Last updated: Wednesday 27th May 2020

The Australia-Latin America Business Council operates on www.alabc.com.au. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information we receive from users of the site.

We use your Personal Information only for providing and improving the site. By using the site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

 

Information Collection and Use

While using our site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to your:

• Email address

• First and last name

• Billing and shipping address

 

Sensitive Information

‘Sensitive information’ is defined in the Privacy Act to mean information or an opinion about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual preferences or practices or criminal record.

‘Sensitive information’ is subject to a higher level of privacy protection than other ‘personal information’ handled by organisations in the following ways:

•  ‘sensitive information’ may only be collected with consent, except in specified circumstances. Consent is generally not required to collect ‘personal information’ that is not ‘sensitive information’;[100]

•  ‘sensitive information’ must not be used or disclosed for a secondary purpose unless the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose of collection and within the reasonable expectations of the individual;[101]

•  ‘sensitive information’ cannot be used for the secondary purpose of direct marketing;[102] and

• ‘sensitive information’ cannot be shared by ‘related bodies corporate’ in the same way that they may share other ‘personal information’.

 

Third Party Links

At times, our site may contain links to other, third-party websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but, instead, is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites.
