Privacy Policy
Australian Home Away (AHA) respects your right to privacy. We are bound
by the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy
Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000. Those Principles
regulate how we collect, store and disclose personal
information about you and other individuals.
Australian Home Away
(“We”, “our”, “us” and
"AHA" in this Privacy Policy). By using this
site, you agree to the Privacy Policy of our AHA web
site (“the web site”), which is set out below. The Privacy
Policy relates to the collection and use of personal
information you may supply to us through your conduct on the
web site.
We reserve the right, at our discretion,
to modify or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any
time. This Privacy Policy is in addition to any other terms
and conditions applicable to our AHA web site. We do
not make any representations about third party web sites
that may be linked to the 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 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. We welcome your comments and
feedback.
What kind of personal information AHA collects
and how it is collected
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.
Disclosure
Apart from where you have consented or disclosure is
necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was submitted,
personal information may be disclosed in special situations
where we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against anyone
damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally or
unintentionally) with our rights or property, users, or
anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Also, we
may disclose personal information when we believe in good
faith that the law requires disclosure.
Security of Information
We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy
of personal information submitted to our sites, and we
review and update our security measures in light of current
technologies. 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.
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.
