Thank you for taking the time to learn more about how Weekend Internet Services
P/L (“Weekend”) manages your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains Weekend’s privacy practices in relation to its Internet
web site www.weekend.com.au (“Site”). In some cases this Site may link or refer
you to other web sites or organisations, which have their own privacy policy and
practices.
In this Privacy Policy, when we refer to ‘personal information’, we mean information
that can identify you or from which your identity can be reasonably ascertained
- for example, your name and contact details. By using this Site, you agree to the
terms of this Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right, to modify or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any
time and this Privacy Policy should be read with the other terms and conditions
applicable to the use of this Site (See the Site’s Terms of Use).
Personal Information
You can use this Site without telling us who you are. The only personal information
we collect about you is that which you choose to tell us. For example, we may need
to collect your personal information so that we can provide you with services or
to answer or forward your requests or inquiries. It is our intention that this Privacy
Policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way that
is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.
How Information is used
Personal information that visitors submit to this Site is used only for the purpose
for which it is submitted unless we tell you otherwise in this Privacy Policy or
at the time of collection.
Other organisaitons that you come into contact with through this service Whilst
we may through this Site direct you or your queries to other organisations , we
do this for your convenience only. Weekend is not responsible for the privacy practices
of those other organisations unless we tell you otherwise. Before disclosing your
personal information to those sites or organisations, you should examine their privacy
policies.
Disclosure
Apart from where you have consented or disclosure is necessary to achieve the purpose
for which it was submitted, personal information may be disclosed in special situations
where we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally
or unintentionally) with Weekend’s rights or property, users of this Site, or anyone
else who could be harmed by such activities. Also, we may disclose personal information
when we believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure.
Security
We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information
submitted to our Site, and we review and update our security measures in light of
current technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can
be guaranteed to be totally secure. We will nonetheless endeavour to take all reasonable
steps to protect the personal information you may transmit to us.
In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our
information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information
held by us. However, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised
access to your personal information.
Use of Cookies
“Cookies” are data that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping
purposes. Cookies, which are industry standard and are used by many web sites, including
ours, can facilitate a user's ongoing access to and use of a site. They may allow
us to customise the Site to your needs. If you do not want information collected
through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows
you to deny or accept the cookie feature. But you should note that cookies may be
necessary to provide you with some features of our on-line services.
Like many web site operators, we also use software to analyse and record visitor
numbers and other details such as:
- the number of page views (or page impressions) that occur on Site;
- the number of visitors to our Site;
- how long those visitors (on average) spend on our Site when they do visit; and
- common entry and exit points into our Site.
This aggregate, non-personal information is used by us to assist in analysing the
usage of our web site.
Access to your personal information
We will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep any information that we hold
about you accurate and up to date. If, at any time, you discover that information
held about you is incorrect or if you otherwise wish to review or correct that information,
please contact us.
Links To other Web Sites
We may provide links from this Site to other web sites (“linked sites”). Unless
we tell you otherwise, these linked sites are not under our control, and we do not
accept responsibility for the privacy practices of those sites or their operators.
Before disclosing your personal information to any other web site, you should examine
the terms and conditions of those sites and their privacy practices.
Changes to this Privacy Statement
Weekend’s services are constantly evolving. This may affect the types of information
we collect and how we use it. If this occurs, we will update our Privacy Policy.
We therefore encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy so that you
remain informed of any changes to it.
