You also have the right to ask us to alter your personal information to ensure it is accurate and up-to-date.

Online Privacy IssuesIf you use FBC’s website, you are understood to consent to the terms and conditions set out on our websites. This includes consenting to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

In general, you can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However there are times when we may need to collect personal information from you. At the time of collection, we will seek your permission to send you further electronic communications, and for your personal information to be stored in databases that are hosted in Australia. If at any time after submitting your personal information to us you would no longer like to receive information from us, simply follow the “unsubscribe” directions at the end of any email communications you receive, or contact us at fbc.canberra@gmail.com.

No attempt will be made by FBC to identify website users or their browsing activities except in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect server logs. The statistics and log files may be preserved indefinitely and used at any time and in any way necessary to prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the information supplied by FBC.

In general on FBC website, IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) are logged to track a user’s session while the user remains anonymous. We may analyze this data for certain trends and statistics, such as which parts of our site users are visiting and how long they spend there. We do not link your IP addresses to anything that identifies you. In those limited cases where session information is not anonymous, Myna Solutions will provide notice of the practice and an opportunity to “opt out”.

When we receive 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.
