Privacy Policy
The Westralian Indonesian Language Teachers’ Association (WILTA) respects your privacy. We will make every reasonable effort to ensure that any personal information you provide to us is used only for the purposes stated below. While the policy presented here concentrates on information collected by the WILTA website, it also applies to personal information submitted by other means (mail, fax, phone, sign-up sheets, and so on). Several areas of the WILTA website require that you send us personal information:
This information is received offline as well (mail, fax, phone). WILTA uses the demographic and professional information collected on membership, workshop, and other forms for aggregate analysis, to personalize our member records for better service, and to create targeted mailing lists. This information is also included in workshop attendee lists supplied to exhibitors and other responsible third parties.
In addition to the primary purpose stated or implied at the time the information is collected, we may use your postal mailing address to send you information about WILTA programs or actvities, surveys, etc. With the exception of the workshop attendee data, WILTA does not make its e-mail lists available to any third party.
WILTA members
Because of the special relationship we seek to maintain with our members, WILTA sends them periodic updates and announcements by e-mail. We may also make an occasional phone call (e.g., to clear up a problem or inquire about a lapsed membership). WILTA members can specify their preferred phone number and mailing address.
“Anonymous” information collected online
Generally speaking, you can visit the WILTA website without revealing any personal information about yourself. We do keep a record of all server activity, which means that every page, image, or other type of file requested by your browser is written into a log file. Each entry in the log contains, among other things, information about the computer you’re using to connect to the Internet (its “IP address”) and about your browser (e.g., which version of Internet Explorer you’re using). It does not, however, tell us anything about you personally. We use aggregate data from the web logs to determine how the site’s resources are being used and to refine its navigational structure. If the need arises, we may use the logs to trace the source of abusive or illicit activity. We do not share our web logs with any outside party.
Cookies
A “cookie” is a text file, stored on your computer, that includes information that identifies that computer and can be retrieved by our server to create a seamless browsing session. Most cookies used on the WILTA site are deleted when your browser is shut down or in a fixed amount of time, whichever occurs sooner. Members-only pages and other restricted areas use this type of cookie.
Material submitted online
Some areas of the WILTA website allow you to submit questions (i.e., contact WILTA), express your opinions or submit other information (i.e., Contribute to Warta WILTA). All submissions become the property of WILTA. Keep in mind that any information you post to bulletin boards and mailing lists etc. are immediately available to anyone with a web browser. Don’t give out more information than what you would like everyone in the world to know. You can, of course, edit or delete the messages you post there.
Links to other websites
The WILTA website contains links to other websites. WILTA is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Check the privacy policy of a website before revealing any personal information.
The WILTA Twitter feed and page (http://www.twitter.com/warta_wilta) is managed by volunteer WILTA members. Information posted via Twitter is authored by those individuals and does not necessarily represent the views of the WILTA committee or WILTA. This is an informal broadcast of information and currently in a trial period.
Exceptions
In certain circumstances, and as an exception to this privacy policy, we may, without notice to you, release information to comply with any valid legal process, or an attempt to breach the security of WILTA or its website.
Privacy policy updates
We have tried to create a privacy policy that is comprehensive, readable, and durable. Despite our best efforts, we may find it necessary to revise it. Any changes will be made without prior notice. The current WILTA privacy policy will continue to be posted at this address (http://www.wilta.org/privacy). If you have questions or comments about our privacy policy, please use the contact us form found in the menu at the top of this page.
This policy is modeled on the privacy policy of The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE, http://www.ncte.org/). WILTA is grateful to the NCTE for their generosity in sharing their policy model.
