Privacy policy

The content of this statement forms the basis of the internal Web Privacy and Security policy that applies to user interactions with the Perth Education City (PEC) website at www.pertheducationcity.com.au

Data collection and click-stream data

Browsing any website, including the PEC site, generates a trail of the pages that are visited, and the time apparently spent displaying each page. Click streams are the paths a user takes when navigating a website and the Internet in general.

When you visit our site, our servers may record the following information for statistical purposes:

  • The user's server (IP) address and machine name
  • The date and time of visit to the site
  • The pages accessed and documents downloaded
  • The number of bytes transmitted and received for each request
  • The address of the referring page visited
  • Search terms used
  • The type of browser used

PEC examines this information to determine the traffic through the server, and to specific pages or applications, in order to deliver better services.

No attempt will be made to identify users or their browsing activities except in the unlikely event of an investigation, or the need to determine details related to a security breach or other inappropriate activity.

Cookies information

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. PEC uses only session ID cookies and, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. Cookies can be easily blocked on your computer by simply un-checking the "accept cookies" option in your web browser. This can be found under the options menu of your Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer browser software.

Protection of personal information

PEC will only record your email address if you send us a message. Your email address will only be used for the purpose for which you provided it. We will not use your email address for any other purpose and will not disclose it to other parties, without your consent.

Any personal details submitted via the PEC website will only be used for the purpose for which they are provided. We will not use your personal details for any other purpose and will not disclose them to other parties, without your consent.

Links to other websites

PEC may decide to link to other websites which contain related information. PEC is not responsible for the content of any linked sites.

A link to a site does not imply that PEC endorses that site or the organisation operating that site, it is for reference purposes only.

PEC may link to a site that collects information about the user and we cannot control the collection of this information. Users should contact these content providers directly if there are any questions about the use of information they collect. These sites and services may have their own privacy policy, or no policy at all. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third party sites or services before providing them with personal information.

When linking to an external website, links should open as externally linked pages in a new browser window - the external site will not be framed within the PEC website.

Organisations linking to PEC's website

PEC encourages appropriate links to it's website but reserves the right to refuse any such link or to terminate an existing link if PEC deems it to be inappropriate.

User feedback

We seek feedback from our users in order to improve the privacy and security safeguards utilised by PEC. Please contact us at admin@pec-wa.com.au
