PRIVACY POLICY

Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of Personal Information we collect include: names, addresses, email addresses, payment information and phone numbers.
We collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our services to you, to inform you of other products you may be interested in and to maintain and develop our business systems and infrastructure. We may also use your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. When we collect Personal Information we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.
By downloading content and entering your details on the website you agree to receive marketing and promotional materials such as emails and sms relevant to your enquiry. You may review and modify your contact information at any time, including unsubscribing from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by contacting us in writing.

The law, including the Privacy Act 1988, protects your personal information.

Your personal information will not be disclosed to any other person, body or agency unless:

•              you give us permission

•              it is authorised or required by law

•              it meets one of the other exceptions in the Australian Privacy Principles

Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your Personal Information only from you. However, in some circumstances we may be provided with information by third parties. In such a case we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party.

Your Personal Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

We store information in different ways, including:

•              our document and records management systems

•              cloud storage

•              browser storage

•              cookies

We use cookies (small files stored on your device) created both by us and third parties. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your browser settings. However, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website

We do not keep information that we no longer need for the purpose it was collected, unless the law requires us to do so. It is either destroyed or de-identified as required under the Archives Act 1983.

However, most of the Personal Information is or will be stored in client files which will be kept by us for a minimum of 7 years.

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. You can ask us to update it if it is incorrect. Please contact us to make an enquiry.
AHCA will not charge any fee for your access request, but may charge an administrative fee for providing a copy of your Personal Information.
