Canberra Daily Privacy Policy – current as at 24 March 2020

Newstime Media Pty Ltd, trading as Canberra Weekly magazine and canberradaily.com.au, is committed to respecting our customer’s privacy and security.

However, we do collect and use various bits of information about you through your use of our site (www.canberradaily.com.au) (the Site), to enhance your enjoyment of our service, with the three main types of information being categorised as:

1. Sensitive Personal Data – Financial information that could potentially be disclosed as a result of listing a property or advertising through the Sites.
2. Personal Data – Information through which it is possible to identify you directly (names, addresses, contact information etc). You will always know when this data is being collected through the completion of the registration process and ordering process on the Sites; and
3. Aggregated Statistical Data – All other non-personal information that relates purely to generic statistics such as traffic flow and demographics. It is not possible to identify you through this data.

Sensitive Personal Data

We collect financial information about you only to complete purchases on our Sites, and to meet our legal requirements under Australian law. This may mean that your financial information may need to be disclosed by us to law enforcement officers for any legislated purpose. We will not otherwise disclose your sensitive personal information to other companies unless it is directly required for services we provide to you.

If we store your sensitive information it is only to meet legislative requirements, and if that purpose is no longer applicable, that information is deleted.

Personal Data Newstime Media Pty Ltd will only collect, use and transfer your personal data if you have consented to that collection, use and transfer, except in circumstances where it is necessary to conform to legal requirements; protect and defend our rights or property; or to protect the interests of other users.

This data is generally collected through our registration and ordering systems, whereby you are required to enter accurate contact information to register on the Sites.

Where your personal data is collected through other means, we may allow for pseudonyms or anonymous access where such access does not adversely affect our business needs.

If consent has been given during the collection process, we may use your personal information to contact you with relevant material; or to disclose that information to other select third party companies (partners or affiliates such as real estate agents) and for those companies to contact you with other relevant material.

You may opt out from receiving marketing material at any time by sending an email to us containing your name and other identifying information.

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

Where you contact, or are contacted by a third party directly as a result of using the www.canberradaily.com.au website, any information that you disclose to them will not be covered by this Privacy Policy. This includes but is not limited to any contact information, financial or reputational data or any other sensitive or personal data that may allow the third party to identify you.

Aggregated Data Other non-personal information will be collected and used by Newstime Media Pty Ltd and may be transferred to third parties.

In addition to non-personal information collected through the ordering or registration or registration processes, information is automatically collected about traffic around the Sites. This is also only used in aggregate form and no individual user will be identified.

Cookies We uses “cookies” to speed up access to the Sites (it bypasses checking the registered user database) and to enhance your experience of the sites by customising it according to your interests. A cookie is a small piece of information sent from www.canberradaily.com.au to your computer to help us to identify you quickly. It is possible for you to disable these cookies by changing your browser settings, but this may slow down or prohibit access to parts of the Sites.

Agencies Where advertisements are used on www.canberradaily.com.au  they are served to the Sites on our behalf by agents. The agent may use cookies for statistical purposes and to ensure that you do not see the same adverts all the time, and to try and make sure that you see adverts that will be of interest to you.

In particular these sites use the services of Google Analytics for the serving and/or targeting of ads, promotions and other marketing messages. To do this, Google Analytics collects and stores anonymous data typically through the use of cookies. To learn more about Google Analytics, visit http://www.google.com/analytics.
