However, we may also collect your personal information from other sources, including our affiliates, third parties such as your authorised representatives, our corporate clients when providing services to them, your employer, and/or our service providers. When collecting information from third parties you refer to us, ACP assumes, and you will ensure, that you have made the third party aware of that referral and the purposes of collection, use, and disclosure of the relevant personal information.

2.5 Anonymity

It is generally not possible for ACP to enter into a business relationship, or carry out commercial transactions, with you without any personal information. In some limited circumstances, you may be able to contact us by using a pseudonym (for example, when contacting us about general information or queries).

4. Dealing with ACP Online

4.1 ACP may collect personal information you enter when using our website.

When browsing our websites, ACP’s webservers automatically collect standard information as part of your visit. That information may include:

Cookies. Cookies are small data files stored on your computer to help us to determine the type of browser and settings you are using, where you have been on our websites, when you return to our websites and where you came from. The purpose of this information is to provide you with a more relevant and effective experience on our websites, including presenting web pages according to your needs or preferences. We may also use external service providers to track the traffic and usage on the websites. Allowing ACP to create a cookie does not give us access to the rest of our computer and we will not use cookies to track your online activity once you leave our site. Cookies are read only by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus. You may not be able to access some parts of our websites if you choose to disable the cookie acceptance in your browser, particularly the secure parts of the websites.
Site visit information. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, referring sites, pages viewed and other information, which generally does not personally identify you. This information is gathered and used for the purposes of system administration, and to prepare statistics on the use of our website.

4.2 Our websites may have links to external third party websites not operated by ACP. External websites should contain their own privacy statements and we recommend you review them when using their websites. Third party websites are not covered by this policy, and these sites are not subject to ACP’s privacy standards and procedures.

5. Personal Information Data Storage, Retention, Security, And Location

5.1 ACP takes reasonable steps to protect any personal information we hold against loss, misuse, interference, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. We may store your personal information in various forms, including hardcopy or electronic. ACP holds various policies, procedures, and systems to keep your personal information secure.

5.2 Where required by law, ACP must hold certain information for a set period of time. Once any specified period expires, or we otherwise no longer need to hold your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to destroy, delete, or de-identify your personal information in a secure manner.

6. Overseas disclosure of personal information

6.1 We may disclose your personal information to overseas organisations that help ACP provide our services. These countries include Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Singapore and United States of America but may include further locations as required.

6.2 ACP will take all reasonable steps not to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients unless:

You provide consent (which may be implied);
ACP is satisfied that the overseas recipient is compliant with the APPs and this Policy where reasonably practicable;
ACP is taking appropriate action in relation to suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct.

6.3 Where we disclose your personal information to an entity located overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient of your personal information handles your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act.

7. Access and correction

ACP acknowledges that it is important that personal information held about you is complete, accurate, and current, in order to effectively conduct business with you. Whilst we hold your personal information, we may ask you to tell us of any changes to your personal information.

7.1 Correcting personal information

We will take reasonable steps to correct personal information held about you where we are satisfied that the information is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading, or if you request that the information be corrected in accordance with clause 9 of this Policy.

If we refuse to correct your personal information, you may request that we associate with the information a statement that the information is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

7.2 Accessing personal information

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, or request that we change personal information we hold about you, by contacting us in accordance with clause 9 of this Policy.

We will notify you in the event that ACP does not agree and withholds access or amends to your personal information as requested, providing reasons for the decision where appropriate. If the rejection relates to a request to change your personal information, you may make a statement about the requested change which ACP will attach to your record.

7.3 Charges

ACP will not charge you for making a request to access or change personal information we hold about you. However, ACP reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee to recover costs incurred in providing you with access to your personal information, including for example if you make multiple requests, where requests relate to large volumes of information, or if ACP incurs third party costs in providing you with access.

We may request to verify your identity before responding to any request.
