The following statements and disclaimers apply to all Web pages managed by the Central Queensland University Student Association unless otherwise noted.

The Central Queensland University Student Association's (CQU Student Association) Web site which referred you to this document conforms to the general policy on privacy as outlined below.
How we handle the information we gather when you visit our Web site-
Web server activity logs
Like most Web servers on the Internet, our servers collect and store all of the information that your Web browser sends when it requests a Web page, including: the name, domain, and numerical internet address of the "host" computer (typically a computer belonging to your Internet Service Provider and not your personal computer) from which you access the Internet.
1. the date and time you accessed our site;
2. the Internet address of the Web page that you came from
3. the page you requested from our site and the number of characters sent to your computer; and
4. the information your Web browser software sends as its so-called "User Agent," which typically identifies the browser software and may also indicate the operating system and type of CPU used in your personal computer.
It is impossible to determine the actual identity of an individual user from this information.
The logs are periodically summarized and analyzed in order to study site usage over time and to perform other studies to help us improve the site's organization, performance, and usefulness.
Electronic Mail
When you send us personal identifying information via e-mail (that is, in a message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a form that e-mails us this information), we use it to respond to your requests. We may forward your e-mail to other CQU Student Association employees, Central Queensland University officers, or contract personnel who are better able to answer your questions. We do not retain or distribute lists of e-mail addresses to any parties outside of the CQU Student Association except as necessary to conduct official CQU Student Association business. In no event do we distribute lists of e-mail addresses to non-Central Queensland University entities.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Many CQU Student Association sites using the file transfer protocol may also store your e-mail address if your Web browser is configured to provide it. By default most Web browser software does not send your e-mail address; this option is configured through your browser preferences. In Netscape Navigator, for example, this option must be set by you through the Advanced preferences category by the item labeled, "Send email address as anonymous FTP password."
Online Surveys
When you voluntarily provide us with personal information as part of an online survey, we use it to perform various quantitative and qualitative analyses to improve customer service and satisfaction. We may forward the information collected to Central Queensland University officers or contract personnel to perform the actual analysis. You are under no obligation to participate in such surveys. Non-participation will not inhibit your use of our Web site in any way. If you provided the information to us in error, you may request its removal at any time.
Marketing Information
We may collect information from you, with your permission, that will allow us to provide customer services, such as promotional materials and product availability notices. We may forward the information collected to CQU officers, partner agencies, or contract personnel to provide specific marketing services. We will remove such information at your request.
Collection And Release Of Gathered Information
We want to make it clear that we will not obtain personal identifying information about you when you visit our Web site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Except in the course of officially authorized law enforcement investigations, or in the event of a suspected attempt to deliberately circumvent our system's security with the intent to gain unauthorized access or to do physical damage (for example, an attack by hackers), we do not attempt to identify individual users or share any information we receive with any parties outside of Central Queensland Univesity / CQU Student Association. In the latter case, collected information associated with a suspected intruder might be shared with an incident response service.
Retention Of Collected Information
Cookies - Some applications may save a "cookie" on your browser to provide a temporary history of actions taken. We do not retain any record of "cookies" beyond what is necessary for running the application.
Web server activity logs - Monthly extracts of the log files are archived and stored off-line at our discretion for an indefinite period of time. Some statistical summaries derived from these data may be retained online or off-line at our discretion for an indefinite period of time.
E-mail - Information collected via e-mail will be retained at our discretion in a directly readable form for as long as necessary to complete our response. The e-mail may be retained in an archival form as required by Commonwealth laws and regulations governing the retention of historical records of government agencies.
Online surveys - Information collected via online surveys may be maintained at our discretion for an indefinite period of time.
Marketing information - Such information may be maintained at our discretion for an indefinite period of time.
