Personal Information: Definition and Collection

What is Personal Information?
Personal information refers to data or opinions that can identify an individual. We collect various types of personal information, including names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.

Collection Methods
We gather personal information through various channels such as correspondence, phone calls, emails, our website (www.barrenjoeyinspections.com.au), cookies, and third parties.

Note that we do not guarantee the privacy policies of third-party websites linked from our site.

Purpose of Collection
The primary purpose of collecting personal information is to provide our services, share information with clients, and conduct marketing activities. We may also use this information for secondary purposes related to the primary purpose where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. You can opt-out of our mailing lists at any time by contacting us in writing.

 

Sensitive Information

Sensitive information includes details about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, criminal record, or health information. We only use sensitive information for:

  • The primary purpose it was collected
  • A secondary purpose directly related to the primary purpose
  • With your consent or as required by law

 

Third-Party Information

Where feasible, we collect personal information directly from you. However, we may also receive information from third parties. In such cases, we will take reasonable steps to inform you about the third-party data provided to us.

 

Disclosure of Personal Information

Your personal information may be disclosed under certain circumstances:

  • With your consent
  • As required or authorized by law

 

Security and Retention of Personal Information

We store your personal information securely to protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. When no longer needed for its original purpose, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify your personal information. However, most data will be retained in client files for at least seven years.

 

Access and Correction

You have the right to access and correct your personal information held by us. To do so, please contact us in writing. We do not charge a fee for access requests but may charge an administrative fee for providing copies of your personal data. For security reasons, identification may be required before releasing any information.
