Privacy Statement

DawnStar Technologies (DST) is committed to your privacy and guards your data carefully. 

Personal Information

DST does not share, disclose or sell any personally identifiable information collected at our site with other companies or organisations.

DST collects some personally identifiable information about you at different times depending which services or sites you may be utilising. If you are joining DST  we will request information such as your name, contact details, age and gender.

Besides the information we may request from you, we also collect information that we can use to improve DST's service and performance. This information does not identify you personally. When you visit a Web page we automatically record the URL requested, the time and date it's requested and the browser software being used.

The Use of Cookies to Collect Information

A cookie is message given to a Web browser by a Web server, which it stores for later use. The next time you go to the same Web site, your browser will send the cookie to the Web server. Cookies generally enhance your Internet experience, however if you would rather not receive cookies you can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. DST uses the information gathered from cookies to improve our products and services. Cookies do not personally identify users.

The Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

We use the information we collect about you (either specific or in aggregate) to help us: maintain accurate accounts, provide and change services and billing, answer your inquiries, market services and products, and to help make our services and website useful to you.

Under the Telecommunications Act, 1997 we may not disclose, sell, distribute, rent, licence, share or pass onto any third parties personal information you have provided to us, unless we have your consent to do so.

The only times we would use or disclose information is if:

    a) it is required by law
    b) we believe it is necessary to protect the rights or property of DST, a DST Internet user, or a member of the public
    c) we feel it is necessary to our terms of service.

Information Security

While DST undertakes all reasonable steps to protect your personal information, no guarantee can be given that information sent over the Internet is always 100% secure. Sending and receiving information over the Internet is at the user's own risk, however we will do everything possible to ensure your data security once we receive it.

Accessing or Updating Your Personal Information

Only authorised persons have access to your personal information, which we keep in a secure environment.

Further Pointers To Protect Your Privacy

  • DST  will never request your credit card details in an email. Do not ever submit your credit card details in email format.
  • DST has no control over other Web sites we may link to, and we take no responsibility for the conduct of these companies. Always read the Terms and Conditions when using other Web sites.
  • Ensure the confidentiality of your passwords and account details. If unauthorised access of your account occurs please inform us immediately.
  • Beware of posting personal information in public forums such as Internet chat groups or newsgroups. If you voluntarily disclose personal information it may be collected and used by others.
