Privacy Statement – Information Integrity Solutions Pty Ltd (IIS)

IIS is committed to protecting your personal information, which we consider to be any information from which your identity is apparent or could be established.

This Statement outlines the main principles of the Company's information handling practices, including in relation to our website www.IISpartners.com.

IIS is committed to meeting or exceeding the requirements of legislation that protects personal information including federal law such as the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), and the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) (the Spam Act) and the Do Not Call Register Act 2006.

IIS has been covered by the Privacy Act since 9 March 2006 when it chose (as an otherwise exempt small business) to be treated as an organisation for the purposes of the Privacy Act. This means that you have a right to complain to the Australian Privacy Commissioner if you cannot resolve with IIS a concern you have about the way it has handled personal information about you. For more information about our obligations under the Privacy Act see www.privacy.gov.au.

Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

We collect personal information to provide services to our clients and to help us to carry out our business. We only use your personal information for purposes related to the services we supply to you (or you supply to us) or in the course of our normal business. In the course of our business we may use personal Information to enable us to offer you assistance in matters that either you or we have identified as relevant to your organisation. We may also use the information to contact you and alert you to matters that may affect your business, unless you have asked us not to do this. Where this might be in the form of direct marketing, we give you the additional commitments spelt out under the Direct Marketing heading below.

We will not use or disclose your personal information for any purpose which you would not reasonably expect unless consistent with the Privacy Act. For example, we will not sell personal information to other organisations. We may give your details to a third party for related purposes that we think you would expect, for example to include you in relevant discussions or workshops. We may also give your personal information to a third party if it is specifically authorised or required by law or there is a threat to someone's safety.

Where you give IIS personal information about a business partner, business advisor or other individual, we ask you to tell the individual that you gave information about them to IIS, the reason for its collection and how IIS will use it. We do not usually collect personal information that is defined as 'sensitive' under the Privacy Act. Information IIS collects is only available to authorised persons; that is employees and in some cases contractors and consultants who are all bound by contractual obligations to IIS to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of that information.

Our website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that IIS is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and organisations. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Users who visit our website and limit their visit to browsing remain unidentified.

IIS collects some information automatically when a visitor hits this site; this is not identifiable personal information. This site has a feedback option for you to send us information about the site, or our products and services or concerns about the privacy of information. You can also contact us directly.

Type of information collected

The sort of personal information we collect or hold might include the following:

Direct marketing

Where you would expect us to do so, we may in the ordinary course of our business send you information about related products services or events. With your permission, we may also use personal information we have collected to send you information about our other products and services.

In accordance with the Privacy Act and the Spam Act, we will seek your consent before sending you direct marketing material or, if this is not practicable, we will give you the opportunity to refuse future material from us.

Your Right of Access to Personal Information We Hold About You

In most cases, IIS will give you access to any personal information it holds about you. You must ask for access in writing, either by email or hard copy. Please tell us whether you want access to all or just a particular part of your personal information. We will respond you within a reasonable time, which generally would be within 7 working days.

In line with our commitment to protect your privacy, we may ask you to verify your request, or to provide evidence of your identity. This ensures that we only give information about you to a person who is entitled to receive it. In handling your request, we must also take into account the privacy rights of others whose information may be collected and aggregated with yours.

You may ask us to delete all information we hold about you and your organisation and we will take all reasonable steps to do so promptly. However, there may be technical, legal or other reasons why we cannot destroy all details of your interactions with IIS.

Accuracy and Security of Personal Information Collected

If you think that personal information we hold about you is inaccurate please contact us at Inquiries@IISpartners.com and we will correct any identified inaccuracies or let you know why we cannot do so.

We will do everything reasonable to keep the information you have given us safe and confidential. Please be aware that the Internet is not necessarily a secure environment. If you send us any personal information, including your email address, you send it at your own risk.

Changes to Privacy Policy

IIS may make changes to this policy from time to time. To the extent possible we will handle your personal information in accordance with the policy under which we collected it. We will take reasonable steps to let you know of any changes, for example, when we next contact you.
