We have recorded your IP, your host, referring URL, your location, your proxy details, your browser type, your email when provided, your operating system's details and other identifiable information. How will we use this and other information available or provided to us?

First, it should be understood that if you use this service for malicious purposes you will be banned. If a person makes a request for your personal details for the purpose of identification, that request will be honoured if it is determined by us that you have violated this privacy policy, our terms of service, or if you have used the service for malicious purposes. We will also assist with your swift identification. Abuse of this service will not be tolerated.

By posting here at www.usenet.com.au you agree that your post will propagate worldwide to hundreds - if not thousands - of news servers. Your post may never be deleted and may be archived on hundreds or even thousands of servers around the globe. It may never be deleted, cannot be edited, and cannot be recalled.

Usenet.com.au and all its subsidiary operators, designers, our hosting provider, coders, contractors and developers respect the privacy of every individual who visits our websites unless they demonstrate unlawful activity -- in which case we will not hesitate in providing information to law enforcement or other Internet Service Providers so they may easily identify you.

Usenet, and in particular Usenet.com.au, is not anonymous. This privacy statement provides notice of our information collection practices and of the ways in which your information may be used. This policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically to review this information. We will never disclose your details to anybody unless you make personal attacks or threats, post spam or conduct any acts of intimidation. We believe that any online trade or activity should be done in a way that will not infringe upon the anonymous freedoms that the visitor enjoys unless that visitor demonstrates unlawful behaviour that requires their identification.

If a person volunteers their email address to our mailing list, they agree to receive a very light load of information from us via email from time to time. An option to remove yourself from the mailing list is located from the main page. Removal is instant and a final email is sent to you as verification that your email is no longer on our database. If your email currently exists on our mailing list, then you have previously volunteered it to us or one of our subsidiary trading partners. We will not share your email with anybody at any price. It will only ever be used by us.

We do not condone SPAM, or unsolicited email; and we actively engage in the fight against it. We keep a running commentary of all the mailings on our web site so persons can verify that the mail they have received has come from, and is authorised, by us.

We conduct online trading in full accordance with Commonwealth privacy legislation and is mindful of the relevant laws affecting trade in different states and across international boundaries.
