Computershare wants to make your on-line experience satisfying and safe. Our aim
is to safeguard the privacy and security of your personal information whilst providing
a personalized service that meets your individual preference and needs. At all times
we will comply with the prevailing laws and regulations governing the confidentiality
and security of information.
What information do we obtain about you and what do we use it for?
Computershare collects information on-line primarily to make it easier for you to
use our services. Depending on the services which you are accessing, you may be
requested to provide personal information such as your name, address, e-mail address,
bank account details, proxy voting preferences and information on your current shareholdings.
We will use this information to maintain your account, process any requests and
to provide you with the best possible service. We will not use your information for any purpose for which you would not reasonably
expect us to use it.
Security precautions
We employ appropriate technical security measures to protect your personal information
and to ensure that it is not accessed by unauthorized persons. Information is held
on secure servers and is encrypted wherever this is possible. This is the same encryption
used to transmit credit card details over the Internet when buying merchandise online.
Our security procedures also provide that, in addition to any password, which you
may require to gain access to the service, you may have to provide proof of identification
before we will release personal information to you. Multiple incorrect attempts
or invalidation, result in a lockout from the information. We undergo periodic reviews
of our security policies and procedures to ensure that our systems are secure and
protected.
You should never divulge your identification numbers, username, or password to anyone
else. You should also never write your password down or store it on your computer
and you should make sure you change it regularly.
Accessing and updating your information
You may request a copy of the information, which we hold about you by writing to
us at our nearest office. There may be a small charge for this service. We also
try to ensure that all information, which we hold for you, is accurate. If you find
any inaccuracies we will delete these or correct them promptly. Communication with
you may be impeded if the information we hold is inadequate or inaccurate.
This Statement only applies to this website and does not apply to any websites from
which you may have linked to this website or to any website to which you may link
from this website.
Changes to Privacy Policy
Computershare may change this privacy policy from time to time. Each time you visit
the website, please see the “Effective Date” to determine if it has been revised
since the last time you entered the site. A “Revised” notation will serve as notice
to you that changes have been made.
