Accordingly, we have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act).

What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?

Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of Personal Information we collect include: names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, avatar images, birthdays and marital status.

This Personal Information is obtained in many ways including through registration on www.gday.ru, posting on our blog and forum, member settings, email, from social media and third party login, from media, from other publicly available sources, from cookies and from third parties. We don’t guarantee website links or policy of authorised third parties.

We collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our services to you, providing information to our clients and marketing. We may also use your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. You may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by contacting us in writing.

When we collect Personal Information we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, gday.ru collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Gday.ru’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how gday.ru’s visitors use its website. From time to time, gday.ru may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Gday.ru also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on http://gday.ru forum posts. Gday.ru only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to gday.ru choose to interact with gday.ru in ways that require gday.ru to gather personally-identifying information including, but not limited to registration with our forums. The amount and type of information that gday.ru gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for the forums to provide a username and email address.

Further we collect the content, communications and other information you provide when you use our Website, including when you sign up for an account, create or share content, and message or communicate with others. This can include information in or about the content you provide (like metadata), such as the location of a photo or the date a file was created. It can also include what you see through features that we provide, such as our visa tools.

Please note in the provision of information on our forums such as your religious views, political views, your visa status or your health, racial or ethnic origin, philosophical beliefs or trade union membership could be subject to special protections under the laws of your country.

Message boards/forums: Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately for these services in order to post messages, although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.

E-mail/message this to a friend: Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else through the forum. The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.

Polling: We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. Gday.ru may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.

Surveys: Gday.ru may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

Our usage of Personally-Identifying Information

We collect information about how you use our Website, such as the types of content you view or engage with; the features you use; the actions you take; the people or accounts you interact with; and the time, frequency and duration of your activities. For example, we log when you're using and have last used our Website, and what posts, videos, photos and other content you view on our Website. We also collect information about which forum discussions you participate in and contribute to. We also use the information we have to verify accounts and activity, combat harmful conduct, detect and prevent spam and other bad experiences, maintain integrity, and promote safety and security

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.

Sensitive information will be used by us only:

• For the primary purpose for which it was obtained
• For a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose
• With your consent; or where required or authorised by law.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Your Personal Information may be disclosed in a number of circumstances including the following:

• Third parties where you consent to the use or disclosure; and
• Where required or authorised by law.

Security of Personal Information

Your Personal Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.

When your Personal Information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your Personal Information. However, most of the Personal Information is or will be stored in client files which will be kept by us for a minimum of 7 years.

Forum posts and public information

Public information can be seen by anyone, including site visitors that don't have an account with us. This includes your username; any information and any content you share on our forums. You, other registered users, and we can provide access to or send public information to anyone on or off our Website, in search results, or through tools and APIs. Public information can also be seen, accessed, reshared or downloaded through third-party services such as search engines, APIs, and offline media such as TV, and by apps, websites and other services that integrate with us. 

You should consider who you choose to share with, because people who can see your activity on our Website can choose to share it with others on and off our Forums, including people and businesses outside the audience you shared with. For example, when you send a message to specific registered member, they can then download, screenshot, or reshare that content to others across or off our Website. Also, when you comment on someone else's post or react to their content, your comment or reaction is visible to anyone who can see the other person's content.

These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Australian Visa Portal and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Links To External Sites
