We will only use and share personal information where necessary to carry out the functions for which we collected it, or if required by law.
You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, please contact us via the details below.
Data Storage and Controls
We store all our data (including your personal information) using Microsoft 365 solutions and use Microsoft and approved 3rd party applications to interact with that data. Other third-party services we use for specific purposes relating to personal information are set out later in this document.
We protect our data with all reasonable technical and process controls, and we keep your information safe by only storing and transmitting data in an encrypted form and only allowing approved staff to access it.
Besides our staff, we may share this information with carefully selected third parties in order to provide you access to services and tools provided by those third parties as part of the service we provide to you.
Data Breach
In the event of a breach of our systems resulting in potential or actual unauthorised access to or disclosure of your personal information, we will respond as quickly as possible to perform the following steps:
- Contain the breach and assess the situation.
- Evaluate the risks, including the nature of the personal information and the nature of the breach.
- Notify you as soon as reasonably possible if we believe personal information has been compromised.
- Where we are providing services to you on behalf of an organisation (typically your employer, our client), unless otherwise agreed we will normally coordinate notifications to you with them.
- Where necessary or required by law we will notify relevant third parties such the Privacy Commissioner or law enforcement authorities.
- Take appropriate action to prevent further breaches.
Where our assessment of the breach requires the involvement of law enforcement authorities (e.g. in the event of suspected theft or other criminal activity in connection with the breach) we will cooperate with their lawful instructions to ensure their investigation is not compromised.
