  • Another company within our group of companies

  • Any other individuals or companies authorised by you; and

Overseas Disclosure of Personal Information

Our parent company is located in New Zealand.  This means your personal information may be held and processed outside of Australia.

Additionally, a business that supports our services and products may be located outside Australia. This may mean your personal information is held and processed outside Australia. The overseas recipients of your personal information are likely to be located in New Zealand, and in the countries where our technology and service providers host or support our systems, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Singapore, and countries within the European Union. 

Before we disclose your personal information to an overseas recipient, we take steps that are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that the recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to that information, unless an exception under Australian Privacy Principle 8 applies. 

Retaining your personal information

We keep your personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes set out in this policy, and for as long as we are required or permitted to keep it under the Act or any other law. 

Some information is kept for longer periods to meet our legal, regulatory, tax, and record keeping obligations, or where it is needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Where we no longer need your personal information and we are not required to retain it, we take reasonable steps to destroy it or ensure it is de-identified. 

Accessing and correcting your personal information

You have the right to ask for access to the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it.  These rights are set out in Australian Privacy Principles 12 and 13, which also set out the limited grounds on which we may refuse a request. 

We will respond to your request within a reasonable period, which in most cases will be within 30 calendar days of receiving it. 

We will take reasonable steps to correct your personal information where we are satisfied it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading, or where you ask us to correct it. If we have previously disclosed that information to another entity, you may ask us to notify them of the correction, and we will take reasonable steps to do so unless it is impracticable or unlawful. 

If we refuse to give you access, or refuse to correct your personal information, we will give you a written notice setting out the reasons for the refusal, except where it would be unreasonable to do so, and the complaint mechanisms available to you. If we refuse to correct your personal information, you may ask us to associate a statement with that information noting that you believe it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading, and we will take reasonable steps to do so. 

We do not charge you for making a request for access or correction, for correcting your personal information, or for associating a statement with your personal information. We may charge you a reasonable amount for giving you access, and that charge will not be excessive. We will tell you about any charge before we proceed so that you can decide whether to continue. 

To make a request, email us at [email protected] with enough detail for us to identify you and to understand what you are asking for. 

Updating your Personal Information

It is important that the personal information we hold about you or any other person is accurate, up to date, and complete. Please let us know us as soon as you can if there have been any changes to the information you have provided us with, or if you believe that the information we hold about you may be inaccurate or incomplete. During the course of our relationship with you we may also ask you to inform us if any of your personal information has changed.
