Maintaining the privacy of your information is important to us as it helps foster confidence, goodwill and stronger relationships with you our clients. If at any time you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please feel free to contact us.

This following document sets forth the Privacy Policy for Hi Tech ITworX as per the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals.

Collection of Your Personal Information
There are many aspects of our sites which can be viewed without providing personal information, however, for access to future Hi Tech ITworX services and support features you are required to submit personally identifiable information. This may include but not limited to a unique username and password, or provide sensitive information in the recovery of your lost password.

Where you use our products and services as a client, we collect personal information during the creation of accounts for said products and services including but not limited to your name, contact details (address, phone, email) and bank details or credit card information. Some of our online services include general usage statistics collection for reporting purposes (including but not limited to bandwidth usage on a hosting account to ensure your account can meet its quota as purchased).

Unsolicited information provided to us will, if determined not suitable or required for consumption of our site or products and services, be destroyed within a 14 day period.

All emails sent to and from employees or service accounts at Hi Tech ITworX including the information contained therein, may be kept. This allows us to refer to client correspondence for information including but not limited to confirmation of purchases or renewals, for details of the ongoing conversation between Hi Tech ITworX and its clients.

In addition, when a domain name is registered by a customer, certain information is collected for use on the WHOIS service. The WHOIS service allows internet users to query a domain name to find out the identity and contact details of the registrant (the owner). The public WHOIS service is a standard feature of domain name service providers around the world.
In relation to .au domain names, please see auDA’s WHOIS policy at https://www.auda.org.au/policies/ which sets out auDA’s guidelines on the collection, disclosure and use of WHOIS data.

Sharing of Your Personal Information
Hi Tech ITworX does not sell or rent your personal information to marketers or third parties.

We may occasionally hire other companies to provide services on our behalf, including but not limited to handling customer support enquiries, processing transactions or customer freight shipping. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service.
