It is not practicable to list all countries we may disclose this information to, however, if you would like further information on this, please contact us.

‍

STORAGE, DATA SECURITY & RETENTION

‍

Collected personal information is held securely in our electronic and paper recordkeeping systems.

  • web transactions are conducted in accordance with PCI DSS standards;

  • our web services are vulnerability tested against intrusion;

  • aftercare measures are taken to support the removal of access to personal information when no longer required. 

‍
We take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information when it is no longer required for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed. However, it is not always practicable to destroy or de-identify electronic data. Where it is not reasonable to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information in electronic form, we will take reasonable steps to prevent inadvertent access to it.

REMAINING ANONYMOUS OR USING A PSEUDONYM

‍

You have the right to contact us anonymously or using a pseudonym unless there is a legal requirement that prevents this.

ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

‍

How you may access and correct personal information we hold about you

You may request access to personal information we hold about you. We will provide you with access as requested, if it is reasonable and practicable to do so. There may be a moderate charge for us to provide access and there may be instances where we refuse your request such as:

  • providing access would pose a serious and imminent threat to the life or health of any individual;

  • providing access would have unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals; 

  • the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;

  • the information sought relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between you and us and that information would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings;

  • providing access would be unlawful;

  • denying access is required or authorised by or under law; or

  • providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity.

If we deny your request for access, we will, where permitted by law, provide you with reasons for that denial. 

You may request corrections to any of your personal information that we hold to ensure the information is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading.

Verifying Identity

We must be satisfied that you are seeking access to or correction of your own personal information. We may ask you to provide verification of your identity. This process is free of charge.
