Anonymity

You do not need to provide us with your Personal Information and you may interact with us on an anonymous or pseudonymous basis. However, if you choose to interact with us in this fashion, or if you do not provide us with Personal Information when requested, we may be unable to provide you with all the goods and/or services that you seek from us.

Further, we may need to verify your identity as part of our response to a request to access and/or correct Personal Information we hold about you, or as part of our complaints-handling process. If we are unable to verify your identity, or you continue to engage with us in an anonymous or pseudonymous manner, we may be unable to satisfy your request or complete our complaints-handling process.

Cross Border Transfers

Third parties to whom we disclose Personal Information may be located outside Australia. Additionally, information (including Personal Information) may be hosted for us in data centers located outside Australia, including in Europe, the USA and/or other countries as determined by us from time to time at our discretion. In the event we disclose Personal Information to a third party located outside Australia, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the third party recipient has implemented and maintains reasonable security mechanisms to protect the information.

Wherever reasonably practicable, we will first seek your consent to such cross-border disclosure. Where you consent to such disclosure, we will be exempt from the requirements of the Act in relation to such disclosed information. Where it is not reasonably practicable for us to obtain your consent, we will otherwise comply with the requirements of Act in relation to such disclosed information.

You have the right to inform us that you do not wish for us to send information to you other than for the primary purpose for which we collect your Personal Information. We will always attempt to ensure that our disclosure of Personal Information to other organizations is carried out in a manner which does not personally identify individuals, to the extent that it is practicable and lawful to do so.

Direct Marketing

We may directly market our products and/or services to an individual on the basis that the individual would reasonably expect us to do so, where we have already collected the individual’s Personal Information. Where we collect information about an individual from a third party, we will not use that information to directly market to that individual unless that individual provides us with consent (either express or implied). In directly marketing our products and services, we will comply with other laws relevant to marketing, including the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 (Cth) and the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). All direct marketing communications which we send will include an easy opt-out procedure if at any time you wish for us to stop sending you marketing communications.

Accuracy

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, the accuracy of the information we hold largely depends on the accuracy of information supplied to us. If at any time you discover that any information we hold about you is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, please contact us to correct the information.

Accessing and Correct Personal Information

Where we hold Personal Information about an individual, that individual is entitled at any time (upon request) to access the Personal Information we hold about that individual. Where we receive a request to access the Personal Information we hold about an individual, we will respond within a reasonable period of time. Unless it is impracticable for us to do so, we will generally provide access to the requested information in the manner requested.

Please note that we are entitled to charge a reasonable administrative fee to cover our costs incurred in providing access to the Personal Information we hold about an individual. Please also note that we reserve the right to verify the identity of the person making an access request, to ensure that we are not inadvertently disclosing Personal Information to an individual not entitled to access such information.

Further, we reserve the right to redact the information we make available in response to an access request, to protect the privacy of other individuals.

We may from time to time refuse to provide access to the information we hold about an individual, in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Where we refuse access, we will explain the reasons for refusal in writing and provide details in relation to the relevant complaint process.

If at any time an individual believes that Personal Information we hold is incorrect, incomplete, outdated or inaccurate, the individual has the right to request that we amend such Personal Information. If we refuse the correction request, then we will provide written reasons and information about the complaints-handling process should the individual not be satisfied with those reasons.

Where information about an individual is corrected and the information has been disclosed to third parties prior to the correction, we will take reasonable steps to notify the third parties of the correction.

Lodging a Complaint

If you wish to complain about an alleged breach of the privacy of your Personal Information, the complaint should be made in writing to us at the email address below. We will promptly acknowledge receipt of your complaint and we will endeavor to deal with your complaint and to provide you with a response within a reasonable period of time following receipt of your complaint (generally within 30 days of receipt).

Where a complaint requires a more detailed investigation, it may take longer to resolve. If this is the case, then we will provide you with progress reports.

We will verify your identity and seek (where appropriate) further information from you in connection with your complaint.

Where required by law, we will provide our determination on your complaint to you in writing.

Please note that we may refuse to investigate or otherwise deal with a complaint if we consider it to be vexatious or frivolous.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you may write to us seeking an internal review of our decision. Such internal review will be completed by an officer not previously involved in your complaint.

If you still remain dissatisfied following the result of the internal review, you may escalate your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
