Online privacy
Tourism Australia (TA) considers the responsible use of personal information to be of vital importance. TA is committed to respecting your privacy. In general, you can visit the Trade Events Website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, there are times when we may need information from you such as when you register for events, or when we need to send information to you. This information may include your name, home or business address and e-mail address. TA will advise you before we collect any personal information from you over the Internet. TA may share the information obtained with other organisations with a similar purpose to our own, such as State and Territory authorities. We will endeavour to limit the use of information to the purpose for which it was provided.
In general, on TA websites IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) are logged to track a user's session while the user remains anonymous. We analyse this data for certain trends and statistics such as the parts of our Website that users are visiting, and the length of time spent. In general, we do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable to you. In those limited cases where session information is not anonymous, TA will provide notice of the practise and an opportunity for users to "opt out". When TA receives information about your session or about you, we may also use it for research or to improve our site and the services we offer you.
