Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through WAM public or member message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: WAM does not read any of your private online communications.
WAM encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from WAM so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. WAM is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the WAM and WAM family of websites.

This data is used to deliver customised content and advertising within WAM to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
WAM websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on WAM or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of WAM; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of WAM, or the public.
The WAM website uses “cookies” to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise WAM pages, or register with WAM site or services, a cookie helps WAM to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same WAM website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the WAM features that you customised.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the WAM services or websites you visit.
WAM secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. WAM secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
WAM will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. WAM encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how WAM is protecting your information.
WAM welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you believe that WAM has not adhered to this Statement, please contact WAM at hello@wam.org.au. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
