1. Collection: When you access this site, AICIP collects information relating to your visit including personal information as defined by the Privacy Act in Australia. When you submit any Visitor Data to us, your submission is an acknowledgment of your agreement with the terms of our policy on privacy as set out in these Terms.
Purpose of collection: Any Visitor Data of a personal or sensitive nature that is collected from this site by AICIP will only be used as necessary for the business to be transacted between us and for the purposes of providing our Members with better services.
2. Disclosure & use: We will not sell or transfer your information to a third party for marketing purposes without your consent. Sometimes we need to share information with recognised authorities, regulatory bodies, governments and organisations such as banks to investigate possible fraud or other unlawful activities.
We will not disclose your personal information to anyone else for any other purpose unless we are required by law to disclose it or you tell us we can or should. Other information collected on site might be used by us to enable us to be proactive in assisting you in matters that either you or we have identified as relevant. We may also use the information to contact you and alert you to regulatory or compliance matters that might affect you. Emailed responses and additional or new information regarding the services of AICIP may be accessed on this site based on information we have collected from our Visitors. Much of the information can be collected automatically when a Visitor uses this site.
3. Access: AICIP’s access to the Visitor Data is limited to authorised persons – employees and in some cases contractors and consultants who are all bound by contractual obligations to maintain the confidentiality (where applicable) and privacy of personal information in that data. Where there is a password or keyword provided to you to access this site or any secure part of it, then it is important to keep that password or keyword secret like an ATM PIN.
Subject to the rights of other visitors and persons whose information may be collected and aggregated with yours, you may request access to your personal information that we hold at any time and you may at any time request that AICIP to delete your personal Visitor Data held by us. We will take all reasonable steps to action that request promptly. However, there may be technical or other constraints to comprehensively identifying all such information and completely destroying all details of your visit and the information contained in your Visitor Data, as well as legal and statutory duties and responsibilities imposed on us that might also prevent us from destroying or removing from our records all such information. Nevertheless, your request will be treated, to the best of our ability given those constraints, as a signal that the information cannot be disclosed or used by us without your consent.
Given our commitment to your privacy, we can request verification from you and evidence to support such a request to ensure that the person who so requests that information is the person entitled at law to receive it.
