Privacy Policy
At Mad Chaos Website Development and Design we respect your right to privacy and the protection of your personal information. We are bound by the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988.
This privacy policy applies to all of the products and services offered by Mad Chaos Website Development and Design and only to information collected through our website and not to information collected offline.
Because we believe your privacy is an essential part of our service, we strive to be as clear and transparent as possible about our online practices, to seek your consent wherever the collection of personal information is concerned, and to inform you about information that is automatically collected when you visit our site.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us through our website.
Information we collect and how we use it
We collect no personal information about you unless you voluntarily choose to participate in an activity through this web site that involves the provision of personal information. If you choose not to participate in these activities, your choice will in no way affect your ability to use this web site.
Information you provide through posts - When you leave a comment on our blog or anywhere on the website, we ask for your personal information (i.e. name, email address, website url). This information is processed by a moderator. If the comment is approved it is posted on our website and becomes publically available.
Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online in message boards, or similar posting areas, the information can be reviewed and collected by anyone. It is also searchable on Google, Yahoo, Bling and other search engines which have indexed the web page on which your comment and personal information are available. Therefore, do not post any information that you do not want to be made available to the general public. By leaving a comment you consent to the disclosure of your personal information on our website. If you wish to remove a comment you made, please email us the link where the comment was posted and we will resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Information you provide through forms - When you fill in a form on our website, we ask for your personal information. Some information (indicated by an asterisk) is mandatory while other information is optional. When a form is submitted, the personal information you entered is converted into an email and stored in an email facility. We use your information to assess your service needs (i.e. website design quote), and to improve our consultation process so that we as a provider can effectively deliver those services to you.
Automatic Information - When you visit our website, web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We understand this compromises your individual autonomy in relation to personal information. However, our website does not have the authority to deactivate this automatic collection of information by servers. We do not use your IP address for any purpose other than statistical analysis to help optimize our website. Furthermore, this technical profile (i.e. pages visited, browser version, time on site) is provided by a third-party service. No attempt will be made to combine IP addresses with any personally identifying information to identify individual users except where a law enforcement agency (e.g. the Australian Federal Police) exercises a warrant to inspect our service provider's log files.
Cookies - Mad Chaos Website Development and Design do not send cookies to your computer or receive information from cookies that uniquely identifies your browser.
Email Communication - Mad Chaos Website Development and Design is concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission.
Other sites - This site contains links to external web sites and this Privacy Policy does not extend to those external web sites. Mad Chaos Website Development and Design is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external web sites.
Sharing information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Third party links - Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
