The Corporate Excellence Group Online Privacy Statement

Introduction

This statement applies to your use of the web sites of The Corporate Excellence Group (referred to as "CEG"). This includes utilising any of CEG's facilities via the web sites.

Information technology continues to present exciting possibilities. However, many people are concerned about how their personal information will be treated. We recognise that our website users may have concerns about their confidentiality and privacy whilst online; therefore we are committed to ensuring the privacy and security of our users whilst using our web site.

In addition to the provisions of CEG's Privacy Policy Statement, there may also be specific and additional privacy provisions that apply to certain sections of the members' web sites. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, you should review them wherever they are accessible by you on the web sites.

How we use and disclose your information

• We will not disclose any information about you without your consent unless it is:
• Required by law;
• We believe it necessary in order to provide you with a service which you have requested;
• We suspect that your use of the website is in breach of the Terms of Use;
• To protect the rights or property of CEG, any CEG user or any member of the public; or
• To lessen a serious threat to a person's health or safety.

We will never share your personal information with a third party or allow a third party to promote its products and services directly to you without your explicit consent.

In order to operate the website or deliver a service you have explicitly requested, we sometimes share your personal information with an affiliate or with a service partner.
