Privacy Policy

Australian Anti Ice Campaign Pty Ltd (AAIC) operates to provide an awareness and education campaign about the dangers associated with the insidious and highly addictive drug known as ice.

General

AAIC is committed to protecting your personal information.

AAIC is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth) (“Privacy Act”), including the National Privacy Principles (“NPP’s”). Additionally, AAIC may be bound by obligations of confidentiality to the authors/providers in respect of information received in connection with services it offers.

However, acts done or practices engaged in by AAIC, which are directly related to:

  • a current or former employment relationship between AAIC and you; and
  • an employee record held by AAIC and relating to you,

are exempt from the Privacy Act, including the NPP’s.

This policy sets out how AAIC manages your personal information.

AAIC encourages you to check its web site regularly for any updates to this privacy policy.

Collection

AAIC may collect and hold information about a range of persons it comes into contact with, including:

  • users of the services offered by AAIC;
  • job applicants;
  • suppliers and their employees;
  • contractors; and
  • individuals who visit the AAIC web site.

AAIC only collects and holds personal information that is necessary for it to provide the services which it offers.

The personal information AAIC collects and holds about you depends on your interaction with AAIC. It may include:

  • your contact details, including your name, organisation, occupation, job title, address, phone number, facsimile number and email address;
  • details of your qualifications, membership of professional associations, interests and expertise;
  • referral information;
  • information you give AAIC in the course of your relationship with AAIC as a client, prospective client, prospective employee or supplier;
  • information AAIC obtains from you or other persons in the course of providing legal services for you or your employer;
  • where necessary, financial information; and
  • where necessary, health information.

Generally, AAIC will collect and hold your personal information for the purpose of:

  • providing services to you or others;
  • providing you with information about other services that AAIC offers that may be of interest to you;
  • providing you with information relevant to you;
  • facilitating AAIC’s internal business operations, including the fulfilment of any legal requirements;
  • analysing AAIC services and the needs of the general public with a view to developing new and/or improved services;
  • contacting you, in the case of an emergency involving someone else you know; and contacting you to provide a testimonial for AAIC.

Personal information will generally be collected by AAIC directly from you. There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impractical to collect personal information directly from you. We will usually notify you about these instances in advance, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.

If the personal information you provide to AAIC is incomplete and/or inaccurate, AAIC may be unable to provide you, or someone else you know, with the services you, or they, are seeking.

Web site

When you access AAIC’s web site, AAIC may collect additional personal information about you in the form of:

  • the date and time of your visit;
  • the pages you visited and documents downloaded;
  • your internet service provider;
  • if you accessed the web site via a link from another site (such as a search engine), the address of the web site you came from; and
  • your IP address (that is, the single numerical address for your computer on the internet, which consists of four consecutive numbers ranging between 0 and 255) and/or domain name (that is, the textual address for your location on the internet which corresponds to your IP address, which the internet computers can read).

Also, AAIC’s web site may at times use cookies. A cookie is a message given by a web server (that is, a computer that delivers or serves up pages on the world wide web such as www.thymac.com.au) to a web browser (that is, software, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, used to locate and display pages on the world wide web). The web browser stores the message in a text file. The message is then sent back to the web server each time the web browser requests a page from the web server.

Cookies do not identify you personally, but they may link back to a database record about you.

AAIC may use cookies to monitor usage of AAIC’s web site and to create a record of visits to AAIC’s web site and what pages are viewed so that AAIC may operate its business more effectively. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may be able to adjust the settings of your web browser to refuse them.

Use and disclosure

Generally, AAIC only uses and/or discloses personal information about you for the purposes for which it was collected (as set out above). However, AAIC may disclose personal information about you to:

  • where you ask us for a referral, other providers of other services;
  • service providers, who assist AAIC in operating its business, but only to the extent necessary for the service provider to provide the services AAIC has contracted out to them;
    your authorised representatives;
  • a purchaser of the assets and operations of AAIC’s business, providing those assets and operations are purchased as a going concern; and
  • AAIC’s related entities (if any).

Security

AAIC stores your personal information in different ways, including in paper and in electronic form. The security of your personal information is important to AAIC. AAIC takes all reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is stored safely to protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including electronic and physical security measures.

Access
You may access personal information AAIC holds about you, upon making a written request. AAIC will endeavour to acknowledge your request within 14 days of its receipt and to provide you with access to the information requested within 30 days. Requests for large amounts of information, or information not currently in use, may require further time before a response can be given. AAIC may charge you a reasonable fee for processing your request.

AAIC may decline a request for access to personal information where, among other things:

  • providing access would pose a serious threat to the life or health of an individual;
  • providing access would have an unreasonable impact upon the privacy of other individuals;
  • the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
  • the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between AAIC and you, and the information would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings;
  • providing access would reveal information about a commercially sensitive decision making process;
  • providing access would be unlawful;
  • denying access is required or authorised by or under law;
  • providing access would prejudice negotiations between AAIC and you;
  • providing access would be likely to prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity; or
  • providing access would be likely to prejudice the activities of enforcement bodies.

If, upon receiving access to your personal information or at any other time, you believe the personal information AAIC holds about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please notify AAIC immediately. AAIC will take reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date. If AAIC disagrees with you about whether your personal information is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, and you ask AAIC to associate with your personal information a statement claiming that your personal information is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, AAIC will take reasonable steps to do so.

AAIC will provide reasons for any decision to refuse access to, or correction of, personal information.
