This statement applies to your use of the websites of the Commonwealth Bank Group (referred to as 'the Group'). This includes utilising any of the Group's facilities via the website.
Information technology continues to present new and exciting opportunities. However, many people are concerned about how their personal information will be used. We recognise that our users may have concerns about their privacy and confidentiality whilst online. We are committed to ensuring the privacy and security of our users whilst using our website.
In addition to the provisions of the Group's Privacy Policy Statement, there may also be specific and additional privacy provisions that apply to certain sections of the Group members' website. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, you should review them wherever they are accessible by you on the website.
The information outlined below is an extract from the Commonwealth Bank Group's Privacy Policy Statement and related specifically to online use.
For statistical purposes we collect information on website activity (such as the number of users who visit the website, the date and time of visits, the number of pages viewed, navigation patterns, what country and systems users have used to access the site and, when entering our website from another website, the address of that website) through the use of 'cookies'. This information on its own does not identify an individual but it does provide us with statistics that we can use to analyse and improve our website.
We are committed to keeping secure the personal information you provide to us. We take all reasonable precautions to protect the personal information we hold about you from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
We have a range of physical and technology policies in place to provide a robust security environment. We ensure the on-going adequacy of these measures by regularly reviewing them.
Our online security measures include, but are not limited to:
A 'cookie' is a packet of information that allows the server (the computer that houses the website) to identify and interact more effectively with your computer.
When you use one of our website, we send you a temporary cookie that gives you a unique identification number. A different identification number is sent each time you use our website. Cookies do not identify individual users, although they do identify a user's browser type and your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screens to learn more about these functions. If you reject all cookies, you may not be able to use our website.
To evaluate the effectiveness of our website advertising, we may use third parties to collect statistical data. No personal data will be collected on these occasions.
