe NSW 2037, fax us on (02) 9206 1599 or email us on enquiries@parkviewgroup.com.au regarding your personal information held by us.

Security

We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information submitted to our site. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.

However, we will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information you may transmit to us or from our online products and services. Once we do receive your transmission, we will also make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems. All information is protected by a security password system.

In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us. However, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.

Links to other sites

We provide links to Web sites outside of our web site, as well as to third party Web sites. These linked sites are not under our control, and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked to our website. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using that Web site and its privacy statement.
