What information do we collect?

CLRNSW only collects personal information from you where that information is necessary for the supply of our services (including to facilitate communications with you about that service) and for the billing of those services. This information may include your name, address, contact details, email address and payment details (bank account or credit card details) and is collected when you directly provide that information to us.

When you visit our website, our systems may record anonymous information such as the time, date and URL of the request. This information helps us to diagnose problems with our server, and to monitor and improve the performance of the website.

We may also collect your IP address for internet session management and security purposes, which includes enabling us to identify international subscribers and facilitate relevant access.

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other uses of our website.

Our website may contain interactive features, including chat sessions, message boards, tagging facilities, email exchanges including mailing lists and newsgroups. Information which you submit in such forms is public and available to anyone who has access. We suggest that you use your discretion and exercise caution when providing any personal information in such contexts.

How do we use the information that we collect?

We may use your personal information if:

  • it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you;
  • we consider such use of your information as not being detrimental to you, within your reasonable expectations, having a minimal impact on your privacy, and necessary to fulfil our legitimate interests; or

We collect and use your personal information to operate our website and to deliver our services to you. We may use that information in the provision of technical and sales support and as part of our billing and accounting systems.

We may use customer contact information to send you information about our products and services. You may choose not to receive such information when you are undertaking product or service registration on our website. We may also ask you about your interests, but you may choose not to respond. We will not use your personal information for other purposes without your consent.

Disclosure

There may be occasions where it will be necessary for us to disclose your personal information to third parties without first obtaining your consent. This may occur where:

  • we are legally required to disclose the information; or
  • disclosure is necessary in order to provide you with services that you have requested, for example we may need to rely on third party service providers to whom we outsource services, such as IT support.

Under no circumstances will CLRNSW sell or receive payment for licensing or disclosing its customer lists to third parties.

We take reasonable precautions to ensure that your personal information is secure. Our website has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
