Optimised Software is committed to providing quality services to you and this policy outlines our ongoing obligations to you in respect of how we manage your Personal Information. We have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (the Privacy Act). The APPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure and dispose of your Personal Information. A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.aoic.gov.au

What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?
Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Personal Information may be obtained through information you provide.

Sensitive Information
Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about such things as an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or health information.

Information You Provide
We ask for an email address to verify your account. That's basically it. We don't ask for your name, address or anything else we don't need. The site does allow you to enter financial information. There is one section where you create a bank account. We don't need the actual bank account number. In fact, we don't want it and encourage you to give it a generic name - something you know, but no one else will know. You also create transactional information. Again, keep it generic. We don't store IP addresses as we don't need them. In a nutshell, if we don't need it, we don't collect it and we certainly won't sell it.

Cookies
The only persistent cookie used is one where you agree to understanding this privacy policy. We don't add any other persistent cookies. A sessional cookie is used while you visit the site to help with navigating through pages, but that's removed when you log out and close the browser.

Policy Updates
This Policy may change from time to time and is available on our website.
