Privacy Policy
Publishers Australia (PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA) understands and appreciates that members may be concerned about their privacy and about the confidentiality and security of information PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA may gain about them. PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA is committed to protecting members' privacy and to complying with the National Privacy Principles. This policy sets out PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA's information handling practices and procedures.
Information collected
Generally speaking, PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA collects information about members (including personal information about individual delegates of members) from database update forms and registration forms so the type of information which PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA collects about members and delegates will depend on how members use the services offered by PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA.
Use and disclosure of information
Personal information which a member supplies is collected by PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA for use in connection with conducting its business. Such uses include matters related to the processing of membership application forms, the provision of membership and training products or services, and membership administration. Information provided in surveys that are conducted from time to time is generally used for statistical purposes. PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA will not disclose personal information concerning a member or a delegate to parties outside of PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA, other than for a purpose made known to a member and to which a member has consented. Please note that the information provided by members may be disclosed to PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA's agents, contractors or third party service providers who provide administrative, telecommunications, computer or other services to PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA in connection with the operation of its business and who are under duties to PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA to keep such information confidential and secure.
Security
PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA maintains strict standards and security procedures to prevent unauthorised access to members' and delegates' personal information and to ensure the correct use of information.
Member access to information
PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA will always try to maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date information regarding members and delegates. There are procedures in place which facilitate amendments and verification of personal information. If a person thinks that their personal information which is retained by PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA may require changing or updating, they should contact PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA. PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA will then take all reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
Complaints
If a person has a complaint regarding the way in which their personal information is being handled by PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA, they should contact PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA in the first instance. If the parties are unable to reach a satisfactory solution through negotiation, the person may wish to request an independent person to investigate the complaint such as the Privacy Commissioner.
