Privacy statement

If you visit this website to read or download information, the web server managed by the PSA makes a record of your visit and logs the following anonymous information:

• Your server address
• Your top level domain name
• The date and time of your visit to the site
• The pages you accessed and the documents you downloaded
• The previous site visited

The information collected is used to create summary statistics which allows the PSA to assess the number of visitors to different sections of the website, identify what information is of most and least interest, monitor system performance, and help us make our site more useful to visitors. 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 the internet service provider's logs.

You may browse and access information contained within this website without providing any personal information. Where you voluntarily provide personal information (for example, by sending us an email, completing an online form, or subscribing to an email newsletter) we will only use that information to communicate with you, enable authentication of the information provided, or undertake any transactions. This applies whether you provide the information to us electronically via our website, or use an alternative form of communication such as a downloadable pdf form, letter to our mailing address or telephone contact.

If subscribing to an email newsletter you may ‘unsubscribe’ at any time from the newsletter mailing list.

If you ask a question or provide feedback, we may publish your question or feedback under the appropriate section on this website. We will not publish your personal details without your consent.

Personal information is not passed to any third party, and will not be disclosed without your consent, unless required to by law.

We will not collect or solicit personal information via this site which would be unlawful, unnecessary or unrelated to the functions or activities of the PSA, or unfair or unreasonably intrusive.

For more information please refer to the Privacy Act.

You may choose to provide information interactively (eg by entering an online discussion forum). If so, please be aware that this information is public. We suggest you use your discretion. For example, when participating in a forum, your name will appear on the message board. If you do not want your real name to appear, use a pseudonym. Do not under any circumstances use somebody else's name. The PSA will not accept any liability in respect of subsequent unwanted correspondence etc. Please refer to our Disclaimer.
