This security and privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") governs your use of this Site. The Privacy Policy, may be amended by the IEEE Vic Section Women in Engineering Group (WIE) at any time by posting the amended policy on this Site.

Information We Collect From You, How We Use the Information and Opt-out Choices

There are a number of areas in the WIE Web Site where we ask for and collect information about you, including personally identifiable information. Where we do, it is in order to serve you better, or is necessary to accomplish the service you are requesting. Examples include contact forms and event registration forms.
Information provided to this Site is processed and stored on computers in Australia.

Using Encryption

There are constantly changing restrictions in the use of encryption software and schemes that are used in various countries. The use of appropriate software and encryption options are your responsibility, and WIE assumes no risk or liability in ensuring your compliance to local law.

Regardless of the precautions taken by you or WIE, "perfect security" does not exist on the internet. WIE cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to this site or to WIE, and you transmit such information at your own risk.

General IEEE Web Server Security

All of the IEEE Web servers throughout the main network are registered through Verisign as secure servers using industry-standard certificate techniques. This enables all communication between our servers to be verified when services are requested between our computers.

All of the personal information collected from you on the Site, including names, addresses, are stored behind a "firewall," and defenses have been erected to seek to enhance the protection of your information from outside attack by hackers and curious visitors.

Links to Third Parties

This Site contains links to other sites. WIE is not responsible for the terms or privacy practices of such other sites and you should read their terms and privacy policy carefully before using them.

Legal Requests

The IEEE cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties, to enforce laws. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us, service or content providers we work with, or you to possible legal liability.
