PRIVACY POLICY
HitCity Pty Ltd is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will
not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what
is disclosed in this statement. HitCity Pty Ltd collects information from our users at
several different points on our website.
COOKIES
A cookie is a piece of data containing information about the user that a website can transfer to a user’s
computer hard drive for tracking (site usage) user navigation and customising site
information to further improve the user experience. Cookies can make using HitCity Pty Ltd’s
website easier, for example by storing information about a user’s preferences on our website.
This will enable a user to take full advantage of the services that HitCity Pty Ltd and its affiliate sites
offer. As a further security measure, we encrypt all cookies with an industry strength, 128-bit encryption
algorithm.
The use of cookies is an industry standard and most major websites use them. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.
INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique number used to identify every computer
directly connected to the internet. We use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer
the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses
are not linked to personally identifiable information.
SECURITY
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line. When you place an order with HitCity Pty Ltd, we offer the
use of a secure server. Taking advantage of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology,
HitCity Pty Ltd ensures the security of your online transaction. The industry standard
for encryption, SSL technology creates a secure transaction environment for
commerce on the Internet. SSL technology encrypts files allowing only HitCity Pty Ltd
to decode your information. Both Netscape and Internet Explorer indicate when you
are connected to a secure server. Netscape uses an unbroken key, while Internet
Explorer shows a closed lock indicating your session is secure. While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our
power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not
just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected
screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well
as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded
about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers’ information is protected. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate
to EMAIL us at feedback@hitcity.com.au
