You have a right to access your personal information, subject to some exceptions allowed by law. If you would like to do so, please let us know. You will be required to put your request in writing for security reasons.
The RFBAQ is committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is intended to describe how your personal information is processed and used, and we will make every effort to ensure that our activities keep within the spirit of this Privacy Policy. Please note that by visiting and using www.rfbaq.org, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Visitor Information
Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name and an IP Address. When a visitor requests a page from within the RFBAQ website, our Web Servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our Web Server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact, the only information that we automatically gather and log is as follows: The IP Address of the Site that may have Referred you; Your IP Address; The Web Page that you may have linked to us from, if any; The Product Identifier for Version and Make of Browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 5.5); The Operating System platform that you may be running (e.g. Macintosh or Windows); Search Words or Terms that are passed from a Search Engine (e.g. Google, Yahoo).
The RFBAQ has found it advantageous to examine visitor traffic in its aggregate, so that we can ensure maximum compatibility for the various Browsers and Operating Systems that visit our site. By analysing visitation patterns, referring URLs and Search Engine terms, we can strategically enhance our exposure on the Internet.
Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser from our Web Server. A cookie cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files that may have been created from other sites. The RFBAQ website employs cookies as a means of providing personalisation features to our visitors.
What other information does the RFBAQ request?
We may also request your e-mail address, mailing address, clothing sizes, ID number and contact telephone numbers for the purposes of conducting a survey, adding you to our mailing list, supplying uniforms, clothing or by your request to have someone contact you for additional information. Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. We maintain a strict "No Spam" policy that means we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent.
If you are a member of our Mailing List, you will be contacted with announcements, news, additions and new products or information. You have the option of "Unsubscribing" from our Mailing List at any time, thereby disabling any further such communication from being sent to you. If you wish to have specific communications with a member of the RFBAQ staff, you will be required to provide specific information that will be routed to the appropriate contact within the RFBAQ.
The RFBAQ produces periodic publications such as annual calendars, magazines, catalogues and additional informational material; and as the RFBAQ is reliant upon 3rd parties (eg: Rural Fire Service (QFRS)) for the provision of this information, the RFBAQ is unable to guarantee that unsubscribing to the RFBAQ may not completely cause correspondence to cease.
Help us to ensure we hold accurate information
The RFBAQ takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, the accuracy of that information we hold depends to a large extent on the information you provide.
That's why we recommend that you let us know if there are any errors in your personal information; and keep us up-to-date with changes to personal information such as your name or address.
Third Parties
The RFBAQ will disclose your personal information or any of its log file information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such actions are necessary to:
Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on RFBAQ;
- Protect and defend the rights or property of the RFBAQ,
- or visitors of the RFBAQ;
- Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal notice, or the rights of third parties;
- Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.
The RFBAQ uses reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed to us secure. The RFBAQ reserves the right to transfer information in connection with the sale of all or part of the RFBAQ capital stock or assets to any third party. Furthermore, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that receive the information. The RFBAQ also provides "links" to a wide variety of other web sites on the Internet. We are not responsible for their Privacy Policies or how those websites manage information about their users.
We strongly urge you to check with those web sites to determine their privacy policy. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted so that you are always aware of the information that we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
