Our Personal Information Handling Practices 

Our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988

This privacy policy sets out how we comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988. As an Australian Company we are bound by the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) in the Privacy Act which regulate how companies may collect, use, disclose and store personal information and how individuals may access and correct personal information held about them.

In this privacy policy, personal information (as defined in the Privacy Act) means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.

Collection
It is our usual practice to collect personal information directly from the individual.

Sometimes we collect personal information from a third party or a publicly available source, but only if the individual has consented to such collection, or would reasonably expect us to collect their personal information in this way, or if it is necessary for a specific purpose such as the investigation of a privacy complaint.

In limited circumstances we may receive personal information about third parties from individuals who contact us or whom we contact. In these circumstances we will attempt to ensure that the consent of those third parties is obtained if we think we may need to use or disclose that information.

We only collect personal information for purposes which are directly related to our functions or activities under the Privacy Act, and only when it is necessary for or directly related to such purposes. These purposes include:

Administrative activities:

  • When we process freedom of information applications
  • When we manage the personnel functions of our office

Complaint handling and investigations:

  • When an individual makes a complaint to us

Enquiries:

  • When we are contacted for a quote for printing

We also collect personal information as part of our normal communication processes directly related to those purposes, including:

  • When an individual emails staff members
  • When an individual phones us we may store their phone number on our telephone system
  • When an individual hands us their business card

Use and disclosure
We only use personal information for the purposes for which it was given to us, or for purposes which are directly related to one of our functions or activities which include (but are not limited to);

  • direct marketing
  • sales

We do not give it to other agencies, organisations or anyone else unless one of the following applies:

  • the individual has consented
  • the individual would reasonably expect, or has been told, that information of that kind is usually passed to those individuals, bodies or agencies
  • it is required or authorised by law
  • it will prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody’s life or health
  • it is reasonably necessary for the enforcement of the criminal law or of a law imposing a pecuniary penalty, or for the protection of public revenue.

Data quality
We take steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is accurate, up to date and complete. These steps include maintaining and updating personal information when we are advised by individuals that their personal information has changed, and at other times as necessary.

Data security
We take steps to protect the personal information we hold against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure and against other misuse.

When no longer required, personal information is destroyed in a secure manner or deleted.

Access and correction
If an individual requests access to the personal information we hold about them, or requests that we change that
personal information, we will allow access or make the changes unless we consider that there is a sound reason
under the Privacy Act, Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act) or other relevant law to withhold the
information.

If we do not agree to provide access to personal information the individual may seek a review of our decision or may
appeal our decision under the FOI Act.

If we do not agree to make requested changes to personal information the individual may make a statement about
the requested changes and we will attach this to the record.
