This document ('Privacy Policy') describes the information
we collect about you and explains what may happen
to that information. By using the Lifestyle Margaret
River (LMR) website, you accept the Privacy Policy
as set under the following headings:
1. Our Commitment to best privacy practices
LMR is committed to best-practice privacy standards.
We are committed to protecting your personal information
and letting you know the type of information we collect
and how this information is used. Our Policy is based
on the National
Privacy Principles, developed by the Office of
the Australian Federal Privacy Commissioner which
came into effect 21 December 2001. LMR also intends
to comply with any guidelines or laws introduced in
Australia to strengthen protections for your privacy.
2. Collecting information about you
The amount of information we collect about you depends
on your use of our website. The only personal information
we collect is what you tell us about yourself, for
instance through surveys and newsletter registrations.
We use your personal information for research or to
improve our site and the services we offer you. We
analyse the data for certain trends and statistics,
such as which parts of our site users are visiting
and how long they spend there. This information is
compiled and analysed on an aggregated basis. We may
share this aggregated information with our content
providers to assist them in understanding our services
but we do not give our content providers aggregated
information that would allow them to identify you
personally.
We also use your personal information to notify you
of updates to the web site via email or our newsletter
(if you have subscribed to one of our services). Please
contact
us if you no longer wish to receive emails or
newsletters from us.

is any unauthorised use of your account or any other
breach of security. However, LMR does not accept responsibility
for any consequences of the unauthorised access to
your information.

the website, especially if you share a computer with
someone else or are using a computer in a public place

Internet to parties other than LMR, different rules

and policies. We encourage you to ask questions before
you disclose your personal information to others.

the secrecy of your username and passwords and any
account information.
