Our Privacy Policy
PHA Australia and its sites, are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of Internet users. Accordingly, we abide by the Privacy Commission’s National Privacy Principles. We strictly adhere to all industry guidelines, and will continue to review and improve our privacy policy and procedures to ensure the safety and protection of consumer information. This Privacy Statement presents our privacy policy, including PHA's privacy practices for our Web site. Any personal information we do collect must be voluntarily submitted by users of the site. This website contains features intended for members of the Professional Hairdressers Association (PHA). To become a member of the PHA, it is necessary to provide us with certain details. These are essential for the running of the association and, by extension, this website. All details are retained by the PHA and will not be disclosed by us, unless we are required by law or by a court or government order to do so in a particular circumstance.
This website may contain links to websites other than that of the PHA. We are responsible only for the privacy and other policies and content of this site. You visit sites linked to this one at your own risk.
The PHA has taken all reasonable precautions to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You can help us by advising us of any changes or errors to the information you have submitted (eg, a change of email addresses). You can also access your personal details through us. Please contact us through the Contact Us page (found through the navigation bar).
Below is information regarding PHA's commitment to protecting the privacy of Internet users.
Consumer Information
In the course of delivering an ad to you, PHA does not collect personally identifiable information about you. In other words, we do not collect information, such as your name, address, phone number or email address. However, PHA does collect certain non-personally identifiable information about you, such as your browser type (for example, Netscape or Internet Explorer), the server your computer is logged into, the type of computer operating system you use (Macintosh or Windows, for instance) and whether you responded to the ad delivered.
This non-personally identifiable information that we collect is used for the purpose of targeting ads and measuring the effectiveness of ads on behalf of PHA's advertisers and Web publishers.
In some cases, you may voluntarily provide personal information in response to a specific ad. For instance, you may provide your address or email address in order to enter a competition.
Cookies and Opt Out
Like most Internet sites, PHA uses "cookies" to enhance the Internet user's experience on the Web. PHA cannot use these cookies to personally identify you in any way, and these cookies in no way damage your system or files.
What are cookies and how do they enhance your Web experience?
A cookie is a unique number that is assigned to you the first time PHA serves you an page. This number is stored in a file on your computer and helps us target ads to you. For instance, cookies help PHA ensure that you don't repeatedly see the same ad. Cookies can also help advertisers measure how you utilize an advertiser's site and the effectiveness of an ad. This information can then be used by advertisers to better cater to your needs. In other words, cookies help us deliver to you the types of ads in which you are more interested.
Although we believe that cookies help enhance your experience on the Web (by not repeatedly serving the same ads to you and delivering more relevant messages to you), PHA does not need cookies to deliver ads to you.
Opt Out
If you do not want the benefits of cookies, there is a simple procedure that allows you to deny or accept this feature. In order to "opt out" of the benefits of cookies, you may manually delete your cookies by following the instructions contained in the Help section of your browser.
Industry Efforts to Protect Consumer Privacy
PHA is committed to protecting the privacy of Internet users. Accordingly, we strictly adhere to all industry guidelines, including those established by the Direct Marketing Association. Furthermore, it is a licensee of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to build users' trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the use of fair information practices.
If you should have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Statement, please contact our Customer Services (see the Contact Us page, which you can reach from the navigation bar).
We recommend that you periodically review this Privacy Statement, as PHA may update it from time to time.
Sincerely, |
