PRIVACY & SECURITY STATEMENT
The Board of
Architects of Queensland is committed to protecting user privacy. We
understand and appreciate that visitors and users of this website are
concerned about their privacy and the confidentiality and security of
any information that may be provided to us.
The Queensland
Government has established a privacy regime for the
Queensland public sector based on the eleven (11) Information Privacy
Principles. These principles are contained in an Information Standard
that agencies are required to adhere to. A copy of this Standard can be
accessed at Publications under the website: http://www.governmentict.qld.gov.au/02_infostand/standards/is42.pdf
When you visit
the Board’s web site, the Website administrator uses cookies to
monitor the edit facility used by the Board and to collect statistics by
browser users, including information about the time and date you
accessed the site, the pages you visited, the Internet domain and IP
address from which you accessed the site and information on the browsing
software you are using to access the site. However, no attempt is made
to gather or keep personal details to identify users except, in the
unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may
exercise a power to inspect activity logs.
The
Board’s website enables you to access several other websites and
the Board has no control over nor is it responsible for the content and
the privacy practices of other web-sites accessed through its site. The
Board encourages you to examine each site’s privacy
statement.
STORAGE OF INFORMATION
As a
statutory body, the Board is subject to requirements of the Public
Records Act (Qld) 2002. Personnel records, registration
and financial information storage periods and methods of destruction are
followed in accordance with the Board policies and the General
Disposal and Retention Schedule for Administrative Records prepared
by Queensland State Archives.
Personal information is
stored in paper and electronic files within the Board’s premise,
contracted Web site host (WSH) and approved archives. The
information is securely stored and access is restricted to authorised
personnel only. The Board has confidentiality clauses binding the
WSH to keep personal information secure and not to disclose the personal
information to anyone other than the Board, unless required by law or by
written instruction by the Board. Such arrangements will also
require that if the arrangement with the Board ceases, all of the
personal information obtained from the arrangement with the Board will
be destroyed.
