3. Use, Disclosure, and Cookies
In general, Nūl collects personal information to the extent that is necessary for us to conduct our business, to provide a high quality of service and to establish and build a relationship with you. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Website. Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic information and is never disclosed publicly against any of your personal information. This Website uses "cookies" to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Webpage server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise Nūl pages, or register with Nūl or its services, a cookie helps Nūl to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Nūl features that you may have customised.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Nūl Website.
Furthermore, Nūl will not disclose any personal information (including sensitive information) it may hold, for any direct marketing purposes, unless an exception applies under the Privacy Act.
4. Choices/Facility to Unsubscribe
If you have previously agreed to receive e-mails from us, you may contact [email protected] to notify us that you no longer wish to receive such e-mails and/or journals. Nūl allows users to unsubscribe so that they will not receive future messages or emails. Because we plan our communications in advance, it may take several weeks for your request to become effective. If, due to human error, you continue to receive our communications, please contact us again and we will make every effort to correct the situation.
5. Data Quality and Security
Nūl is dedicated to ensuring that all personal information collected or used is accurate, complete, and up to date. If you would like to change or update any information previously supplied to Nūl please contact us by email on [email protected].
Nūl takes all reasonable steps to protect the personal information it holds from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Nūl will take all reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify records of personal information collected which is redundant, or which Nūl becomes aware is inaccurate or false.
Nūl uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption with the aims of protecting information transmitted over the internet. However, to ensure safety and integrity of your financial information, it is fundamental that people take the utmost care in maintaining their privacy and ensure they are using safe devices. In the event of any security breaches, please contact us at [email protected].
