Acts and practices of employers that are directly related to both employee records and an employment relationship are exempted from the Privacy Act and are not covered by this Policy.Collection of personal information
Personal information is information or an opinion that can identify an individual or from which the identity of the individual can be reasonably ascertained. An individual’s name, address and telephone number are examples of personal information.
When Lindsay Bennelong provides you with project information we need to collect certain information from you. We collect personal information provided by you or your authorised intermediaries which is reasonably necessary to:
- provide you with quality products and services;
- all things necessary to administer, manage, develop and protect those products and services;
- consider applications and approaches which you make to us; and
- maintain your contact details.
Indirect collection of information
We generally try to collect personal information directly from you or through your authorised intermediaries.
Use and disclosure of personal information
Personal information which is collected by Lindsay Bennelong is generally only used and disclosed for:
- the main purpose for which the information was collected; or
- related purposes, which would be within your reasonable expectations.
We may otherwise use or disclose your personal information where the use or disclosure is required or authorised by law (for example, disclosure to government regulatory and law enforcement agencies) or in emergency situations.
If Lindsay Bennelong wishes to use or disclose your personal information in other circumstances, we will obtain your consent to do so.
Members of the Lindsay Bennelong may share an individual’s personal information with their related entities. In this case, the information may only be used or disclosed by the related entity for the main purpose for which it was collected, for purposes related to the main purpose, where required or authorised by law, or for other purposes if the individual has consented.
Lindsay Bennelong does not sell personal information to companies outside Lindsay Bennelong.
We may disclose your personal information to our contractors and service providers that assist us in the operation of our business or the provision of services (for example, our internet service provider or mailing house). Lindsay Bennelong then requires these organisations to agree to comply with this Privacy Policy.
