Privacy Policy
Personal information is important.
Amanda Cassar (AFS) is committed to safeguarding personal privacy. It recognises that individuals have a right to control how their personal information is collected and used. Providing personal information is an act of trust and it is taken seriously. Unless given consent to do otherwise, AFS will only collect and use personal information as set out below.
AFS has developed and implemented its Global Basic Principles on Personal Information which reflect world best practice on privacy policies. These principles meet and exceed the requirements of the Australian privacy legislation.
Collecting personal information.
AFS will not collect or monitor any personal information about an individual
without their consent. The only personal information collected is what
has been provided voluntarily. At any time users may monitor, change
and delete any personal information about them stored on the AFS website.
Use of cookies.
Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to a computer's
hard disk for record keeping purposes. Most web browsers are set to accept

such as site layout settings. The cookies used to not destinguish between

Personal Information will be used for the following primary purpose:
- To provide information about current AFS products, services and special
offers.
- To render services related to AFS business.
- To obtain opinions or comments about AFS products, services and special
offers.
AFS and AFS group companies recognise the trust with which individuals provide personal information, and such information will not be used or disclosed for any other purposed without consent, except in exceptional cases when disclosure may be required by law or is necessary to protect the rights or property of AFS, any AFS group company, or any member of the public, or to lessen a serious threat to a person's health or safety.
Contact by AFS.
AFS may contact individuals using the information which was provided in

Individuals have the right to review, delete and change the personal information
that may be recorded in the AFS database. Information may be reviewed,
changed and deleted by either contacting AFS or logging in to the AFS

Storage and security of personal information.
AFS will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any personal
information recorded, and to keep this information accurate and up to
date. The information is stored on secure servers that are protected
in controlled facilities. AFS employees and data processors are obliged
to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by AFS.
However, security of communications over the Internet cannot be guaranteed,
and therefore absolute assurance that information will be secure at all
times cannot be given. AFS will not be held responsible for events arising
from unauthorised access to personal information.
