Deakin University respects the privacy of users of its website and complies with the Information Privacy Act 2000 (Vic.).
The University web server, and cookies installed by the server on users’ computers’ hard drives, record the following non-identifying information in relation to all users:
A cookie is a small text file which has a limited lifetime, usually until the browser session is terminated. A cookie allows a web server to “remember” the visitor on subsequent visits without having to prompt the visitor for information previously supplied (usually username and password).
The installation of cookies may be blocked in the user’s web browser if the user does not wish to accept cookies, but this may mean that the user will not be able to access some parts of the University’s website without re-authenticating on each visit. A web browser will contain a function enabling deletion by the user of all cookies on the user’s computer’s hard drive.
The above non-identifying information is used to analyse website usage and to improve the website so as to meet the needs of users.
The website may offer users the opportunity to supply personal information to enable the University to provide further services, such as access to restricted areas of the website, responses to users’ questions by e-mail or the provision of information to users by email. A user may also choose to complete on-line surveys, other forms or to offer feedback about the website.
The University has security measures in place to guard against the loss or corruption of information gathered through its website, including regular data back-ups, firewalls, data encryption and access-controlled areas. However, there are inherent risks in transmitting information across the internet as intrusion by unauthorised third parties is technically possible. If you are concerned about conveying sensitive material over the Internet, you might prefer to contact the University by telephone or mail. For contact details please see http://www.deakin.edu.au/contact/
As a convenience to users of the website some links to external websites are provided on Deakin web pages. If a link to an external website is pursued, its privacy statement or other relevant information provided on that site should be consulted as the University is not responsible for collection and handling of your personal information on an external website.
