Overview

 

Universal Institute of Technology is subject to the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

 

This Act gives people some control over the personal information they provide to a company and the right to know how it will be used.

 

This Web Privacy Statement outlines how Universal Institute of Technology deals with personal information related to our website. Users of our website are entitled to expect that any information collected will be treated within the terms of the Australian privacy responsibilities and obligations.

 

What is personal information?

​

Personal information includes any information or opinion about an individual whose identity is apparent or can be readily identified from the information or opinion.

For further information visit the Office of the Privacy Commissioner website.

 

What information do we collect automatically?

 

When you look at Universal Institute of Technology’s website, our computers record your visit and log the following information for statistical purposes:

 

• the Internet Protocol address from which we receive the request

• the date and time our server received the request

• the pages, documents, and files you requested

• the address of the resource which provided the link followed, if any, to Universal Institute of Technology’s website

• the type of browser and, in some cases, the operating system used

• in some cases, data you send to our website from web forms (e.g. search terms).

 

Some sections of Universal Institute of Technology’s website use standard industry technologies, for example ‘cookies’, to do this.

 

What do we do with the information collected automatically?

 

The anonymous information collected during each visit is collated for analysis. It is then evaluated and published in reports that show Universal Institute of Technology’s usage patterns and identify popular areas of the website. This helps us to improve and develop the website and its services.

 

For security reasons, Universal Institute of Technology uses software programs to monitor network traffic and identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

 

What won’t we do with the information collected automatically?

 

No attempt will be made to identify individual users or their browsing activities except for when, in the unlikely event of an investigation, a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect Universal Institute of Technology logs. Apart from an occasion when it may be required to do so by law, Universal Institute of Technology will not disclose your personal information to a third party, other than a contractor responsible for statistical analysis or web development, and then for those purposes only, unless you have authorized it to do so.

 

What exceptions are there to this rule?

​

Universal Institute of Technology will gather more extensive information than stated above in the following circumstances:

• unauthorized attempts to access files other than those published on Universal Institute of Technology’s website

• unauthorized tampering or interference with files published on Universal Institute of Technology’s website

• unauthorized attempts by other websites to index the contents of Universal Institute of Technology’s website

• attempts to intercept messages of other Universal Institute of Technology’s website users

• communications that are defamatory, abusive, vilify individuals or groups or give rise to a suspicion that an offense is being committed

• attempts to otherwise compromise the security of the Universal Institute of Technology web server, breach Australian laws or interfere with the use of the Universal Institute of Technology website by other users.

 

Universal Institute of Technology reserves the right to make disclosures to relevant authorities where the use of our website raises concern that an offense is being, or has been, committed.

 

In the unlikely event of an investigation, Universal Institute of Technology will provide data access to any law enforcement agency that may exercise a warrant to inspect Universal Institute of Technology logs.

 

Who has access to raw data automatically captured by our website?

 

Universal Institute of Technology captures web access information on its own computers.

Access to the raw data on the webserver is restricted to a limited number of staff and contractors who analyze and report on the success of the website in order to meet Universal Institute of Technology's communication and access objectives.

 

Is data stored in a secure way?

 

Universal Institute of Technology’s website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. However, no system is 100% secure. We meet legislative requirements and follow industry best practices to ensure the security of the website. Universal Institute of Technology only uses contractors for the purposes of electronic storage if those contractors have agreed to comply with Universal Institute of Technology’s privacy requirements.
If you do not wish to use the Internet, you can contact Universal Institute of Technology by telephone, fax, or mail.

 

Do we record email addresses?

​

Universal Institute of Technology will only record your email address if you enter it into a web form or send us a message. This information may be used and disclosed to contractors responsible for the delivery of a Universal Institute of Technology service or activity. It will only be used for a purpose for which it has been provided or otherwise with your consent.
