(l) we are required or authorised by law to do so;
(m) you may have expressly consented to the disclosure or the consent may be reasonably inferred from the circumstances; or
(n) we are otherwise permitted to disclose the information under the Privacy Act.
We may disclose personal information outside Australia in order to provide our products and services, and for administrative, IT, data storage or other business management purposes. We take steps reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that any overseas recipient handles your personal information in a way that provides comparable safeguards to those under the Privacy Act, unless you specifically consent to the overseas disclosure taking place without such steps being taken, or the disclosure is otherwise required or permitted by law.
Those overseas recipients may include our:
(a) related bodies corporate in the United Kingdom and New Zealand;
(b) funders and their related companies and service providers, including to such entities in Austria, Bermuda, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Mongolia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United States of America; and
(c) service providers (other than our funders) in Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, United Kingdom and United States of America.
You may request access or correction of the personal information that we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see details below). Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you). There is no charge for requesting access to your personal information, but we may require you to meet our reasonable costs in providing you with access (such as administrative and other reasonable costs including photocopying costs or costs for time spent on collating large amounts of material).
There may be instances in which we are not required to give you access to your personal information. For example, we may need to decline access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal.
To ensure that the personal information we collect and use is accurate, complete and up-to-date, you need to provide us with accurate, current and complete information as requested. If you believe or become aware that any of the personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate (for example, if you have changed address or contact details), you should request us to amend it.
If you have a complaint about the way in which we have handled any privacy issue, including your request for access or correction of your personal information, you should contact us. Our contact details are set out below.
We will consider your complaint and determine whether it requires further investigation. We will notify you of the outcome of this investigation and any subsequent internal investigation.
If you remain unsatisfied with the way in which we have handled a privacy issue, you may approach an independent advisor or contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (www.oaic.gov.au) for guidance on alternative course of action which may be available.
We take steps reasonable in the circumstances to prevent any misuse, interference or loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure to your personal data and to keep it secure. We store most information about you in computer systems and databases operated by either us or our external service providers. Some information about you is recorded in paper files that we store securely.
When you log into the secure section of our website we use a secure server. Any data you give us when you are logged into the secure section of our website is encrypted using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) session. SSL is an industry standard and is one of the best ways to ensure Internet messages are not intercepted. You should be aware, however, that some older browsers cannot use SSL. If your browser does not support 128-bit encryption (or higher) you will not be able to log into or use our secure website services.
Our general email enquiry forms are not sent via an encrypted channel and for this reason we ask that you do not include confidential information or sensitive personal information when using them.
Security of communications over the internet cannot be guaranteed, and therefore we cannot provide absolute assurance that information will be secure at all times.
We will also take steps reasonable in the circumstances to destroy or de-identify personal information once we no longer require it for the purpose for which it was collected or for any secondary purpose permitted under the APPs.
