Collection of information.
We do not automatically log personal data on our Website, nor do we link
information automatically logged by other means with personal data
about specific individuals.
If you choose to hyperlink to some
of our represented artists you may be assigned a user ID automatically
by the use of 'cookies'. These identify your computer to their servers
when you visit their site and may be used to store the sites or
databases that you have selected and to track usage patterns for their
site such as the address of the pages visited and your server's IP
address.
Data collection.
We do not collect any
personal or sensitive data from our visitors when they use our online
services, except where the visitor initiates this. We do not collect
information about our online visitors from other sources, such as
private organisations, public records or bodies for web visitors. We do
not release personal information or 'data lists' for the purpose of
commercial sale.
Our Internet Services Provider (ISP), the
company that owns the Website server that host our Website, may collect
only the domain names and names of referring websites (not e-mail
addresses of visitors). The ISP may aggregate information to measure
the number of visits, average time spent on the Website and pages
viewed. We may use this information to help us improve the operational
performance and informational content of our Website.
If you
register online or provide personal data to Australian Galleries by any
means, we may use this information to provide you with specific
targeted information. We may store email addresses, telephone numbers,
or other access devices so as to personally tailor information to you.
If
online services are conducted to better understand client needs and
profile of our Web visitors and clients, we will let you know how we
will use any information provided at the time we collect it.
Personal information collected offline may be used for secondary purposes such as direct marketing.
