We recognise the importance of protecting the privacy of information collected about visitors to our web site, in particular information that can identify an individual (“personal information”). This Privacy Policy governs the way your personal information, obtained through the web site, will be dealt with. This Privacy Policy should be reviewed periodically so that you are updated on any changes. We welcome your comments & feedback.

This web site is owned and operated by Astoria Developments (ABN 27 617 757 392) and will be referred to as “We”, “our” and “us” in this Privacy Policy. By using this site, you agree to the Privacy Policy of this web site (“the web site”), which is set out on this web site page. This Privacy Policy relates to the collection and use of personal information you may supply to us through your conduct on the web site.

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. This Privacy Policy is in addition to any other Terms and Conditions applicable to the web site. We do not make any representations about third-party web sites that may be linked to the web site.

​PERSONAL INFORMATION

​Personal information about visitors to our site is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with further services or to answer or forward any requests or enquiries. It is our intention that this policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way that is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.

​USE OF INFORMATION

​Personal information that visitors submit to our site is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted or for such other secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose, unless we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. Copies of correspondence sent from the web site, that may contain personal information, are stored as archives for record-keeping and back-up purposes only.

​As part of registering with us, we collect personal information about you for you to take full advantage of our services. To do this it may be necessary for you to provide additional information to us as detailed below.​

Subscribing to our website is completely optional. Subscription may include submitting your name, email address, address, telephone numbers, your areas of interest, options on receiving updates and promotional material and other information.

DIRECT MARKETING​

Astoria Developments will only use personal information obtained for the provision of services, for the secondary purpose of direct marketing where:

– We collected the personal information from the individual; and

– The individual would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information for the purpose of direct marketing; and

– The individual has NOT requested such communications cease;

– We provide a simple means through which an individual can request to not receive our marketing communications. If you are a subscriber to our database, you always have the option of unsubscribing and no longer receiving our communications. At the bottom of each communication, there is an opt-out option. Simply click on “Unsubscribe”. You will immediately be unsubscribed from these communications. Your personal details will remain on our database with a do not contact tag linked to your profile. Should you require your personal details to be permanently deleted from our database, please send a request to do so at hello@astoriadev.com.au; and

– You consent to us using your personal information to send you information about our products, services and offers, as well as the products and services of our affiliates and third parties, now and in the future. You also consent to us sending you communications by email, telemarketing, SMS and MMS messages;

– From time to time, we may make videos, take photographs or make audio recordings of our events, services and products, which may include your image or voice. You consent to being included in those videos, photographs, audio recordings and other written publications. You agree that you will receive no financial compensation for the use of your image and / or voice in any video, photograph, audio recording or written publication.

Often the law requires us to advise you of certain changes to products / services or regulations. You will continue to receive this information from us even if you choose not to receive direct marketing information from us. We will not disclose your information to any outside parties for the purpose of allowing them to directly market to you.

DISCLOSURE

Apart from where you have consented or disclosure is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was submitted, personal information may be disclosed in special situations where we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally or unintentionally) with our rights or property, users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Also, we may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure.

We may engage third parties to provide you with goods or services on our behalf. In that circumstance, we may disclose your personal information to those third parties in order to meet your request for goods or services.
Astoria Developments will never sell your personal data.

If we want to inform you of goods and services provided from other companies or third parties, AstoriaDevelopments will contact you directly. We will never pass on your personal details, direct to those companies or third parties.​

Should you purchase a product from us such as advisory services that may require support services such as technical assistance, you authorise our trusted operational and support partners to access your information on Astoria Developments’ operational platforms only. Again, these companies will not sell your personal data and they are contractually prevented from doing so. Further, any product support company who has access to our operational platforms, can only use the data for their contractually agreed purposes and must handle the data in a confidential and secure manner in accordance with Australian privacy legislation.

SECURITY

​We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information submitted to our sites, and we review and update our security measures considering current technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.

​However, we will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information you may transmit to us or from our online products and services. Once we do receive your transmission, we will also make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

​In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us. However, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.

COLLECTING INFORMATION FROM USERS

​IP Addresses: Our web servers gather your IP address to assist with the diagnosis of problems or support issues with our services. Again, information is gathered in aggregate only and cannot be traced to an individual user.

Cookies and Applets: We use cookies to provide you with a better experience. These cookies allow us to increase your security by storing your session ID and are a way of monitoring single user access. This aggregate, non-personal information is collated and provided to us to assist in analysing the usage of the site.

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

​We will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. If, at any time, you discover that information held about you is incorrect, you may contact us to have the information corrected.
