Effective from 1 July 2020
Kangaroo Island Brand Alliance Incorporated (we/us/our) take our obligations to protect personal information seriously.
This Policy will be kept up to date and published here on our website.
The kinds of personal information we collect and hold about you
We may collect and hold personal information about you. We only collect what’s reasonably necessary to assist you and run the Alliance. Mainly we collect names, contact details and other information you might choose to share with us.
The type of personal information we collect and hold may vary depending on the nature of our interactions with you.
In order to satisfy our legal obligations, we may need to retain your information after a transaction or a relationship has ended. However, we will not retain your identifiable personal information longer than is reasonably necessary and permitted under Australian law.
We will only collect sensitive information with your consent or when permissible under Australian law and will only use this information for a legitimate purpose where this is reasonably necessary.
How we collect your personal information
Wherever it is possible and practical to do so, we will collect personal information directly from you, this may be in person, over the telephone, by mail, over the internet, by e-mail or fax, or by completion of a form (such as an application form).
We may also collect your personal information from a third party. This will be limited to circumstances where it is impracticable or unreasonable for us to collect it directly from you. The type of third party who might provide information to us will vary depending on the nature of the business and interaction with you.
How we hold your personal information
We take all reasonable steps to keep the personal information we hold secure and to ensure it is protected against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or inappropriate disclosure by:
- securing all personal information;
- limiting access to personal information only to those that need access; and
- protecting our systems with appropriate technology solutions.
The purposes for collecting, holding, using and disclosing your personal information
We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information in order to better provide you with our services, whether you are individuals or businesses. You may be a customer, contractor, supplier, partner or party with whom we do or have done business, or may do business with in the future.
