If a third party seeks access to your personal information, we will make reasonable efforts to guide them to request the information directly from you, provided it is lawful and reasonable for us to do so.
Security Of Personal Information
Within our organisation, personal information is stored in both electronic and hard-copy form. We are dedicated to ensuring the security of your personal information, irrespective of its storage method, and we undertake all reasonable measures to safeguard your data from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. Nonetheless, accessing our Website is at your own risk, and we bear no liability, irrespective of whether negligence has been established or not, in the case of a security breach that compromises your privacy.
It's important to acknowledge that no data transmission over the Internet can be assured to be entirely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information to the best of our ability, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to or receive from us. The exchange and transmission of information happen at your own risk.
Ensuring The Accuracy And Quality Of Personal Information
We commit to undertaking all reasonable steps under the given circumstances to ensure that:
-
● The information we collect from you remains accurate, current, and complete; and
-
● The personal information we utilise or disclose is, considering the purpose of its use or disclosure,
accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant.
In most instances, you possess the right to access the personal information we maintain about you.We handle all requests for access to personal information promptly. Requests involving a significant amount of information or information not actively in use may take additional time to process.
Should retrieving your information incur a cost due to an unknown cause resulting in significant additional time, we may charge you a reasonable fee for access. However, you will not be charged for making the request for access itself.
Before any fees are applied, you will be informed of the fee's calculation or the total cost, if determinable. You will then have the choice to continue with your request.
There are circumstances where access to your personal information may be denied. These include, but are not limited to, situations where denial is mandated or authorised by Australian law or a court/tribunal order, or where access would be unlawful; negatively affect others' privacy; hinder an investigation of illegal activities; impact our negotiation strategies detrimentally; affect enforcement activities; disclose evaluative information within our business relevant to a commercially sensitive decision-making process.
Access will also be denied if the personal information is part of ongoing or anticipated legal proceedings and would not be accessible by discovery in those proceedings, if the request is considered frivolous or vexatious, or if access could pose a serious threat to the life, health, or safety of any individual or to public health or safety. If access could prejudice actions against serious misconduct or unlawful activity within our operations, it will also be denied.
If we refuse access, we will explain why, except where it would be unreasonable to do so. We will explore ways to grant access without fulfilling the grounds for refusal. Additionally, we will advise on how you may lodge a complaint about our decision.
These procedures for accessing your personal information are in addition to, not a replacement for, other informal or legal means available to you for accessing your personal information.
Updating Your Personal Information
Maintaining the accuracy of your personal information that we have collected is of great importance to us. If you believe or discover that the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or misleading, please get in touch with us.
We will address all requests to update personal information promptly. Requests involving substantial amounts of information or information not actively in use may need more time for a response.
Should we decide not to amend your personal information as you have requested, we will explain the reasons for our refusal, except where providing such reasons would be unreasonable under the circumstances. We will also inform you about how you can lodge a complaint regarding our decision. Additionally, if we refuse your correction request, you have the right to ask us to attach a statement to the relevant information indicating that you believe it to be inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or misleading.
If we have made corrections to your personal information, you have the right to ask us to notify any third parties to whom we have disclosed the incorrect information of these corrections.
The processes for amending your personal information are supplementary to, not a substitute for, other informal or legal means available for correcting your personal information.
