privacy policy
This website is owned and operated by Applied Electro and will
be referred to as 'we', 'our' and 'us' in this Internet Privacy Policy.
By using this site, you agree to the Internet Privacy Policy of this
web site ('the website'), which is set out on this website page. The
Internet Privacy Policy relates to the collection and use of personal
information you may supply to us through your conduct on the website.
We
reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify or remove portions of
this Internet Privacy Policy at any time. This Internet Privacy Policy
is in addition to any other terms and conditions applicable to the
website. We do not make any representations about third party web sites
that may be linked to the website. We
recognise the importance of protecting the privacy of information
collected about visitors to our website, in particular information that
is capable of identifying an individual ('personal information'). This
Internet Privacy Policy governs the manner in which your personal
information, obtained through the web site, will be dealt with. This
Internet Privacy Policy should be reviewed periodically so that you are
updated on any changes. We welcome your comments and feedback.
Personal information
Personal
information about visitors to our site is collected only when knowingly
and voluntarily submitted. For example, we may need to collect such
information to provide you with further services or to answer or forward
any requests or enquiries. It is our intention that this policy will
protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way that
is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.
Use of information
Personal information that visitors submit to our site is used only for
the purpose for which it is submitted or for such other secondary
purposes that are related to the primary purpose, unless we disclose
other uses in this Internet Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.
Copies of correspondence sent from the website, that may contain
personal information, are stored as archives for record-keeping and
back-up purposes only.
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 our rights or property, users,
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.
We may engage third parties to provide you with
goods or services on our behalf. In that circumstance, we may disclose
your personal information to those third parties in order to meet your
request for goods or services.
Security
We
strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal
information submitted to our sites, 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. However, we will endeavour to take
all reasonable steps to protect the personal information you may
transmit to us or from our online products and services. Once we do
receive your transmission, we will also make our best efforts to ensure
its security on our systems. 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.
Cookies
Cookies
are data that a website transfers to an individual's hard drive for
record-keeping purposes. Cookies, which are industry standard and are
used by most websites, including those operated by us, can facilitate a
user's ongoing access to and use of a site. They allow us to customise
the web 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.
Access to information
We will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to
keep secure any information which we hold about you, and to keep this
information accurate and up to date. If, at any time, you discover that
information held about you is incorrect, you may contact us to have the
information corrected. 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.

We provide links to websites outside of our web
sites, as well as to third party websites. These linked sites are not
under our control, and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct
of companies linked to our website. Before disclosing your personal
information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and
conditions of using that website and its privacy statement.
