About www.edueducators.com.au

www.edueducators.com.au offers an online communication and networking program that enables users to establish their own personal profiles and to link with their network of friends associated with their past education linkages. The site's members can communicate with old friends, establish links with 'lost' school or university associates, network together and receive latest information on education news and developments.

Site registrants can modify their profile information at any time while controlling how other users communicate with them based on a firm assurance and commitment that a user’s personal information will remain confidential through a strict privacy requirement.

Information collection and use of data

When you register on www.edueducators.com.au you provide certain information such as your name, date of birth and email address to authenticate your log on and enable future direct access to the site. As part of the log on process you are encouraged to provide certain additional information such as workplace details, interests, education, occupation and possible affiliation with your school, university or college.

By providing such additional information you facilitate more extensive interaction and networking between fellow site users based on your mutually shared past education links or your current and future workplace interests. This extension of user contact more comprehensively fulfills the inter-relational advantages provided by the www.edueducators.com.au online service and broadens the links of mutual interest among site users. Such additional information sought from site users is broadly similar to user information requested by most education institutions operating their own portal or online website information service.

www.edueducators.com.au also logs non-personally-identifiable information including IP address, profile information and browser type from users and visitors to better manage the site and provide improved website services.
