Personal Information

This Privacy Policy concerns any personal information or sensitive information of yours which is provided to us.

In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” and “sensitive information” have the meanings set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) as amended (including the Australian Privacy Principles) (the Act). Essentially, personal information is any information about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is true or not and whether the information is recorded in a material form or not.

Sensitive information is any personal information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual orientation or practices, criminal record, health, genetics, biometrics or biometric templates. We will collect, use or disclose sensitive information about you only as allowed by law, for example where we have received your consent to do so or the collection is required by law.

Any subsequent references in this Privacy Policy to “personal information” are references to “personal information” and “sensitive information”.

Where you provide us with personal information relating to other people, it is your responsibility to inform these people of this Privacy Policy, that you are proposing to disclose their personal information to us and to ensure that, prior to such disclosure, they agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and consent to the disclosure. If they do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and provide their consent, you must not provide their personal information to us.

By providing us with other people’s personal information you warrant that you have complied with this Privacy Policy and all applicable laws regarding such disclosure (including the Act) and you indemnify us and our Related Parties against any and all loss arising directly or indirectly from you disclosing such information.

Passive information collection

As you navigate through our websites and access and use any of our applications, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) through various technologies, such as cookies, internet tags or web beacons and navigational data collection.

Our websites and applications may use and combine such passively collected anonymous information to provide better services to website visitors and mobile application users, customise the website and mobile application based on your preferences, compile and analyse statistics and trends and otherwise administer and improve the website and applications for your use. Where we combine your personal information with non-personal information, the combined data will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Act and other applicable privacy laws.

We collect personal information that is necessary for our business activities and in order to provide and develop our services. We may do this in a number of ways, including:

We also may collect your personal information when legally required to do so.

Your personal information may be used so that we, our Related Parties and our carefully selected business partners can provide you with information about our products and services, such as by way of direct mail or telemarketing, and, where you have opted in, by email, Push Notifications, SMS and MMS, or to request your feedback for promotional purposes. You always have the right to opt-out of receiving such information. You may exercise that right by selecting the relevant option in the communication or in the relevant application’s settings or by contacting us as set out below.

We may also use your personal information for purposes related to those described above which would reasonably be expected by you.

We will not use your information for purposes other than those described above unless we have your consent or as permitted by law (including for law enforcement or public health and safety reasons).

Sharing your personal information

We may disclose your personal information in certain circumstances, such as where we are required or authorised by law or where you have consented to us doing so.

We also may disclose your personal information to:

  • others in accordance with a request made by you;
  • our Related Parties and business partners;
  • your health care, education or social service professionals and other third parties, but only to the extent that you have consented to us doing so; and
  • persons engaged in providing us with professional, business, technology and corporate services, when reasonably required.

We may also de-identify and anonymise your personal information, including health information, for the purpose of aggregating it with the de-identified and anonymised information of our other customers in order to provide such information to third parties so that those third parties can use that data for their own internal or commercial purposes.

When making such a disclosure we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient is bound by privacy obligations at least as onerous as ours.

Unless you consent, we otherwise will not disclose your personal information to third parties other than as set out above.

Does my personal information leave my country of residence?

In the course of our ordinary business operations we may disclose personal information to third party suppliers who are located overseas, including those located in Australia, US, Philippines and Serbia. This is because some of our technology and operational service providers may be located outside of your country of residence. This means that when we use these provider’s services, it may involve disclosing your personal information overseas. We only disclose personal information to our overseas service providers when it is necessary for the services they provide to us.

Access and correction

You may request access to any of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us as specified below. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for the costs of retrieval and supply of any requested information.

We will take steps to ensure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up to date. To ensure your personal information is accurate, please notify us of any errors or changes to your personal information and we will take appropriate steps to update or correct such information in our possession.
