Privacy Policy

Privacy is important, and we are committed to ensuring any interaction with us protects your personal information. We are bound by the Privacy Act 1993 (as amended from time to time), associated privacy codes and the privacy provisions of other applicable legislation.

This policy describes the way we collect, hold, use and store your personal information.

 

What information do we collect, and why?

We may collect, store and use personal data to allow us to respond to your questions, comments or complaints. We may also use your personal information for the purposes of our internal administrative research, planning, marketing, campaigns and project development.

 

How do we collect and hold information?

We collect personal information you provide us through our website or by email.

We hold personal information in our electronic records or in those of our third party cloud computing or other services.

 

How do we make sure your personal information is protected?

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorised access to systems where we store personal information.
Personal information is held only for as long as this remains relevant to the purpose for which it was collected.

 

Personal information provided to third parties

BCG2 will not sell, rent or share your personal data with third party organisations.

 

Unsolicited personal information

We don’t usually collect unsolicited personal information.

Where we receive unsolicited personal information, we’ll determine whether or not it would have been permissible to collect that personal information if it had been solicited. If we determine that collection would not have been permissible, to the extent permitted by law, we’ll destroy or de-identify that personal information as soon as practicable.

If we determine that collection would have been permissible, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy.
