Privacy policy

SSRK Technologies

1. Introduction

We are committed to preserving the privacy of all visitors to the following domain:

  • SSRKTechnologies.com

and to protecting any Personal Information that you may provide to us. Personal Information (as defined by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)) means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in writing or spoken, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.

We believe it is important for you to know how we treat Personal Information about you that we may receive from this website (“Site“)and how we carry out data processing practices through the use of the Internet and any other electronic communications networks. Please read the following privacy policy to understand how we use and protect the Personal Information that you provide to us or how we may use and protect it in the future.

By making an enquiry on this Site, by enrolling for one of our training modules, or by providing any Personal Information to us, you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your Personal Information under the terms of this policy.

2. Information that we collect

2.1 Sources from which we collect

Generally, we collect information from:

  • you;
  • through our website and by other electronic communication channels;
  • third parties;
  • publicly available sources of information;
  • when we are required to do so by law; and
  • our own records.

The Personal Information we collect may include:

  • your salutation, name, address, landline, mobile and fax numbers and e-mail address;
  • company and business name, job title, business sector and contact details;
  • details of the ways in which you are prepared to receive information from us and/or selected third parties; and
  • data collected to send information about our products and services.

2.2 Website Visitors

Like most website operators, SSRK Technologies collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. SSRK Technologies’s purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how SSRK Technologies’s visitors use its website. From time to time, SSRK Technologies may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, eg, by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

SSRK Technologies also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in addition to those listed in 3.1 above. SSRK Technologies does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

2.3 Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to SSRK Technologies’s websites choose to interact with SSRK Technologies in ways that require SSRK Technologies to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that SSRK Technologies gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address. In each case, SSRK Technologies collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with SSRK Technologies. SSRK Technologies does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

We may:

  • require the selection of a user ID and password for the use of some of our products or services such as where you register to gain access to our web tools and products;
  • offer you the opportunity to receive email updates and announcements concerning our products, services and activities. Personal Information you have provided to us may be used to facilitate those communications;
  • collect information about you from e-mails, letters, telephone calls or from any other communication you have sent or may send to us; or
  • collect additional Personal information automatically about your visit to our Site (e.g. our web server logs your IP address when you view a page on our Site).

2.4 Aggregated Statistics

SSRK Technologies may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, SSRK Technologies may reveal how many downloads a particular version got, or say which plugins are most popular based on checks from web services used by SSRK Technologies installations to check for new versions of SSRK Technologies and plugins. However,SSRK Technologies does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

4. Use of Cookies

Cookies are small amounts of information which we may store on your computer (after you register on our Site) to enable our server to collect certain information from your web browser. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just the computer used. Cookies and other similar technology make it easier for you to log on to and use the Site during future visits (e.g. they may maintain a shopping basket for your publication orders and event bookings). It also allows us to monitor website traffic, to identify you when you visit this Site, to personalise the content of the Site for you and to enable you to both carry out transactions and have access to information about your account. Cookies themselves only record which areas of the site have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. Allowing us to create a cookie does not give us access to the rest of your computer and we will not use cookies to track your online activity once you leave our site. Cookies are read only by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus.

5. Disclosures

The Personal Information you provide to us may be accessed by or given to our staff and to third parties including our business partners, government bodies and law enforcement agencies, successors in title to our business and suppliers we engage to process data on our behalf, who act for us for the purposes set out in this policy or for other purposes approved by you. Those parties process information, fulfil and deliver orders and provide support and other services on our behalf. We may also:

  • disclose Personal Information you have provided through our Site to persons or companies that we retain to carry out promotions and other activities for which you have registered or in which you have otherwise asked to participate;
  • pass aggregate information on the usage of our Site (e.g. we might disclose the numbers of visitors to our Site that come from different geographic areas) to third parties but this will not include information that can be used to identify you personally;
  • allow carefully selected third parties to contact you occasionally about our products, services or information which may be of interest to you. They may contact you by post, telephone and e-mail unless you opt-out by contacting us in writing by email, fax or post.

6. Other websites

Our Site may contain links to other websites which are outside our control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you access other websites using the links provided, the operators of these websites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from ours.

7. Data retention, security of Personal Information collected, internet based transfers and disclaimer
