Protecting the users of the Arrive alive web site is of the highest concern of the MAA. This privacy policy is to help you understand what kind of information we may gather while you are using the Arrive alive web site, what we do with that information, who has access to that information, and the choices you have regarding our use of the information you provide to the MAA as part of your interaction on the Arrive alive web site.

The MAA aims to provide you with a satisfying online experience while you use the Arrive alive web site and works to ensure you maintain control over your privacy. This policy applies only to Arrive alive web site and not to any other web sites or organisations to which the MAA Arrive alive web site has hyperlinks.

Information Collected

The MAA Arrive alive web site collects information regarding your computer abilities to primarily make this web site and its services easy to use.

During your use of the Arrive alive web site and its content, you may be asked to provide information such as your name, email address and personal contact information. It is entirely your choice on whether you wish to provide this information.

There are two types of information the MAA Arrive alive web site may collect, anonymous and personal information.

Anonymous Information

Anonymous information is data we collect about where users go when visiting the MAA Arrive alive web site, such as 2,000 users visit the "Youth Week" page when they visited the web site on a particular day. This anonymous information does not provide the MAA Arrive alive program with any personal information such as names, addresses or birth dates. You can access this service at any time and remain anonymous if you choose.

Anonymous Information: How we use it

The MAA Arrive alive web site gathers anonymous information to be used to inform the MAA on the use of the information it provides through the Internet. It is used in an aggregate form similar to information used for television ratings, when on the Internet it's called 'traffic'.

Traffic statistics allow the MAA Arrive alive program to determine which parts of the web site are popular with our online visitors, and to ensure that we can continue providing appealing and relevant information.

The MAA may publish and provide this aggregate traffic data to other organisations and bodies.

Personal Information

Personal information collected by the MAA Arrive alive web site includes information that lets us know specifically, your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and other details of your private life you choose to provide us.

With the personal information the MAA Arrive alive web site collects, the MAA Arrive alive program can provide more personalised services and activities to you that are not provided to anonymous web site visitors.

When the MAA Arrive alive web site prompts you for specific information such as when you sign up for a service run by the MAA Arrive alive web site, certain information, such as your contact details may need to be provided. The MAA Arrivealive program may use this information to inform you of more activities that may be of interest to you, however you can choose not to receive such information when you are providing your personal information to the MAA Arrive alive web site.

The MAA Arrive alive web site may also ask you to fill-in online surveys about your interests, but it is your decision whether you choose to respond. The amount of personal information you choose to provide the MAA Arrive alive web site is completely up to you.

Personal Information: how we use it

The MAA Arrive alive will only use the personal information you provide us with for the purpose which it has provided. The MAA Arrive alive program will not use it for any other purpose without your consent.

Disclosure of personal information

The MAA Arrive alive program may need to disclose your personal information to third parties. This may occur when the MAA Arrive alive program is required by law to disclose the information, or when third parties are used to provide services that you have requested. The disclosure of your personal information will only be made when it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which you have provided it to the MAA Arrive alive program. Otherwise, unless you authorise us to do so, we do not disclose any personal information provided to us to any organisation or person outside of the MAA.

Under no circumstances does the MAA Arrive alive program sell or receive payment for licensing, or disclosing your personal information. The MAA suggests that while you are visiting the MAA Arrive alive web site you use your discretion and exercise caution when you choose to provide your personal information.

Remember, whenever you provide personal information in publicly accessible places, such as chat rooms and message boards, this information becomes available to anyone with access to the Internet. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may then receive unsolicited emails from other parties. The MAA recommends you do not post personal information in areas that can be seen by the public. You are ultimately responsible for maintaining your privacy. Practice caution and discretion when online.
