ST PAULS PUBLICATIONS
PRIVACY POLICY

St Pauls Australia - St Pauls Publications and St Pauls Bookcentre - has adopted the “National Privacy Principles” as our policy on all methods of contact available to you with us.

Purpose of collecting information 
We will collect personal information in the process of conducting transaction. That personal information may be obtained directly from you, via another contact in your organisation or through a third party who we believe has informed you that your details may be provided to us. We will only store your personal details if they are relevant to your organisation conducting transaction with us. We do not normally obtain or store information that is deemed by the Privacy Act to be "Sensitive Information". 

We store personal information to ensure that we can maintain contact with the organisations with which we do transaction. This contact may be verbal, electronic or written. The reason for the contact may be to inform, request assistance or to maintain a relationship. 

Use of information 
The information we collect will only be that which is necessary for the conduct of our organization and our relationship with your organisation. 

Information gathered by us in one instance may be used in another instance unless you expressly requested that we do not. However, we will only use the information which we receive about you for the purpose of doing transaction with your organisation or in connection with that purpose. 

Method of collection of information
Where practical, we will only collect information directly from you and those submitted by you. If we collect it from another source, we will do what is reasonably possible to inform you that we have collected the information. 

Storing personal information 
Your information is held either in paper-based records or in electronic form in our databases. We take proper precautions to ensure the security of that information. 
If your information is no longer needed, we will either delete it from our systems or de-identify it, so that it cannot be attributed to you personally. 

Disclosure of information 
We do not normally disclose your personal information to anyone. If we intend to do so, we will contact you before we do. 

Checking your information
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, and we will put into effect any changes that you ask for. 

If you wish to view the personal information that we have stored please e-mail, fax or write to our Privacy Officer, Norman Peña. We will disclose your personal information ONLY to be extracted and made available for viewing by you at St Pauls Australia (Note: This will not includ any passwords or security relevant information). We will not mail or e-mail your personal information document to you but we will notify you in a timely manner when it is available for viewing. 

Website procedure and security 
If, through a channel of contact, you are forwarded to another site or organisation St Pauls Australia is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of that site or organisation. 

Our web site uses cookies, which are small amounts of information sent from a web server to your computer. These cookies are used to retain login and state information. We do not use cookies to track your internet activity before or after you leave the St Pauls Australia environment. Any activity while you are at our web site may be monitored. No other company has access to our cookies. 

Where credit card details are submitted for a web site purchase, St Pauls Australia take every precaution to ensure that your transaction is safe and secure. The St Pauls Australia environment has added security available as a default option which uses a 128 bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This means that information you send is encrypted automatically by your computer, and then decrypted again on our side, preventing others from accessing your private information in between. 

More information on privacy legislation is available from the Federal Privacy Commissioner at www.privacy.gov.au.
