GIRA Privacy Statement

GIRA respects your privacy and is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (the Act), and National Privacy Principles (NPP’s) contained in the Act.

Accordingly, this policy has been developed in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information.

The following outlines our privacy policy:

Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.

We will collect and use personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.

We will only retain personal information for as long as necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes.

We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means with the knowledge of the individual concerned.

Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete and up-to-date.

We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

We will make readily available to stakeholders information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.

We are committed to conducting our activities in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.
