This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for Incarta IT, a division of Quintessa Holdings Pty. Ltd..

Information Collection and Use

Incarta IT is the sole owner of the information collected on this web site.  We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from the ways disclosed in this statement. Incarta IT collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.

Web Site Registration

In order to use some features of this Web site, users must first complete the registration form. During registration, users are required to give their contact information (name, affiliation and e-mail address). This information is used to contact users about the topics on our site for which they have expressed interest, to enable users to retrieve lost passwords and to provide users with access to "client only" areas of the site.

Cookies

Incarta IT uses cookies to remember if users have logged in while on our site. This allows web site users to avoid logging in more than once, thereby saving time. Users have the option of disabling or not accepting cookies by changing the preferences on their browsers. If users opt to disable cookies, they will still be able to use our Web site. However, they will not be able to use some functionality or post to the forums. No personally identifiable information (name or e-mail address) is collected with the cookies that we set. Accepting cookies while on the Incarta IT site will not put the user at risk for marketing to other sites. Different browsers have different cookie settings. With Firefox, you can ask the browser to allow, warn you, or completely disable cookies. Internet Explorer has an additional feature where you can specify different settings for different security zones. You can choose to allow Web sites to create cookies for you in your "trusted sites" (like Incarta IT), to warn you before you create them in your local Intranet zone, and to give you an option to never allow them in a "restricted zone." See the "Help" section of your particular browser for more information on working with cookies.

Web Statistics

We use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use for internal Incarta IT reporting purposes. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing

We sometimes share aggregated demographic information with our business partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We only share this information so that we can secure funding to continue providing this site free of charge.

Links

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Security

Incarta IT takes every precaution to protect our Web site users' information, and we have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.

Surveys

Occasionally, our site requests information from users via Web surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include demographic data (such as post code and age), but nothing that can identify any individual person will be collected. Survey results will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Send This to a Colleague

If users elect to use our "Send This to a Colleague" function, we ask them for the colleague's name and e-mail address. Incarta IT will automatically send collegues a one-time e-mail message inviting them to visit the site. Incarta IT stores this information temporarily for the sole purpose of sending this one-time message.

Updates

We may also send the user Incarta IT site and service announcement updates. Registered users of the site are not able to unsubscribe from service announcements that contain important information about the site and Incarta IT services. We communicate with users to provide requested services and to discuss issues relating to their accounts via e-mail or phone.

Correction/Updating Personal Information

If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as post code or e-mail address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavour to provide a way to correct, update, or remove that the personal data that was provided to us.  Changes may be requested by contacting Incarta IT support.

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our home page so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by e-mail. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
