This statement applies to user interactions with the Foundations for a City Web site, at http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/history/foundations/

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The City of Sydney accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any material contained herein and recommends that users exercise their own skill and care with respect to its use.

Privacy

The Foundations for a City web site makes some use of data that directly or indirectly identifies users. We take great care with practices that affect personal privacy.

Data collected by the City of Sydney

Data that in some way identifies the user is gathered during interactions with the 2003 Sydney Cabaret Convention Web site in the following circumstances:

Computer information
It is a necessary part of visiting any Web site, including the Foundations for a City site, that the user's Web browser provides the machine's identity (its IP address) to the Web server, so that the server can address the reply to the correct machine. In addition, the browser type and operating system are provided.

Navigation and ClickStream data
Browsing any Web site, including the Foundations for a City Web site, generates a trail of pages visited and the time apparently spent displaying each page. We do not use cookies on any area of the site that is accessible to the public.

Data storage, use and disclosure, and retention

All personal data described in the preceding section is stored in transmission logs, and archived for a period that is yet to be determined but is likely to be at least 12 months and quite probably seven years.

The data is used by the City of Sydney site software, and by staff involved in the City of Sydney Web site operation, only for:

  • Web site and system administration, including monitoring to prevent security breaches;
  • customisation of the Web site to the user's needs; and
  • evaluation, research and development.

Identified data can only be re-disclosed to the user if the user provides the unique request session number. Identified data may be disclosed to a third party only in circumstances in which such disclosure is legally authorised, such as in the investigation of a criminal offence, and in compliance with a search warrant or subpoena.

Accountability

The staff who operate the Foundations for a City Web site, and most Commonwealth government agencies, are subject to the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988.
