Privacy
Policy
IdeaBank
recognises the importance of your privacy and understands your concerns
about the security of your personal information. This privacy policy
describes generally how we manage your personal information and safeguard
your privacy.
The
National Privacy Principles
IdeaBank
is bound by the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) contained in the
Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). The NPPs establish
minimum standards for the private sector in relation to the collection,
handling, use, disclosure, management, access, correction and disposal of
personal information about natural persons. In summary, ‘personal
information’ is information or an opinion relating to an individual which
can be used to identify that individual.
Collection of Personal Information
We may
collect personal information in order to conduct our business, to provide
and market our services, and to meet our legal obligations. The types of
personal information we collect and hold includes (but is not limited to):
-
information you give us when
you instruct us to act for you including your name, address, occupation
and contact details;
-
information about other
individuals we collect in the course of acting for clients; and
-
information about other
people who come into contact with a member of the IdeaBank team.
We will generally
collect personal information by way of forms filled out by people,
face-to-face meetings, interviews, business cards, telephone conversations
and from third parties. We may also collect personal information from the
use of our website
www.ideabank.com.au.
The only information we collect about you when you use our website is
what you tell us about yourself, for example, information you provide to
us when you send us an email. However, please note that some of this
information will not be personal information because it will not reveal
your identity.
Use
and Disclosure of Personal Information
IdeaBank
may use and disclose your personal information for the primary purpose for
which it was collected, for reasonably expected secondary purposes, and in
other circumstances authorised by the Privacy Act. In general, we use and
disclose your personal information for the following purposes only:
-
to conduct our business;
-
to provide and market our
services;
-
to communicate with you; and
-
to comply with our legal
obligations.
We may
disclose your personal information to other members of the IdeaBank team,
other companies or individuals who assist us in providing services or who
perform functions on our behalf (such as mailing houses and specialist
consultants), courts, tribunals and regulatory authorities, and anyone
else to whom you authorise us to disclose it. We will take reasonable
steps to ensure that anyone to whom we disclose your personal information
respects the confidentiality of the information and abides by the NPPs or
equivalent privacy laws.
Access
to Personal Information
Subject to the
exceptions set out in the Privacy Act, you can gain access to personal
information that we hold about you by emailing
info@ideabank.com.au.
We will handle all requests for access to personal information in
accordance with the NPPs. If we refuse to give you access to your personal
information we will provide you with reasons for our refusal in accordance
with the Privacy Act.
Management of Personal Information
In
accordance with the Privacy Act, we take reasonable steps to protect the
security of your personal information. This includes protecting the
information from misuse or loss and from unauthorised access, modification
or disclosure, for example, by the use of physical security and restricted
access to electronic records. Where we no longer require your personal
information for a permitted purpose under the NPPs, we will take
reasonable steps to destroy it.
IdeaBank
endeavours to ensure that the personal information it holds is accurate,
complete and up-to-date. Generally, we will amend any personal information
about you held by us which is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date if you
request us to do so. If we disagree with your view about the accuracy,
completeness or currency of a record of your personal information held by
us, and you ask us to associate with that record a statement that you have
a contrary view, we will take reasonable steps to do so.
Sensitive Information
Some
personal information we collect is ‘sensitive information’. Sensitive
information includes personal information relating to a person’s health,
racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion, trade union or
other professional or trade association membership, sexual preferences, or
criminal record.
Sensitive
information will be used or disclosed only for the primary purpose for
which it was collected or a directly related secondary purpose, unless you
agree otherwise, or where certain other limited circumstances apply (for
example, where required by law).
Updates to Policy
We will review our
privacy policy from time to time to take account of new laws and
technology, changes to our operations and practices, and the changing
business environment. We will notify you about changes to our privacy
policy by posting an updated version on our website
www.ideabank.com.au.
