Practice Exchange Australia

Personnel Exchange Pty Limited trading as Practice Exchange Australia ("PE" or "we" or "us") respects the privacy of its users and recognises the importance of protecting the personal information you provide to us over the Internet. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect on this web site, http://www.practiceexchange.com.au/ ("Web Site"), how we use your information, and your choices. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected at this Web Site, and does not cover any information collected by any other Web Site or offline by PE (unless specifically stated), its affiliates or any other company. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. In addition, please review our Terms of Use which governs your use of this Web Site.

Information PE Collects
Generally, you may browse this Web Site without providing any personal information about yourself, which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your name, address, birth date or email address), referenced herein as "PII" (Personal Identification & Information). However, we may ask you to provide us with certain PII when you register with us or at other times, such as if you choose to receive information about our policies, procedures, services, business listings or opportunities. We may also ask you to provide us with confidential information, such as financial status, net worth, creditworthiness, etc. Providing us with information about yourself is completely voluntary, and you can always choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of our services or our Web Site's features. In addition, you may have the opportunity to provide us with the PII, such as name or e-mail address, of someone else, such as if you chose to advise a friend or associate of a business opportunity, or refer a friend or associate to us for service, consultation or assistance.

We may combine the information about you that we collect at this Web Site with information available to us from other sources. For example, you may provide PII directly to us by other means (phone, fax, email, etc.), or other persons/agents designated or authorised by you may provide us with information, including PII, about you and your personal or business status or circumstances, in connection with your interest in utilising our services, or our interest in providing such services.

In addition, when you visit this Web Site, our ISP and their associated hardware & software platforms may automatically collect web site usage information and visitor statistics. Web site usage information is anonymous, aggregate information that describes how our visitors use and navigate our Web Site, and it may include the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays. We may also collect the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting our Web Site, and IP addresses (see below for more information on IP addresses). We also may determine the technology available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page.

Visits & PII from Minors
PE does not knowingly solicit visits by or collect information from minors. This is not a web site directed to children, and PE does not knowingly collect any PII from or about minors. If you are a minor, do not send any information about yourself or anyone else to PE. If PE discovers that a minor has provided PE with PII, about themselves or anyone, PE will make every effort to identify and delete that minor's PII from its system and records.

PE encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to supervise their children's activities on the World Wide Web. PE suggests that parents consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that may help ensure a child friendly online environment and help direct their children to suitable, child-oriented web sites.

Use Of IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from this Web Site, our ISP's servers log your IP address. PE may use IP addresses for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business partners or to audit the use of the Web Site.

Cookies
Like most web sites, this Web Site sometimes makes use of browser "cookies." Cookies are pieces of information that a web site either transfers to your computer's hard drive or stores temporarily in your computer's memory for record-keeping purposes. For example, we may use cookies to limit redundant responses and functions, or we may use cookies to track usage patterns on the Web Site or to analyze web activity. PE does not save PII in cookies.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you decline to accept PE cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of certain features of this Web Site.

PE's Use and Disclosure of Collected Information
PE may use your PII to provide you with information or content you have requested, to contact you to fulfill obligations, or for other purposes disclosed when you provide the information. We may also contact you regarding any problems or questions we have relating to your use of our Web Site, or, in our discretion, notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or other policy or terms that affect you and your use of our Web Site. PE may also use information about our users, including PII, for internal purposes.

If you e-mail someone else any content or other special feature from our Web Site, we will use the information you provide about someone else to send that person the requested e-mail. The e-mail addresses you supply us for those activities will not be used to send you or your friend or associate any other e-mail communications unless otherwise disclosed at the time you provide such information.

PE may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on its behalf. Examples include, without limitation, hosting this Web Site, sending communications on our behalf, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and providing customer service. These third parties may have access to this Web Site's user information, including PII, but only to the extent it is needed to perform their duties and functions.

PE may disclose information about its users, including PII, when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities and regulatory agencies conducting investigations, or to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Web Site and applicable laws. PE may also disclose such user information whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interfering with our rights or property or the rights or property of anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. In addition, PE may disclose user information, including PII, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all of its assets, or other fundamental corporate change.

PE may disclose anonymous, aggregated user statistics for a variety of purposes, including describing PE's services to prospective partners and other third parties.

Other than as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we will not contact you with marketing material or share your PII with outside parties unless such use or disclosure is clearly identified at the time you provide your PII or we provide you the opportunity to consent or prohibit such use or disclosure.

Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly in chat rooms, bulletin boards, or similar web pages. You should keep in mind that whenever you publicly disclose PII online - for example, via message boards or chat rooms - that PII could be collected and used by people that you do not know. In addition, certain message boards and similar user forums may display IP addresses along with the message poster's name and message. PE bears no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any information users may disclose on the bulletin boards, chat areas or other public forums, if any, on this Web Site.

In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases. And, your ability to opt out from receiving marketing and promotional material does not change our right to contact you regarding your use of our Web Site or changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or other policy or terms that affect you and your use of our Web Site.

Security
PE strives to ensure the security of your PII in every respect. If confidential information is provided, PE will make every effort to maintain its integrity. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. PE cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to PE and you do so at your own risk.

Links
Please be aware that when you are on our Web Site you could be directed to other web sites and/or online materials through links to other Web pages that take you outside PE's service and are beyond PE's control. For example, you may encounter links to related websites or business partners, which may include references to, or implied associations with PE'. If you "click" on the link to such a third party, the "click" takes you off our Web Site. These other web sites may set their own cookies, collect data, solicit PII and/or have their own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected at this Web Site, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any other web site you visit.
