This Privacy Policy is Sumer Digital’s official online privacy policy and it applies to all personal information collected by Sumer Digital. In this policy we explain how and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, and what controls you have over our use of it.

Sumer Digital is committed to complying with Commonwealth legislation governing privacy of personal information by businesses and to protecting and safeguarding your privacy when you deal with us.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Some information provided to us by clients, customers, contractors and other third parties might be considered private or personal. Without these details we would not be able to carry on our business and provide our services to you. We will only collect such personal information if it is necessary for one of our functions or activities. In particular, personal information is collected from people in the following situations by Sumer Digital:

• If you contact Sumer Digital, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
• When you submit your e-mail address to our web site mailing list.

At or before the time the personal information is collected by us we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of who we are, the fact that you are able to gain access to the information held about you, the purpose of the collection, the type(s) of organisations to which we usually disclose the information collected about you, any laws requiring the collection of the information and the main consequences for you if all or part of the information is not collected.

USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OTHERS

We may use or disclose personal information held about an individual for the primary purpose for which it is collected (eg. provision of our services, including administration of our services, notification to you about changes to our services, record-keeping following termination of our services to you and technical maintenance). We may also use such information for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and where it would reasonably be expected by you that we would use the information in such a way. This information is only disclosed to persons outside our business in the circumstances set out in this policy or as otherwise notified to you at the time of collection of the information.

In addition we are permitted to use or disclose personal information held about you:

• Where such use or disclosure is required under or authorised by law (for example, to comply with a subpoena, a warrant or other order of a court or legal process);
• Where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for prevention, investigation, prosecution and punishment of crimes or wrongdoings or the preparation for, conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal or the implementation of the orders of a court or tribunal by or on behalf of an enforcement body.

SECURITY AND STORAGE

Sumer Digital places a great importance on the security of all information associated with our customers, clients and contractors. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control.

Information stored within our computer systems can only be accessed by those entrusted with authority and computer network password sanctions.

No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 per cent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect user’s personal information, Sumer Digital cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or from its online products or services, and users do so at their own risk. Once Sumer Digital receives your transmission, it makes every effort to ensure its security on its systems.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for keeping your passwords and/or account information secret. You should be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Sumer Digital is committed to maintaining accurate, timely, relevant and appropriate information about our customers, clients and web-site users.

So long as your request for your personal information is in accordance with the National Privacy Principles, then we will give you access to that information.

Inaccurate information will be corrected upon receiving advice to this effect from you. To ensure confidentiality, details of your personal information will be passed on to you only if we are satisfied that the information relates to you.

If we refuse to provide you with access or correct the personal information held about you by us, then we will provide reasons for such refusal.

COMPLAINTS

If you have a complaint about our Privacy Statement or the collection, use or safe disposal or destruction of your personal information, your complaint should be directed in the first instance to us.

We will investigate your complaint and attempt to resolve any breach that might have occurred in relation to the collection, use or destruction of personal information held by us about you in accordance with the Commonwealth Privacy legislation.

Email Policy

Mass Mailings

Sumer Digital has a zero stance policy on SPAM, Junk E-mail or UCE. Spam, Junk-mail and UCE are defined as: the sending of the same, or substantially similar, unsolicited electronic mail messages, whether commercial or not, to more than one recipient. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited the message. UCE also includes e-mail with forged headers, compromised mail server relays, and false contact information. This prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which in any way implicates the use of Sumer Digital’s services whether or not the message actually originated from our network.

Mailing Lists

Sumer Digital’s mass mailing rules also apply to mailing lists, list servs, or mailing services you may contract with. The policy is stated as follows: An acceptable mailing list will be focused at a targeted audience that has voluntarily signed up for your e-mail information or that has made their e-mail address available for distribution of information from you. The list must also allow for automatic removal by all end Customers with non-distribution in the future.

If your actions have caused Sumer Digital’s mail servers or Sumer Digital’s IP address ranges to be placed on blackhole lists and other mail filtering software systems used by companies on the internet, you will be assessed a $1500 charge to your account and $900per hour for administrative charges incurred to remove and protect mail servers and IP ranges.

Use of Email Accounts

Sumer Digital provides a certain number of email accounts to web hosting customers. This facility should only be used for customer’s direct staff and/or families. Sumer Digital specifically prohibits the use of our web hosting’s email facility to provide email service, whether it is free or fee based to the general public. For example, you cannot provide free email service such as hotmail based on our web hosting email facility.

Sumer Digital will cooperate fully with any criminal investigation into a Customer’s violation of the USA’s Child Protection Act of 1984 or the Australian equivalent concerning child pornography. Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over Sumer Digital’s servers, and will be liable for illegal material posted by their clients.

This includes, but is not limited to, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights.

Creative, utilizing, or distributing unauthorized copies of software are a violation of federal and state law. If you copy, distribute or install the software in ways that the license does not allow, you are violating federal copyright law. Sumer Digital will cooperate with all law enforcement agencies in relation to alleged copyright infringement housed in our datacenters / servers.

When Sumer Digital becomes aware of an alleged violation of its Acceptable Use Policy, Sumer Digital will initiate an investigation. During the investigation Sumer Digital may restrict Customer’s access in order to prevent further possible unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, Sumer Digital may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate Customer’s account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, Sumer Digital will notify the appropriate law enforcement department of such violation.
