The types of information we collect
In general, when you visit our websites you do not have to tell
us who you are, or reveal any personally identifiable information
to us. Unless you specifically agree to tell us, we will never know
who you are, & you are able to interact with our websites in
a completely anonymous way.
Personally identifiable information is defined as any specific
data that could disclose you as an individual, such as your name,
address, telephone number, billing & shipping information, credit
card information or e-mail address.
When you visit our websites our server's automatically record basic
information about your usage, such as the type of internet browser
& operating system you are using, the date, time & duration
of your visit & the pages you viewed. This information is anonymous
& does not identify you as an individual, nor will we combine
it with information that does identify you as an individual. This
information is collected & analysed to provide us with a greater
understanding of how you use our websites.
Where necessary we collect personally identifiable information
on certain areas of our websites, for example, if you register on
a forum, enter a competition or subscribe to an e-mail newsletter.
The personally identifiable information collected may consist of
a username or unique user ID & contact information, such as
your name, email address, mailing address, telephone & fax numbers.
You may have the opportunity to make purchases on our websites,
in which case we would need to collect your order information, credit
card details & delivery instructions in order to facilitate
payment & shipment.
From time to time a pop-up window may invite you to answer survey
questions & provide certain demographic information, such as
your age, sex, income bracket, country of access, & location
of connection, (e.g., home or work). Your response to these types
of surveys is entirely voluntary & you should feel no obligation
to participate.
At times we may use a feature of your browser (called a "cookie")
to automatically assign you a unique user ID. A cookie, by itself,
cannot be used to find out your identity, it merely identifies your
computer to our servers when you visit our websites. We will not
combine your user ID with information that does identify you as
an individual. You may, at anytime, set your browser to allow, notify
you or refuse altogether the use of cookies.
How we use or disclose the information we collect
In general, the information we collect is used for our own analysis
aimed at improving our products & services. We use personally
identifiable information to fulfil your requests or orders for specific
services or products. We may also use personally identifiable information
to perform other functions including, demographic analysis of site
usage (who is visiting our websites & what they are interested
in), customising advertising & content seen by our users, &
improving our marketing & promotional efforts.
We will not intentionally disclose any personally identifiable
information & we do not sell, trade or rent such information
to third parties (such as advertisers or telemarketers).
Any personally identifiable information you provide will only be
provided to third parties if:
- You consent to such a disclosure
- We are compelled or authorised to do so by law
- We reasonably believe there is a threat to someone's life or health
- Our website or business is sold to, or merged with another entity
The quality & security of the information we hold
Any information you provide to us is stored & held under generally
accepted standards of technology & operational security in order
to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse,
alteration, or destruction. Only authorised personnel are provided
access to personally identifiable information & these personnel
are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite
these precautions, we cannot guarantee absolutely that any &
all unauthorised access to your personally identifiable information
will be prevented.
Your access to the information we hold
If you would like to access, correct, update or de-activate any
information you have submitted, please send a request to privacy@commandaustralia.com.au.
We will modify or de-activate any information that could be used
to identify you as soon as practicable after your request, unless
we are required or authorised by law not to do so. Once de-activated
your data will not be accessible, however, due to system backups
to magnetic tape media, your data may in some circumstances remain
on these tapes.
Transborder (interstate & international) data movement
At times, personally identifiable information collected from our
websites may be transferred between our offices or data storage
facilities located in Australia or internationally. Our websites
may be viewed & hosted anywhere in the world, including countries
