STRAITS and your privacy

At STRAITS we respect your right to privacy and we understand that, as a visitor to straits.com.au. you prefer to control your own personal information and preferences. For this reason, we may ask you to register, or to provide personal information and preferences, when you visit certain areas of ausicl.com, request information from STRAITS, or subscribe to STRAITS newsletters.

We will guard the personal information you share with us to ensure the content, services, and advertising that we provide on STRAITS.com (and related STRAITS sites) are always tailored to your current, designated preferences.

When you provide STRAITS with your name, e-mail address, mailing address, or telephone number, and you "opt in," STRAITS may use the provided information to alert you to new conferences being planned, special offers, updated information, new services, and other STRAITS related information. STRAITS does not offer, or allow the selling of any user-provided information to third parties.

STRAITS respects the rights users give us when opting to receive e-mail communications, and enforces internal policies to preserve those rights. It is our objective to retain the long-term ability to continue to communicate with our users.

If you do not want STRAITS to contact you, you may "opt out" of this preference at any time, whether you're online. As part of your preference flexibility, you will always have the option to opt back in and have STRAITS contact you based on your previous, or new preferences. For instructions, please see the section "Contact Us," below.

If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still visit the web site however, you will not have access to areas that require personal identification.

How STRAITS will protect your personal information

STRAITS will always protect the personal information that you share with us. If, for example, you register for a conference online, we route all transactions through SSL (Secure Socket Layers) and will process your credit card number only to secure your current payment. The SSL transaction does not retain your credit card number subsequent to the transaction at hand and will not use the number for marketing purposes.
