Information Collection
As a visitor, you do not have to submit any personal information in order to use the website. The site collects only personally identifiable information that is specifically and voluntarily provided by visitors. Such information may consist of, but is not limited to, your name, current job title, company address, email address and telephone and fax numbers.
We do not usually seek sensitive information (e.g., data relating to race or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, criminal record, physical or mental health, or sexual orientation) from visitors. We will, where necessary, obtain visitors' explicit consent to collect and use such information.
Cookies and Web Beacons
To ensure that our website is well managed and to facilitate improved navigation within the site, we or our service provider(s) may use cookies (small text files stored in a user's browser) or web beacons (electronic images that allow the website to count visitors who have accessed a particular page and to access certain cookies) to collect aggregate data. We may use such devices to track information on our systems and identify categories of visitors by items such as IP address, domain, browser type and pages visited. This information is used to analyse the number of visitors to different areas of the site and to make sure that our website is serving as a useful, effective information source.
Neither cookies nor web beacons collect personal information such as your name or email address. Further, most browsers permit individuals to decline cookies. Please click here for more information on cookies and how to reject them. However, under specific circumstances, visitors may be denied access to some parts of our site if their browsers are set to decline cookies.
Information Use
Personal Information (as that term is defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)) is used only for limited purposes. For example, when you register with the website to gain access to the products on the website, to request information or submit a comment, we may use the information you submit to create a personal profile to keep track of what other products and services you might be interested, or to customise our response to further requests or inquiries. We may also use the information to personalise your website experience. In addition, the web masters may, where necessary, use your information for various site related tasks.
We will ensure that our marketing activities comply with applicable law, and implement procedures to obtain necessary consents before sending you email containing information about Deloitte service offerings. You may at any time request that we discontinue sending you such materials.
Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
Although we may provide visitors' information to service providers that handle information on our behalf, we will usually not share the information with third parties or other Deloitte entities for secondary or unrelated purposes unless otherwise disclosed at the point of collection.
Personal information may be transmitted internationally through the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu worldwide organisation or to third parties for the purposes identified above. This may include transfer to countries without data protection rules similar to those in effect in your country of residence. By providing information to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Australia through this website, you are consenting to such transfers.
Personal information may be disclosed to law enforcement, regulatory or other government agencies, or third parties where necessary or desirable to comply with legal or regulatory obligations or requests or for the purposes identified above.
Access to Information
We are dedicated to providing reasonable access to visitors who wish to review the personal information retained when they register with our website and correct any inaccuracies it may contain.

In all cases we will treat requests to access information or change information in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Information Security
We have in place reasonable commercial standards of technology and operational security to protect all information provided by visitors from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction.
Deloitte is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. Deloitte will use its best endeavours not to disclose your personal information to third parties without your prior consent, unless required by law to do so. All personal information is stored on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol and firewalls. However, the Internet, by its nature, is not perfectly secure.
It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
