How is personal information collected?

SQLpark offers the opportunity to purchase, build, maintain and progress admin roles to all levels of skill for SQLpark clients.

Online registrations for members, via our website; and the provision of a shopping cart, updated information, is all designed to channel contact.

These sales channels use different ways to collect personal information about SQLpark customers. Generally, the personal information is collected directly from you. The shopping cart allows you to make a purchase, when you register as a SQLpark member through our website or when you have other business with us.

The types of personal information we collect will vary depending on your registration and explorations with SQLpark and the products, services and benefits we provide to you.

If you register with SQLpark or visit our website, the personal information we collect may include:

Your name, address and other contact details (like your telephone number); Your email address; Your date of birth; Transaction details relating to your purchase from us (e.g. credit card details) and, we may collect and use personal information about customers and SQLpark members to provide a range of products and services. The main reasons we collect this information is to process and fulfil your registration and purchase, to contact you if there is an event or offer cancellation or change in other details for an event.

We may also collect personal information to assist in identifying ways in which we can provide you with a better service, or enhance your experience of our website and mobile site.

How is personal information used and disclosed?

As detailed above, to contact you if there is an event cancellation or change in event details and to enhance your experience when using our website; and Disclosure to and use by third party contractors and service providers to help us operate our business or provide a service to you. SQLpark may disclose your personal information to third party contractors and service providers who help us operate our computer systems, provide us with fraud prevention services, send out our mail/email and clean collected data and who perform data analysis to group demographic attributes of individuals, such as "genres of likely interest".

SQLpark may disclose your personal information in certain limited circumstances as follows:

To third party contractors and service providers as detailed above;

SQLpark may disclose your personal information to these entities for the purposes of, for example, ensuring that information collected is accurate, complete and up-to-date, producing anonymised and aggregated information for the benefit of SQLpark and enabling us to better understand and meet your needs and interests.

Where SQLpark makes such disclosures, we take reasonable steps to require these organisations to agree to comply with the National Privacy Principles. Otherwise, SQLpark will only disclose personal information if this is required by law, permitted under the Privacy Act or where we have your consent to do so.

Sometimes SQLpark extracts information from our collected records to produce aggregated data. This aggregated data does not identify individuals. SQLpark uses the aggregated data for research purposes and may share the data with third parties.

Security of personal information

SQLpark protects the personal information it collects in a secure database, in proprietary data format, which can only be read using proprietary tools. In storing your information, we have taken a number of steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Data collected online is stored in a Microsoft SQL database, a protected, secure data centre that is unreachable by the internet. SQLpark encrypts data sent from your computer to our systems during internet transactions. SQLpark also employs firewalls, intrusion detection systems and virus scanning tools to protect against unauthorised persons and viruses from entering our systems. SQLpark staff are required, as a condition of their deployment, to treat personal information held by SQLpark as confidential, and to maintain the confidentiality of that personal information. They also are required to sign a confidentiality contract. They are also required to use a sign in and password when accessing SQLpark systems.

Non-customer information

Sometimes SQLpark needs to collect personal information about individuals who are not customers. This will usually arise where we collect the name and business contact details of a person who is the contact in a government agency or company with whom we deal. SQLpark policy is to only use personal information collected from non-customers for the main business purpose for which it was collected.
