Upper Goulburn Repeater Association privacy policy The Upper Goulburn Repeater Association is a registered association ("UGRA"). As the UGRA, it is the owner and operator of the Mt. Terrible (TER-08) UHF repeater, assigned Channel 8 / 38. This statement sets out the UGRA policies relating to the collection and use of your personal information. It also applies to your conduct on the UGRA web site (the "Site"). Please note that separate privacy policies apply to the use of sites that are available through the Site but are not operated by UGRA directly ("third party sites"). Before disclosing your personal information to any third party site you should read the relevant policy or terms of use as it may be presented. Contents 1. Your personal information is important to the UGRA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Your personal information is important to the UGRA UGRA recognises that your privacy is very important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. Unless you give us explicit consent to act otherwise, the following policy will govern how UGRA handles your personal information and safeguards your privacy. UGRA is committed to protecting your personal information and giving you choice in who can use your personal information and how it can be used. We believe that our privacy policy not only complies with relevant laws but represents industry best practice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. UGRA Visitor & Membership systems UGRA has implemented or will implement a visitor & membership system. To obtain the full benefits of Visitor or Membership, users are required to register with UGRA and login as visitors or members each time they visit the Site. However, even if you don't sign up as a Visitor or Member or log onto the Site as a visitor or member, you are still able to access much of our content. Before you can interact with the site you must be registered as a Visitor. The purpose of the Visitor system is to ensure that we can correctly identify you via your email address and that your email address is in fact valid. The Membership system provides enhanced viewing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Collecting personal information about you There are two main ways we collect information about you: i. If you do not log in as a UGRA visitor or member and should we offer this ability Whenever you visit our site, our servers automatically record information about your usage of the Site such as the time of the visit, its duration and the pages which you visit. This is intended to help us to understand what parts of our Site our users enjoy the most, and to help us to ensure that any advertising is most directly relevant to your interests. The information we collect about you remains anonymous, and we do not link it to any other personal information. If you do not want us to retain any information at all, even in an anonymous form, you can use the Preferences on your browser program to remove all cookies and set the browser not to accept cookies in the future. For more information on disabling cookies, click here ii. If you log in as a UGRA visitor or member, should we offer this ability Once you have become a UGRA visitor or member, we collect personal information about you in order to provide you with the full benefits of Visitor or Member status. When you first register as a Visitor or Member, we collect information from you directly and also from time to time thereafter if you provide us additional information. Once you have logged on as a visitor or member, we keep a record of how you use the Site. This helps us to build a profile of what interests you, so that we can personalise your experience of the Site and publish information which is directly relevant to your interests. Any further collection of your personal information other than that explained above will only occur with consent from you. UGRA only collects information from your use of our Site. We do not collect information about you from other organizations or from websites outside the Site that you may visit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UGRA understands that even with our privacy policy, some still will not feel comfortable disclosing their personal information in order to become an UGRA visitor or member. So if you don't feel comfortable with disclosing your real identity, but you still want to take advantage of the UGRA Visitor or Member Systems, then you can register for Visitor or Member Status using a pseudonym (or "nym") - a different name. We won't know who you really are, but we will still be able to find out what you like most on our Site and therefore give you the most enjoyable and customised experience of the Site possible. No other party are ever given information that identifies you as an individual (such as your name or your email address), unless you have given us your express consent to disclose such information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.

The use of cookies can enhance your enjoyment of what is offered by UGRA, because they can help personalise your experience of our website.
