ICT Security Pty Limited is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 and in particular within National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act.

We do not disclose any personal or billing information such as contact or account information provided to us by you or your company.

Our Contact information is available at https://www.ictsecurity.com.au/contact-us/.

The Information Collected by ICT Security Pty Limited and why we collect it

There are two types of information collected; Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

a) Personally Identifiable Information (“personal information”) is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, email address, contact details and, if necessary, your credit or debit card numbers and other billing information. We may obtain credit information about you from a credit reporting agency or from a credit provider.

As a general rule we do not collect personal sensitive information. Personal sensitive information is only obtained when you voluntarily provide the information to us. ICT Security Pty Limited uses personal sensitive information for validation and to provide you with better service.

As Visitors navigate or interact with ICT Security Pty Limited’s Web sites, ICT Security Pty Limited may also automatically collect information through the use of commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons.

b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information (“non-personal information”) is information that does not identify you as an individual, such as your browser type, IP Address, the URL of the previous web site you visited. ICT Security Pty Limited may automatically collect certain types of non-personal information from you when using www.ictsecurity.com.au. We may also collect non-personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as information included in response to a questionnaire or survey.

Third Party Tracking

ICT Security Pty Limited engages third parties, which use images, and scripts, to help better manage content on ICT Security Pty Limited’s Web sites. ICT Security Pty Limited does not provide Personal Information to the third parties, but may tie the information gathered from third party tracking to Visitors’ Personal Information for marketing purposes.

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web site that is saved on your hard disk by your computer’s browser.

A “cookie” is a piece of information that our Web site sends to your browser, which then stores this information on your system. If a cookie is used, our Web site will be able to “remember” information about you and your preferences either until you exit your current browser window (if the cookie is temporary) or until you disable or delete the cookie. Many users prefer to use cookies in order to help them navigate a Web site as seamlessly as possible. You should be aware that cookies contain no more information than you volunteer, and they are not able to “invade” your hard drive and return personal or other information to the sender.

Our uses of “cookies” are limited to the following specific situations. The first situation is with respect to temporary cookies. There are two instances in which we use temporary cookies. First, if you are accessing our services through one of our forums sections our Web server may automatically send your browser a temporary cookie, which is used to help your browser navigate our site. The only information contained in these temporary cookies is a direction value that lets our software determine which page to show when you hit the back button in your browser. This bit of information is erased when you close your current browser window. Second, if you log into an access-controlled section of our site, we set a temporary session cookie to establish that you have been authenticated. If you choose not to accept a temporary cookie, you will not be able to navigate in the access-controlled section of the site.
