ONLINE SERVICES
Users of our Online Services are not required to provide us with any personal information. However, we may not be able to provide the information or service a user requests – including access to, and use of, thought leadership – if the personal information which is indicated as mandatory is not provided.
We may also collect aggregated information which tells us about users of our Online Services but not the identity of those users, unless they register to access thought leadership (in which case, the identity of a user may become apparent). For example, we may collect information about the date, time and duration of visits and which pages or parts of those Online Services are most commonly accessed. We may also collect internet address domain names, the previous websites visited and the types of browser visitors are using. This information is used by us for internal research, statistical and website development purposes. It may also be used by us to provide users with services and other content.
Our Online Services may use “cookies”. A cookie is a small message in a text file, and the message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
Cookies may be used by us for a variety of purposes. For example, we may use cookies to recognise a browser which has previously accessed our Online Services and customise our Online Services according to previous preferences and behaviour. Cookies may also be used to manage security and store information about the type of browser being used. With most Internet browsers, users can erase cookies from their computer’s hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. However, some parts of our Online Services may not function fully for users who disallow cookies.
Our Online Services may, from time to time, contain links to the websites and online services of other organisations which may be of interest to you. Those other organisations are responsible for their own privacy practices and you should check those websites and online services for their respective privacy policies.

Some of the parties with which we exchange personal information are located outside Australia in countries like Singapore and the United States of America. While these third parties will often be subject to privacy and confidentiality obligations, you acknowledge that:
they may not always comply with those obligations or those obligations may differ from Australian privacy laws;

- the third party may be subject to foreign laws which might compel further disclosures of personal information (e.g. to government authorities).
