We have security systems in place which are intended to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure by the use of various methods including locked storage of paper records and passworded access rights to computerised records.

If we receive personal information about you which we did not request and which we do not reasonably require, we may destroy or de-identify this information where appropriate.

If you reasonably believe that there has been an unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, please let us know by contacting us using the details at the end of this policy.

Updating personal information that we hold about you

We aim to have all personal information that we hold to be accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, we encourage you to tell us if you change your contact details.

We are required by law to keep some types of information for certain periods of time. If we no longer require your personal information, we will generally destroy or de-identify that information. We may retain information for a period longer than that for which it is required to be retained if we consider that it is necessary and as long as it is in accordance with the APPs.

How you can access personal information that we hold about you?

Under the Act, an individual generally has the right to obtain access to any personal information that we hold about them and to advise us of any perceived inaccuracy in that information. There are some exceptions to this right.

In some circumstances, the Act entitles us to deny access, for example if providing access would impact unreasonably on the privacy of others. If we do refuse access, we will generally let you know the reasons for our refusal, except where it is unreasonable to do so.

If you make a request for access to your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity and specify what information you require. We may charge a fee to cover our costs of locating, retrieving, reviewing and copying any material requested. If the information sought is extensive, we will generally advise the likely cost in advance.
