This statement tells you what information we collect from you when you visit our website, how we use it and what you can do to check any personal information that Aussie Pig Farmers (APF) may hold.

Information collected

As a general rule, APF does not collect personal information about you when you visit our website. You can visit our site without telling us who you are or revealing other personal information, unless you choose to provide such information to us. What information we do receive, depends on what you do when visiting our site and will only be used to generate statistical information about the use of the APF website.

When you look at this web site, we make a record of your visit and may log the following information for statistical purposes:

  • user's client address (IP address)
  • date and time of visit
  • pages accessed and documents downloaded or uploaded
  • the referring or previous site visited (if applicable)
  • type of browser used
  • name of the top level domain from which you accessed the internet (for example .gov, .com, .org, .au etc)

No attempt will be made to identify you or your browsing activities except, in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement or other government agency may exercise its legal authority to inspect the logs.

Protection of information

APF maintains a high degree of security over the management of its internet site and related systems, in order to prevent unauthorised access from sources external to or within APF. We limit employee access to personally identifiable information to those employees who have a business reason to know this information. We also educate our employees to understand the importance of confidentiality and your rights to privacy.

You should be aware that when you send information over the internet or by email we cannot guarantee the security of that information. If you need to provide personal information to APF in the course of doing business with us, you can contact us by alternate means, including phone, fax, mail and courier.

APF will only record your email address if you send us an email message. It will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it and will not be added to a mailing list unless you ask us to do so.

We will expressly ask you for any other personal information that we might need to answer your queries or do business with APF over the internet. We will tell you how we intend to use that personal information if you choose to give it to us.
