Profile Information
Your profile information (such as company type and language preference) in the registration form is used by Smart Office Club to create personalized content, services, and advertising on the Smart Office Club Web site. Smart Office Club may also profile your Web site activity in order to accurately track your account and provide you with Smart Office Club products and services that correspond to your interests. Smart Office Club may also compile data in aggregate form so that we may better understand the users that are visiting our site. For example, we may produce reports on the most popular search terms by collecting general search term data based on individual searches. Aggregate data is anonymous and does not contain any personal information that identifies a user.

As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
Use of Service Providers
We occasionally hire or partner with other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as managing and handling the processing and delivery of mailings (both email and postal mail), providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Security
Smart Office Club has a number of operational functions in place to protect the confidentiality of personal information. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access that are located in secured facilities. Smart Office Club' employees are trained and kept up-to-date on security procedures. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to blackline1@optusnet.com.au
We use SSL encryption technologies to transmit sensitive information such as a credit card number to our servers. However, perfect security on the Internet does not exist, and Smart Office Club does not warrant that its Web site is impenetrable or invulnerable to hackers.
