This Privacy Policy explains how Commuserv collects, uses, and discloses the personal information you may provide while using Commuserv (the “Website”) and the services provided through the Website.

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you may not use or submit personal information to the Website. Information Automatically Collected

Non-Personal Information

As is typical with many other Internet sites, the Website automatically collects certain non-personal information regarding users, such as the date and time you access the Website, your IP address, the URL from which you linked to the Website, the web browser you are using, the Website pages read and images viewed, and any content you post to the Website. This non-personal information is used for Website and system administration purposes. Non-personal information may be disclosed to third-parties and permanently archived for future use.

Cookies

The Website uses “cookies,” a technology that stores a small amount of information on a user’s computer to permit the Website to recognize future visits using that computer. Cookies enhance the convenience and use of the Website. For example, the information provided through cookies is used to recognize you as a previous user of the Website (so you do not have to enter your personal information every time), offer personalized content and information for your use and otherwise facilitate your Website experience. Some of the banner ads displayed in the Website are provided by outside companies. These ads contain cookies. While www.commuserv.com.au uses cookies in other parts of the Website, cookies received with banner ads are collected by Commuserv’ advertisers and Commuserv does not have access to this information. Commuserv may engage third parties to provide cookies that collect information regarding Website use. You may choose to decline cookies generally if your browser permits, but doing so may affect your use of the Website and your ability to access certain features of the Website.

Your Personal Information

During your use of the Website, you may be asked to voluntarily provide personal information (such as your name, e-mail address, and address) for communications with you. If you choose not to provide certain requested personal information, you may not be able to use certain features of the Website.

Use of Your Personal Information

Commuserv may use your personal information to contact and correspond with you, respond to your communications, provide services to you, facilitate and enhance your use of the Website, and as otherwise permitted by law. Additionally, Commuserv may keep a record of all communications with you. Commuserv uses third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit its Website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your search queries and visits to the Website and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here. You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose information online (whether through Commuserv’ services or any other service available online), personal or otherwise, that information can be collected and used by others. For example, if you use forums or if you post personal information online, you may receive unsolicited messages from others. Commuserv has no control over this use of your personal information.
