Inspired Computing Pty Ltd Interact IT Unit Trust trading as Interact IT
Interact IT and is committed to protecting your privacy and personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, store, use and disclose your personal information you provide to us, and how you can contact us if you have questions or complaints about how we handle personal information. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so that you understand our information handling practices.
You can also deal with us anonymously or under an assumed name where it is lawful and practicable to do so.
This policy uses the definition of “personal Information” which is provided in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
We request that if you are under 18 years of age, you do not submit any personal information to us without the express consent and participation of your parent or guardian.
In order to provide our customers with our products and services, we may collect and use personal information about you and others. If we are not provided with all the personal information we request, we may not be able to supply our products and services. Furthermore, by providing (either directly to us or through third parties acting on our behalf) your personal information, you consent to and agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit your information, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The type of information we collect includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, profession or occupation, bank details, contact preferences, personal financial details (e.g. salary), educational and employment background, job interest data, credit card details (if you buy products or services from us) and other contact details. We also collect resumes and work history details from potential employees. We do not normally collect or store ‘sensitive information’, as defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (e.g. information about ethnic origin, religious beliefs or health). However, where we are required to and it is practicable to do so, we will seek your consent before collecting your sensitive information and inform you of the purpose at the same time.
Generally, we collect an individual’s personal information from that individual. We may collect personal information in connection to, but not limited to:
However, occasionally we may also collect personal information from someone other than the individual. For example, we may collect your information from an existing customer, when they tell us that you may be interested in our products or services, or from companies with whom you work, other organisations with whom you have dealings, information service providers or from publicly maintained records.
We will collect, store, use and disclose your personal information according to this Privacy Policy and in compliance with any required Australian legal requirements.
Access to personal information is limited to those of our personnel who specifically need it to carry out their business responsibilities. We take all reasonable steps to keep secure any personal information which we hold about you and to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration. Any personal information you provide to us electronically is stored on secure servers. Our employees are contractually bound to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us. We also maintain physical security procedures to manage and protect the use and storage of records containing personal information. To help us protect your privacy, you must maintain the secrecy of the access credentials (ie. user name and password) you use to access and use our services.
We collect personal information so we can:
Credit/debit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention. It will not be kept longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us to retain your credit card information for future purchases.
We retain personal information and other data only as required and permitted by relevant laws. We will not hold your personal information any longer than is necessary for these uses. Once we no longer need your personal information, we will either take steps to destroy or remove it at our options.
For information on how we store and destroy your Hard Disk Drives you can request a copy of our HDD policy and procedure.
We use and disclose the personal information we collect for the purposes indicated above, and for other secondary purposes. We usually disclose the personal information we collect to our related entities and to third party service providers and contractors, who help us supply our products and services. For example, we may disclose personal information to technology vendors, to help resolve technical problems, or to third party contractors to install equipment on site. We may be required, as a result of contractual or statutory obligations, to disclose personal information we collect to auditors, who conduct audits of our business and services, or to government agencies, like the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. Except where indicated above, we will not use or disclose personal information unless: the individual concerned has consented to the use and disclosure; the third party is a person involved in a dealing or proposed dealing (including a sale) of all or part of our assets and business; the third party is your creditor, banker or financier; or the disclosure is permitted, required or authorised by or under law.
When we collect information from you, you may tell us about: your preferred communication delivery method; and your choices about receiving either subscriptions or general communications; and whether you do not want it to be used for further marketing contact.
We never disclose personal information to a third party for the purpose of allowing them to direct market their products or service on an individual, unless individuals have expressly consented to that disclosure.
If at any time you want to know what personal information we hold about you, you are welcome to request access to that information by contacting us, using the details listed below. However, where: the access impacts on the privacy of others; the request for access is frivolous or vexatious; there are existing or anticipated legal proceedings; or such access can be denied under law or by a law enforcement agency, we may deny your request for access. If we deny your request for access, we will let you know why.
At all times we strive to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If at any time you believe the personal information that we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, you should let us know. We will use all reasonable efforts to correct the information.
