Stelis Consultancy Pty Ltd (ACN 108 367 746)
(Stelis) recognises the importance of your privacy and understands
your concerns about the security of your personal information. We
are committed to protecting any personal information about you that
we hold. This privacy policy details how we generally manage your
personal information and safeguard your privacy.
The National Privacy Principles
From 21 December 2001, most private sector
organisations in Australia, must by law comply with the National
Privacy Principles subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ("NPPs").
We are bound by the NPPs.
We are concerned about protecting your privacy. This
statement describes how we handle clickstream (site navigation)
data, cookies and e-mail addresses.
Clickstream data
Clickstreams are the paths a user takes when
navigating a web site and the internet in general. When you visit
one of our sites, our servers may record the following information
for statistical purposes:
- the user's server (IP) address and machine name;
- the date and time of visit to the site;
- the pages accessed and documents downloaded;
- the number of bytes transmitted and received for
each request;
- the previous site or page visited;
- search terms used; and
- the type of browser used.
Stelis examines this information to determine the
traffic through the server and to specific pages or applications. In
order to deliver better services, we also perform statistical
analysis to establish priorities and allocate resources.
No attempt will be made to identify users or their
browsing activities except in the unlikely event of an
investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant
to inspect server logs.
The statistics and log files may be preserved
indefinitely and used at any time and in any way necessary to
prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the
information supplied by the Stelis.
Cookies
A cookie is a short piece of data that is sent from
a web server to a web browser on the user's machine when the browser
visits the server's site. The cookie is stored on the user's
machine, but it is not an executable program and cannot do anything
to your machine.
Whenever a web browser requests a file from the same
web server that sent the cookie, the browser sends a copy of that
cookie back to the server along with the request. In this way, the
server knows you have visited before and can co-ordinate your access
to different pages on its web site. A server cannot find out a name
or e-mail address, or anything about a user's computer, by using
cookies.
We use cookies to obtain session details for access
to parts of our sites. Cookies are essential in providing a seamless
access to some on-line databases. Cookie information is not stored
or collected by the Stelis.
E-mail addresses
We will only record your e-mail address if you send
us a message or supply it when participating in a discussion forum,
in which case it will be visible to other users of that forum. We
will use your email address only for the purpose for which you have
provided it and you will not be added to a mailing list unless you
have asked us to, nor will we disclose it except as described in the
previous paragraph.
Security
Once the Stelis receives information from you via
e-mail or any other means, the information is in a secure
environment. Your personal information will not be released unless
the law permits it or your permission is granted.
You need to be aware of inherent risks associated
with the transmission of information via the
Internet.
If you have concerns in this regard, the Stelis has
other ways of obtaining and providing information. Normal mail,
telephone and fax facilities are available.
Copyright
All material on this website, including (but not
limited to) text, graphics, information architecture and coding, is
subject to copyright.
We are happy for you to reproduce this material for
personal and non-commercial purposes, or for purposes permitted by
law, provided that any reproduction is unaltered, shows the date of
first publication and an attribution of source is included. If you
wish to make any other use of this material, you must have our prior
