Overseas Disclosure 

If we need to disclose your information to recipients or organisations based outside of Australia to provide Services to you, then wherever possible, we deal with such third parties who are bound by the provisions of the Act and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). If this is not possible we will make every reasonable effort to verify that they would otherwise comply with the APPs or we reasonably believe they are subject to laws or contractual obligations which effectively uphold the principles for the handling of personal information that are substantially like the APPs.

It is not practicable to list all countries we may disclose this information to, however, if you would like further information on this, please contact us. 

GDPR

STORAGE, DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

We have controls in place to protect against interference with personal information by way of unauthorised access, misuse, loss, modification, or disclosure including in the following ways:

• access to information collected from individuals is limited to authorised persons with a need-to know;
• our internal network, electronic records management system, and databases are protected using firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, antivirus, user authentication complexity and other IT security technologies and protocols;
• web transactions are conducted in accordance with PCI DSS standards;
• our web services are vulnerability tested against intrusion;
• our premises are under 24-hour surveillance and access is via security passes only with all access (and attempted access) logged electronically;
• we regularly conduct system audits and staff training to ensure we adhere to our established protective and IT security compliance and best practices; and
• aftercare measures are taken to support the removal of access to personal information when no longer required.

We take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information when it is no longer required for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed. However, it is not always practicable to destroy or de-identify electronic data. Where it is not reasonable to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information in electronic form, we will take reasonable steps to prevent inadvertent access to it.

REMAINING ANONYMOUS OR USING A PSEUDONYM

You have the right to contact us anonymously or using a pseudonym unless there is a legal requirement that prevents this.

ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may request access to personal information we hold about you. We will provide you with access as requested, if it is reasonable and practicable to do so. There may be a moderate charge for us to provide access and there may be instances where we refuse your request such as:

• providing access would pose a serious and imminent threat to the life or health of any individual;
• providing access would have unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;
• the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
• the information sought relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between you and us and that information would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings;
• providing access would be unlawful;
• denying access is required or authorised by or under law; or
• providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity.

If we deny your request for access, we will, where permitted by law, provide you with reasons for that denial. 

You may request corrections to any of your personal information that we hold to ensure the information is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading.
