- Online visitors – In general, you can visit the cbfe.inc website without telling us who you are or revealing anything about yourself.

However, this information is only used for statistical purposes and website development.
We will generally collect the personal information directly from you, including when you contact us by email, through our website, over the telephone, fax or in person.

We disclose your information to the third parties listed below, for those purposes outlined in this privacy policy, and only to the extent necessary for those third parties to perform their duties to us:

3. Security of your personal information
Once any personal information comes into our possession, we will take all reasonable steps to protect that information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure in compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act.
We remind you, however, that the internet is not a secure environment and that no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
