Privacy Policy

To that end, we offer this statement to inform our users of how we gather and utilise personal information. The Network Group will take all reasonable steps to protect user privacy, consistent with the National Privacy Principles.

A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner at www.privacy.gov.au.

The Network Group gathers personal information about our users in two different ways:

1. You supply it in response to a request from us: The Network Group collects personal information from users when voluntarily submitted by a user, such as creating a membership or, contributing content or participating in a contest.
2. Purchasing products or services: - If you purchase products or services or apply to become a The Network Group customer, The Network Group requires you to provide certain details so that we can establish an account and provide you with the product or service. This includes details such as your name and contact information, or in the case of businesses, information about the company, department or association making the purchase or setting up the account. The Network Group requires this information to help us process and manage your account.

The Network Group does not collect sensitive information about an individual unless they have consented or it is required or authorised by law or the collection is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal or equitable claim or the information relates solely to our customers or to individuals who have regular contact with us in connection with our activities and at or before the time of collecting the information the organisation undertakes to the individual whom the information concerns that the organisation will not disclose the information without the individual's consent.

The Network Group may use collected personal information to market to an individual that is the contact person for our customer, products and services of benefit to our customers, unless individuals or customers have expressed to us that they do not want such marketing offers or materials made available to them. In these circumstances the personal information of such individuals will be used for the sole purpose of providing the service for which the individual provided the information.

This personal information is obtained in many ways including interviews, correspondence, by telephone and facsimile, by email, via our websites, from your website, from media and publications, from other publicly available sources, from cookies and from third parties. We don’t guarantee website links or policy of authorised third parties.

The Network Group will in each direct marketing communication with an individual make individuals aware that they can express a wish not to receive any further communications. Such a wish may be expressed at any time, even if the individual has previously consented to the receipt of such material. The Network Group reserves the right to keep a record of such requests for the sole purpose of ensuring we are able to comply with any such request.

All direct marketing communications by The Network Group will contain The Network Group contact details.

On occasion, The Network Group in providing services to our customers, makes available the service in conjunction with other organisations. Any personal information collected in these circumstances will only be disclosed to any third party organisation with the express consent of the individual. Any other disclosure of personal information will only be where required or authorised by or under law.

The Network Group and its related companies may use personal information to develop and improve the products, benefits and services we offer to our members or website users. The Network Group may also use email addresses or other personal information to contact users who directly communicate with The Network Group. For example, The Network Group may contact users to notify them that they have won a contest or to provide a requested email newsletter.

The Network Group policy is to provide you with the opportunity to limit the use and/or disclosure of your personal information. You may do this when you register or at any time when you receive email communications from us, or at any other time by written notice to The Network Group.
