The nature of the personal information we collect and hold, and where it comes from, will vary according to the circumstances in which we are dealing with you. Personal information comes from you personally, your agents, documentation, correspondence (including facsimile, telephone, email, via our website), and from third parties.

The circumstances in which we may need to do this include where we need information from a third party to assist us to provide the services. We will advise you if this is necessary.

HOLDING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may hold your personal information in physical form or in electronic form on our systems or the systems of our service providers.

Our systems and procedures are designed to prevent your personal information from being accessed by unauthorised personnel, lost, or misused. If you reasonably believe that there has been unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information please contact our Privacy Officer (details below).

If we no longer need your personal information we will take reasonable steps to destroy or securely delete your personal information in accordance with our document retention policy, unless we are required under an Australian law or a court or tribunal order to retain it.

Where appropriate or required, we will require our service providers that hold and process such information on our behalf to follow appropriate standards of security and confidentiality.

DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

In order to deliver the services, we may disclose your personal information to other organisations but only in relation to providing our services to you. We take reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations are bound by privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.

We obtain services from other external service providers, some of which may be located outside Australia, and your information may be provided to them for this purpose. We may also need to disclose your personal information to other third parties for the purposes of providing services to you.

Some of these recipients may be located outside Australia. It is not reasonably practicable to list all of the countries to which your information may be transmitted from time to time.

We will not adopt, use or disclose a government-related identifier unless permitted by the Privacy Act.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations are bound by privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.

We may at some time in the future have an association with Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets so as to provide personalised content to you. In such circumstances, Facebook may provide us with information that you have chosen to make available to us. You will be able to turn off any personalisation through the relevant social media outlet.

ACCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You are entitled under the Privacy Act to access personal information we hold about you by contacting our Privacy Officer (details below). 
Should you require access to your personal information, please request access and be specific about the information you require.
We will need to validate the identity of anyone making an access request, to ensure that we do not provide your information to anyone who does not have the right to access that information.

Gaining access to your personal information is subject to some exceptions allowed by law. Factors affecting a right to access include where:

(a) we reasonably believe that access would pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual, or to public health or public safety;
(b) access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others;
(c) the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
(d) the information relates to a commercially sensitive decision-making process;
(e) access would be unlawful;
(f) denying access is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order;
(g) access would prejudice enforcement activities or the taking of appropriate action in relation to unlawful activity or serious misconduct;
(h) the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between you and us and would not be accessible by the process of discovery; or 
(i) the information would prejudice negotiations with you.

There is no charge for making an access request. Your request will be dealt with in a timely manner.

CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We take all reasonable precautions to ensure that the personal information we collect, use, and disclose is accurate, complete, up-to-date, and relevant.
If you believe that this is not the case in relation to any personal information we hold about you, you have the right under the Privacy Act to request that we correct that information. Please contact the Privacy Officer in this instance.
If we do not agree with a request to correct information we hold in relation to you we will give you notice in writing as to our reasons and the mechanisms available to you to complain about our decision.

You may also request us to associate a statement with that information to the effect that the information is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading so that it is apparent to users of the information.
When contacting us, you have the option to either not identify yourself or to use a pseudonym. However, this will not apply if it is impracticable for us to communicate with you that way or if we are required or authorised under Australian law (or a court or tribunal order) to only deal with individuals who have identified themselves.
