How We Store and Protect Personal Information?

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) on our website, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). When Credit Card details are collected, we simply pass them on in order to be processed as required. We never permanently store complete Credit Card details.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to store and protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, we store personal information in computer storage facilities and use appropriate website protection measures such as firewalls and anti-virus software, security restrictions on access to our computer systems, and controlled access to our corporate premises. We are required to store your personal information in accordance with applicable law after which we take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information when we no longer need it. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

While we do our best to protect personal information and the privacy of users of our Sites, the Internet is not a secure method of transmitting information so we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you disclose and you disclose that information at your own risk. We use secure socket layer technology (SSL) to encrypt credit card information so that they are securely transmitted and processed but we cannot and do not accept responsibility for the security of that information, or for any unauthorized access or use of that information. We do not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered by you as a result of any unauthorized access to or disclosure of information supplied by you over the Internet.

If you have any questions about security on our Sites, you can email us at admin@ufstransport.com.au. We will respond to your query promptly within a reasonable time (but not more than 30 days) after the query is made.

We may reject queries that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, risk the security of our Sites, risk the privacy of others or would be extremely impractical.


 

Public Information

Any information posted by you on review forums and/or communicated in chat areas becomes public information. While we strive to protect and respect your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose in a review forum.

You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used for any purpose by others who access them. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable or other information you choose to submit in these areas. To request removal of your personal information from these areas, please contact our Privacy Officer by email or at the address detailed below.


 

How You Can Access Your Personal Information?

You have a right to request access to, or the correction of, your personal information that we hold about you, subject to exceptions allowed by law. You may be required to put your request in writing for security reasons.

We will give you access to, or correct, your personal information unless there is a lawful reason for refusing your request for access or correction. If we refuse your request we will give you a written notice explaining our reasons for that refusal and how you may complain about that refusal.

In most cases, we will endeavor to respond to your request within a reasonable time (but not more than 30 days) after the request is made.

We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system), risk the privacy of others or would be extremely impractical.

What You Should Know About Internet Privacy

Remember to close your browser when you have finished your user session. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or internet cafe. You as an individual are responsible for the security of and access to your own computer.
