“Personal information” means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can be reasonably ascertained, from the information or opinion. We require all of our employees, contractors, suppliers, business partners and service providers to comply with privacy laws and continually look for ways to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.

Collecting Information
Collecting personal information here at Australia Deals International is essential in conducting our business, and we only keep it for as long as we may require it for a legitimate business purpose.
We will collect personal information directly from the individual concerned whenever practical. However, if we do collect an individual’s personal information from a third party, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual has been advised of the matters listed above as they apply to both the third party and our own handling of the information.
Disclosing Information
We will only disclose personal information:
For the purposes for which we have advised that we are collecting it, and for related purposes that could reasonably be expected in the circumstances, with the individual’s consent, as part of the asset sale of a business or division, as specified by law.
In the course of our business activities, we may need to disclose personal information to our agents, service providers, business partners, government authorities and others, but will always do so in accordance with the above principles. Except where data is transferred as part of the sale of a business or a business division, we will not sell personal information under any circumstances or share it with anyone for marketing purposes unless we have advised of this on collection or otherwise obtained the individual’s consent.
Unauthorized Disclosure or Use
Unauthorized disclosure or use of personal information by our employees, contractors or agents is a serious breach of this policy. Merely accessing information without proper authority is a form of unauthorized use and will not be tolerated. In the event of a breach, we will take appropriate action, which may include disciplinary or legal action.
Access to Personal Information
Individuals will be able to access their personal information upon request. However, we may occasionally need to deny access to information where the law expressly allows it (for example, when someone is under investigation for fraud). We will not provide access to spouses, family members or other third parties unless we are required or permitted by law to do so or have the clear, written authority of the individual concerned.
Security
The protection of personal information at Australia Deals International is a top priority. All reasonable steps are taken to ensure that all personal information is secure. Personal information will be managed confidentially and securely, and will be destroyed when no longer required. We secure personal information in the same way as we safeguard our own sensitive information. We also strive to constantly improve our business processes and the technology we use to protect data.
Data Quality
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data we hold is accurate, complete and up to date, and has been obtained directly from the individual or a reputable third party.
Changes to our Policy
This policy will be reviewed from time to time and any amendments will be incorporated in the updated policy and in privacy statements. We will take steps to let individuals know of the changes that affect them.
