Privacy Policy

The Academy Library is committed to your right to privacy. Our privacy policy is stated below and is accordance with the UNSW Privacy Management Plan.

You may use the basic features of the Academy Library such as browsing the Library's Web pages and searching the online catalogue without registering, either as a guest, or as an authenticated user and for these actions we do not collect any personally identifiable information about you.

Borrower Registration:
During your use of library services, you may be prompted to register when you:

  • Choose the 'Borrower' link from the online catalogue pages
  • Order a document
  • Provide feedback

The data collected from a library borrower is collected either from student enrolment information or the Registration form that is presented to other clients when they choose to register for borrowing privileges. The information collected includes: name, e-mail address, telephone number, mailing address and other similar contact information.

Your information is kept confidential, unaltered and used only by us to help manage our relationship with you.

The information collected from the registration form is linked directly to a User Name and Borrower number and can only be retrieved by supplying the correct User Name and number linked to that profile. The personal and demographic information about each individual is stored on library servers which are behind a firewall and physically housed within a secure data centre.

How Registration Information is Used:
We use the information that you provide for purposes such as responding to your requests, customizing our services and for communicating with you.

A client's privacy is strictly maintained. We do not inform others about material on loan to or requested by a borrower. We do not provide or sell personal information to unrelated third parties for their own marketing activities.

Access to your Registration Information:
The information maintained for each registered client is entered in the Academy Library's databases and can be reviewed at any time by the validated client. This can be done by clicking on the 'Borrower' button in the online catalogue and viewing the information displayed.

The accuracy of the data is solely the responsibility of the client. If the information is incorrect, UNSW@ADFA students should amend their information via the University's 'Student Online' facility. Other clients should contact the Academy Library.

Our internal practices help protect your privacy by limiting employee access to and use of client information.

About this Privacy Policy:
This privacy policy applies solely to the information you provide while registered as a borrower with the Academy Library.

When you visit the Academy Library Web site you could be directed to other sites. These sites are beyond our control. You should be aware that other Web sites to which you link may contain privacy provisions which differ from our privacy provisions.

If you have any questions or comments regarding our privacy policy please contact us via the 'Comments/Suggestions' form on our Web site or by telephone: 02 6268 8116
