8. Security of personal information

8.1 The security of your personal information is important to us. We will take appropriate technical and organisational precautions to secure your personal information and to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or alteration of your personal information.

8.2 We will store all your personal information on secure servers, personal computers and mobile devices, and in secure manual record-keeping systems.

8.3 Much of the information we hold about you will be stored electronically. We store some of your information in secure data centres that are located in Australia. We also store information in data centres of our contracted service providers (including cloud storage providers), and some of these data centres may be located outside of Australia.

8.4 Some information we hold about you will be stored in paper files.

8.5 We use a range of physical, electronic and other security measures to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the personal information we hold both in Australia and overseas. For example:

(a) access to our information systems is controlled through identity and access management controls;

(b) employees and our contracted service providers are bound by internal information security policies and are required to keep information secure;

(d) we regularly monitor and review our compliance with internal policies and industry best practice.

9.1 Where it is lawful and practical to do so, you may wish to deal with us without providing any personal information, such as by providing a pseudonym or dealing with us anonymously, when you make general enquiries. However, in order to provide our goods and services to you, we will need to identify you.

10. Overseas Recipients

10.1 Prior to disclosing your personal information to an overseas recipient, unless a permitted general situation applies, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that:

(a) the overseas recipient does not breach the Privacy Laws; or

(b) the overseas recipient is subject to a law, or binding scheme, that has the effect of protecting the information in a way that, overall, is at least substantially similar to the way the Privacy Laws; or

10.2 Acceptance of any of our services via an application in writing,orally or electronic means will be deemed as giving consent to the disclosures detailed herein.

11. Notifiable Data Breaches

11.1 From February

11.2 The NDB scheme requires us to notify about a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to affected individuals. There are exceptions where notification is not required. For example, where we have already taken appropriate remedial action that removes the risk of serious harm to any individuals.

11.3 If we believe there has been a data breach that impacts your personal information and creates a likely risk of serious harm, we will notify you and the OAIC as soon as practicable and keep in close contact with you about the nature of the breach, the steps we are taking and what you can do to reduce the impacts to your privacy.

11.4 If you believe that any personal information, we hold about you has been impacted by a data breach, you can contact us using the contact details below.

12. Your rights

12.1 In this Section 12, we have summarised the rights that you have under the Privacy Laws. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.

12.2 The summary of your principal rights under Privacy Laws are:

(a) to request, at any time, for us to inform you of the personal information we hold about you;

(b) the right to access;

(d) the right to erasure (where we have no legitimate right or business requirements to retain your personal information);

(e) the right to restrict or object to processing (where we have no legitimate right or business requirements to retain your personal information);

(f) the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and

(g) the right to withdraw your consent (where we have no legitimate right or business requirements to retain your personal information).

12.3 You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal information and, where we do, access to the personal information, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal information concerned and the recipients of the personal information. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal information. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee.

12.4 You have the right to have any inaccurate personal information about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal information about you completed. If we refuse your request to correct your personal information, you also have the right to request that a statement be associated with your personal information noting that you disagree with its accuracy.

12.5 In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal information without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal information that is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable Privacy Laws; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal information has been unlawfully processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

12.6 In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal information. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal information; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal information for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal information for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal information. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

12.7 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

12.8 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal information for this purpose.

12.9 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is:

(a) consent; or

(b) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract,

and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal information from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

12.10 If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes Privacy Laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

12.11 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

12.12 We usually will respond to you within 30 days of receiving your request.

12.13 We may refuse to give you access to the personal information we hold about you if we reasonably believe that giving access would pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of an individual, or to public health or safety, where giving access would be unlawful, where giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals, or if we consider the request to be frivolous or vexatious.

12.14 If we refuse to give you access to or to correct your personal information, we will give you a notice explaining our reasons except where it would be unreasonable to do so.

12.15 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal information by contacting us. If you have a question or complaint about how your personal information is being handled by us, our affiliates or contracted service providers, please contact us first on the following email: admin@corporateoverhaul.com.

12.16 Under the Privacy Laws you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) about the way we handle your personal information. Please note the OAIC requires any complaint must first be made to the respondent organisation. The law also allows 30 days for the respondent organisation to deal with the complaint before a person may make a complaint to the OAIC.
