Privacy on this website

Information collected is stored in an appropriately secure format and held for archival purposes. When the information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected it may be deleted.

We will ask you when we need you to provide further personal information for any reason. Generally, we will only collect further personal information that is related to the services that you ask us to provide to you.

Cookies are small pieces of text data that a web server can store on, and later retrieve from, a user's computer. They do not personally identify you, but do identify your browser. Cookies can be either ‘persistent’ or ‘session’ based. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer, contain an expiration date, and may be used to track your browsing behaviour upon return to the issuing web site. Session cookies are short-lived, are used only during a browsing session, and expire when you shut down your browser.

This website uses persistent cookies. They record your preferences in relation to your use of the site and provide us with other information about your enquiry that allows us to recognise your browser if you return to this website in the future. This enables WestConnex to present information that may be most relevant to you based on your previous visits. They also assist WestConnex to understand what parts of the site users find the most useful and improve the effectiveness of the website.

The cookies on the WestConnex site do not read the information on your hard drive. They do not make your computer perform any actions or make your computer send information to any other computer via the internet. WestConnex makes no attempt to associate cookies with users' names or identities. Our server cannot find out your name or email address, or anything about your computer, by using cookies.

Most browsers are set by default to accept cookies, however you can configure your computer to determine how you would prefer to interact with cookies across the internet. You may wish to set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to allow each cookie on to your hard drive, or to block cookies altogether. However, if you decide to not accept cookies set by this web site, some of the web pages may not display properly or you may not be permitted to access certain information.

You may also set your browser so that the cookies set by this web site are destroyed when your browser shuts down and no personal information is maintained which might identify you should you visit our web site at a later date. In this way, the persistent cookies set by this web site will effectively function as session cookies.

There are several techniques available for managing cookies in various browsers. Please see the help section of your browser.

There are risks associated with the transmission of information over the internet and you should therefore make your own assessment of the risks in the provision of your information to the WestConnex website.

In the secure transaction facilities available through the WestConnex website, your information is encrypted as it travels between your computer and our servers. Encryption makes it difficult for others to view your information. These facilities use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. SSL is an industry standard for secure e-commerce transactions. If your browser did not support SSL, you would not be able to access these services.

WestConnex also monitors developments in security and encryption technologies and reviews and updates its processes and procedures in line with industry standards.
