Information we collect

We want to assure you that we will not collect any personal information about you unless the information is voluntarily submitted by you in a clear and intentional manner. Personal information refers to any information or opinion about an individual whose identity is either clearly apparent or can be reasonably deduced from the information provided. The types of information about you that we may collect through this Site include, but are not limited to, your name, home address, email address, telephone numbers, gender, age, and personal preferences regarding various topics.

We gather information that you voluntarily submit on this Site when you register, reach out to us, or otherwise provide information via this Site. It is essential to note that the provision of your personal information and data remains entirely voluntary. If you prefer not to have your information used for the purposes discussed below, please refrain from providing us with that information at any point.

We also receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, similar to numerous other websites, when you visit our Site, our server attaches a small data file, which is commonly referred to as a “cookie,” to your computer's hard drive. This process enables us to analyze usage patterns on our Site, allowing us to tailor the user experience to better meet your needs and preferences. Cookies serve to identify your computer to our servers upon your visits to our Site. Most web browsers come preconfigured to accept cookies. However, if you do not wish to have cookies stored on your computer, you can refuse the transfer of cookies by adjusting the settings on your Internet browser accordingly. It's important to understand that cookies themselves do not personally identify users; rather, they only identify the user’s browser. Additionally, we do not store any personal information within cookies.

We may also collect data about the date, time, and duration of visits to our Site, as well as which pages are accessed most frequently by users. This aggregated information may be utilized by us to assist in improving the overall experience of the Site. Importantly, we do not connect this information back to any other personal information that you have provided to us in any form.

Use of your personal information.

We will treat any personal information that we receive from you with the utmost care and recognize the fundamental need for appropriate action to effectively manage and protect any information that you choose to share with us. DECUP is committed to ensuring that we will not sell, rent, or otherwise engage in, disclose, or reveal personal information for any commercial purpose or for gain without your explicit consent, unless permitted or required by law. From time to time, we may need to disclose the personal information that we receive from you to specific selected organizations, sub-contractors, and agents to whom we outsource certain essential functions. Such functions may include tasks like mailing houses, individuals answering customer support inquiries, or conducting statistical analysis of our services and products. This may include organizations, sub-contractors, and agents that are located outside of Australia as well. Additionally, we may also share the personal information that we receive from you with other related bodies corporate of DECUP, which may also include those entities located outside of Australia. We want to assure you that we will not pass on your information for direct marketing purposes to anyone other than the persons or organizations mentioned above unless you have clearly indicated to us that you would like to receive information about our products and services.
