T-way


		This Privacy Policy applies to all the publicly accessible pages on the T-way web site located at http://www.t-way.nsw.gov.au. Transitways does not have any responsibility for the privacy policies or practices of third party sites linked to the T-way web site. Users of the T-way web site are entitled to expect that any information gathered as a result of that use will be treated within the terms of the New South Wales government’s privacy responsibilities and obligations. The New South Wales government’s privacy practices are regulated by the New South Wales Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1988. What information do we collect? When you look at the pages on the T-way web site, the computers on which the site is hosted automatically record statistical information that identifies, for each page accessed:
		the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the machine which has accessed it;
		your top-level domain name (such as .com or .au);
		the address of your server;
		the date and time of your visit to the site;
		the pages accessed and the documents downloaded;
		the previous site visited;
		the time you spend browsing the site; and
		the type of browser and operating system you have used. Cookies are not used on the T-way web site to collect information. Nor does Transitways link information automatically gathered through its web site with personal data about specific individuals. How do we use the information collected? The information collected during each visit is aggregated with similar logged information and published in reports in order for Transitways to identify patterns of usage of the site. This will assist us in improving the T-way web site and the services offered on it. Transitways will not disclose or publish information that identifies individual machines, or potentially identifies sub-groupings of addresses, without consent or otherwise in accordance with the New South Wales Privacy and Personal Information Act 1988. What exceptions are there to this rule? Transitways will collect, use and disclose more extensive information than stated above in the following circumstances:
		unauthorised attempts to access files which are not published T-way pages;
		unauthorised tampering or interference with files published on the T-way site;
		unauthorised attempts to index the contents of the T-way site;
		attempts to intercept messages of other users of the T-way site;
		communications which are defamatory, abusive, vilify individuals or groups or which give rise to a suspicion that an offence is being committed; and
		attempts to otherwise compromise the security of the web server, breach the laws of the State of New South Wales or Commonwealth of Australia, or interfere with the enjoyment of the T-way site by other used. Transitways reserves the right to make disclosures to relevant authorities where the use of the T-way site raises a suspicion that an offence is being, or has been, committed. In the event of an investigation, Transitways will provide access to data to any law enforcement agency that may exercise a warrant to inspect our logs. Transitways will collect personally identifying information about you when you have specifically and knowingly provided it to us via the ‘Contact Us’ feedback form. Is the information stored securely? Yes. Information collected is stored in an appropriately secure format and held by Transitways for archival purposes. When the information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected it is deleted. What will we do with information provided in feedback? Transitways provides a ‘Contact Us’ feedback facility on the T-way web site to allow users to comment on Transitways’ projects and services and to provide input into the future development of the site. Any feedback received is assessed then passed onto the most appropriate officer within Transitways or a related agency (such as the Roads and Traffic Authority, the Ministry of Transport or Western Sydney Buses). Replies and the original message are treated as official records and are saved and archived. Information will only be used for the purpose for which it was provided. If you check the appropriate box on the feedback form, we will not add your email address or name to any mailing list. Transitways may publish aggregated information about feedback on the site, to the extent that it does not identify or cannot be used to identify individual users. Who else has access to information within Transitways? The information is captured on the computers on which the site is hosted. Access to the raw data is restricted to a limited number of officers in Transitways for the purpose of analysis or to report on the success of the T-way site in meeting Transitways’ communication and access objectives. Will this policy be updated over time? Due to the developing nature of privacy principles for online communication, this policy may be modified or expanded in light of new developments or issues that may arise from time to time. The amended policy will be posted to this site and will operate from the time it is posted.
