Protection of Personal Information

Personal information we hold may be in electronic or hard copy form, onsite or with our trusted service providers. Any trusted service provider must observe and meet our information security requirements to minimise the risk of unauthorised access to, and loss, misuse or unapproved alteration of, personal information. We also have a number of security controls in place and use a range of resources, processes and technology to protect your personal information.

While we endeavour to protect the personal information of users of our website, we cannot guarantee the security of information you disclose online. You disclose that information at your own risk, and no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. You can help protect your personal information by keeping your account details confidential, using a unique and strong password, limiting access to your computer and logging out after use. If you become aware of unauthorised access, please let us know as soon as practicable.

Third party sites

We may display advertisements from third parties and other content that links to third party websites. Links to third party sites that are not operated or controlled by us are provided for your convenience. If you click on a third party advertisement or link, you are leaving our website and any personal information you provide will not be covered by this policy. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies before supplying any personal information.


Access and Correction

Access

If you would like access to the personal information we hold about you, please contact our Customer Service team. We will generally provide you with access, subject to some exceptions permitted by law. When making an access request, please provide as much detail as you can about the information you seek to help us retrieve it. We may ask you to verify your identity before proceeding, including by providing satisfactory proof of identity. If you have authorised a third party to submit a request on your behalf, we will ask them to prove they have your permission to act, or will contact you directly to seek your permission.

Correction

If you ask us to correct personal information we hold about you, or if we are satisfied that it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, we will take reasonable steps to correct it so that, having regard to the purpose for which it is held, it is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading. If we correct personal information we have previously disclosed to another organisation that is subject to the Privacy Act, you may ask us to notify that organisation, and we will take reasonable steps to do so unless this would be impracticable or unlawful. You should ensure that all personal information submitted to us is complete, accurate, true and correct. Failure to do so may result in our inability to provide you with the products and services you have requested.
