Whenever reasonable and practical to do so, we will collect personal information about you directly from you. In some cases, we may be required to collect personal information about you from third parties. For example, we may collect personal information from companies with whom you work, other organisations with whom you have dealings, credit reporting bodies, information service providers or from public sources. Where we collect information about you from a third party, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the fact and circumstances of that collection.

From time to time, we may also use your personal information to send important notices to you, such as communications about purchases you have made, or changes to our terms and conditions or other policies. This information is important to your interactions with us and you acknowledge that you may not opt out of receiving these communications.

We may also be required to disclose your personal information to a third party who is involved in a dealing or proposed dealing (including a sale) of all or part of our assets or business.

PAM Wayfinding does not sell personal information to other organisations.

Secondary Purpose(s)

PAM Wayfinding will not use or disclose your personal information for a purpose (secondary purpose) other than the main reason for which it was originally collected (primary purpose), unless:

you have consented to the use or disclosure of your personal information for the secondary purpose;
the use or disclosure is required or authorised by or under law; or
the use or disclosure is otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act (for example, as a necessary part of an investigation of suspected unlawful activity).

Marketing purposes

Where we use your personal information to send you marketing and promotional information, you will be provided with an opportunity to opt-out of receiving such information. Unless you exercise your right to opt-out of such communication, you will be taken to have consented to the receipt of similar information and communications in the future.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the privacy and security of your information, including entering into arrangements with third party service providers which require them to maintain the security of your information. However, you acknowledge PAM Wayfinding cannot control the security of data collected and stored on third party platforms and that there are inherent risks in transmitting information electronically and over the internet. PAM Wayfinding takes reasonable steps to ensure the security of data stored on our servers.

In what situations may I deal with PAM Wayfinding anonymously or by pseudonym?

You have the option to deal anonymously or by pseudonym if you contact us and you merely seek general information about our products and services. However, if you require information which is specific to your circumstances then it may not be possible for you to deal with us anonymously or by pseudonym.

Where is my personal information stored?

We take all reasonable steps to keep the personal information we hold about you secure and free from loss, misuse or interference. Personal information we collect and store is stored on secure servers, and is only accessible by those persons who need access to the information in order to carry out their business functions. We also maintain physical security measures to protect the use and storage of physical records containing personal information.

We only retain personal information for as long as it is needed by us, or for as long as we are legally required to retain the information (if that is longer). When we dispose of personal information, we ensure that it is disposed of or destroyed in a secure fashion in accordance with our obligations under the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act.

Some of the parties with which we exchange personal information are located outside Australia in countries including the United States, Canada and New Zealand.

Although these third parties are subject to privacy and confidentiality obligations imposed by contract or the regulatory frameworks of the jurisdiction in which they are located, you acknowledge that:

they may not always comply with those obligations, or those obligations may differ from the obligations imposed by the Privacy Act, the Spam Act and the Do Not Call Register Act;
we will not be accountable for a breach by those third parties of any of these obligations;
in the event of breach, you may not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act; and
the third party may be subject to foreign laws which might compel further disclosures of personal information (e.g. to government authorities).

Access to your personal information

You may request that we provide you with access to the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy. However, the Privacy Act sets out certain circumstances where we may deny, or only partially comply with such a request, for example where:

access would pose a serious threat to the life, safety or health of any individual or to public health or public safety;
access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;
the request is frivolous or vexatious;
denying access is required or authorised by a law or a court or tribunal order;
access would be unlawful; or
access may prejudice commercial negotiations, legal proceedings, enforcement activities or appropriate action being taken in respect of a suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct.

If you require access to any information we hold about you, we request that you identify, as clearly as possible, the types of information requested. We will respond to your request to provide access to your personal information within 30 days and you agree we may charge you our reasonable costs incurred in supplying you with access to this information.

Updating your personal information

We take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that:

the personal information we collect and store, is accurate, up to date and complete; and
the personal information we use and disclose is accurate, up to date, complete and relevant.

If you believe that information we hold about you may not be complete, accurate and up to date, you may ask us to update or delete the personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us using the contact details below.

You accept that we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making any corrections to or deletion of your information.
