Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy
Welcome to Wollongong College Australia (WCA). In the course of your contact with WCA we may collect some information about you. To enable you to progress your dealings with WCA it may be necessary for us to pass this information to our related controlled entities and service providers.

WCA is committed to ensure that your privacy is protected. We take all reasonable steps so that the collection, use, disclosure and handling of your information by WCA complies with the law.

This page provides a summary of WCA's Privacy Policy and is not intended to be a detailed description of the Policy.

A full explanation of the National Privacy Principles to which WCA adheres can be found at http://www.privacy.gov.au

WCA's  Internet Privacy Policy
This section explains our policy regarding any personal information you might supply to us when you visit our websites. Our goal is to protect your information on the Internet in the same way that we protect it in all the other ways we interact with you.
You can visit this site and find out about WCA. During your visit to the site, WCA does not collect any personally identifiable information about you that you do not specifically volunteer.

We do however automatically collect certain non-personally-identifiable information, such as your browser type and the IP address that your ISP designates to your machine (which, with dial-up accounts, usually changes every time you connect). This is standard practice for websites, and is not used for any purpose other than to evaluate how we can design the site to best serve your needs. This information is not passed on to any third party.

In order to provide better service or to address security hazards we will occasionally use a "cookie".

A cookie is a small piece of information, which a Web site stores on your Web browser on your PC and can later retrieve. The cookie cannot be read by a Web site other than the one that set the cookie.
