Privacy Policy

About this Privacy Policy

The 360 Guide ( we, us or our) is committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in relation to personal information that we collect, hold, use and disclose.

In the Privacy Act and this Privacy Policy (Policy), “personal information” is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion is true or not and whether the information is recorded in a material form or not.

Information concerning the Privacy Act and the APPs can be obtained from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

When an individual engages us to supply services, applies for employment with us, communicates with us or uses any of our services (including our website), personal information may be collected, used and disclosed as set out in this Policy.

This Policy may be updated from time to time. The current version of the Policy is available free of charge on our website or can be obtained from us by forwarding a request by mail or email.

What kind of personal information do we collect and hold

We may collect and hold personal information that is reasonably necessary to conduct our business. The personal information that we may collect and hold will depend on the nature of your dealings with us but may include:

Personal details (e.g. name, age, date of birth).

Contact details (e.g. postal and email addresses, telephone numbers).

Credit card details.

Information about you which you provide to us directly or indirectly through the use of our website.

Decisions about whether particular information that we collect is personal information may vary depending on the circumstances and context of the situation in relation to which the information is collected.

We will not collect sensitive information (as defined in the Privacy Act) about you unless you consent to us collecting the information and the information is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities or collection of the information is otherwise permitted by the APPs.

We will not use or disclose a government related identifier (such as a Medicare number) unless the use or disclosure is permitted by the APPs.

Use of our websites, cookies and third party websites

When you visit our website or download information from it our server automatically collects certain browser or device generated information such as your IP address, domain, visit date, time and duration, browser type, operating system, pages accessed and documents downloaded.

Our website uses cookies which are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are used to make websites work, or work more efficiently to improve the user experience. Cookies remain on your computer for differing times. Some expire at the end of each session and some remain for longer periods so that if you return to our website, you will have a better user experience.

If you do not wish to receive cookies you may be able to change your browser settings to refuse cookies or notify you when you receive a cookie and provide you with the opportunity to either accept or reject it.

Our website may contain links to third party websites that may collect personal information for their purposes. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites and this Policy does not apply to them. We recommend that before using any third party websites that you access from links on our website you review their privacy policies and practices to assess whether they are acceptable to you.

How do we collect personal information

We will only collect personal information about an individual directly from the individual unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so. If we collect personal information about an individual from another person without the individual’s knowledge or from publicly available sources, we will take reasonable steps to notify the individual that we have collected the information and the circumstances of its collection.

If an individual contacts us we may retain a record of the contact which may contain personal information.

If we receive unsolicited personal information about an individual we will, within a reasonable period after receiving the information, determine whether or not we could have collected the information under the APPs. If we determine that we could not have collected the information under the APPs we will destroy or de-identify the information as soon as practicable, provided it is lawful and reasonable for us to do so.

Notification of the collection of personal information

At or before, or as soon as practicable after, we collect personal information about an individual, the APPs require us to take reasonable steps to notify the individual, or otherwise ensure that the individual is aware, of various matters including:

our identity and contact details.

if we collect the information from someone other than the individual, the fact that we collect or have collected the information and the circumstances of that collection.

if the collection of the information is required or authorised by law or a court or tribunal order, the fact that the collection is so required or authorised.

the purposes for which we collect the information.

the consequences (if any) for the individual if the information is not collected.

the types of entities, bodies or persons to which we usually disclose personal information.

whether we are likely to disclose personal information to overseas recipients and, if practicable, the countries where they are located.

One way we do this is by making this Policy available on our website.

Anonymity and pseudonymity

Although our website can be accessed anonymously, if you wish to take advantage of the services that we offer through the website, you may need to provide personal information to us. If you choose not to provide information that we request we may not be able to provide services that you have requested.

For what purposes do we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information

We generally only collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for the primary purposes of:

conducting our business operations

communicating with website users to resolve queries or complaints

sending marketing communications (including newsletters) where it is lawful for us to do so.

Complying with our legal and regulatory obligations

We may also use or disclose personal information for secondary purposes that are related to any of these purposes where you have consented to the use or disclosure for such purposes or where the use or disclosure is otherwise permitted by the APPs.

When we collect, hold, use or disclose personal information

The situations where we may collect, hold, use or disclose personal information include where you:

have dealings with us as a client, supplier, contractor or consultant or agent or as an employee of a client, supplier, contractor, consultant or agent.

From time to time we may be required to collect, use or disclose personal information to comply with applicable legal requirements. We may also disclose personal information to suppliers, contractors, consultants or agents for the primary purposes for which it was collected or for other purposes related to any of those purposes. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure that those entities comply with the APPs in connection with the personal information that we disclose to them and only use the information for the purposes specified in our agreement with them.

If we send you marketing communications you may request us not to send further marketing communications to you. If we receive such a request we will update our records within a reasonable time.

We do not sell personal information that we collect or hold to any other entity or person.

How do we disclose your personal information

We may disclose your personal information to:

  • specific third parties authorised by you to receive information held by us
  • the police, any relevant authority or enforcement body, or your Internet Service Provider or network administrator, for example, if we have reason to suspect that you have committed a breach of any of our terms and conditions, or have otherwise been engaged in any unlawful activity, and we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary;
  • as required or permitted by any law (including the Privacy Act)

Direct marketing material

We may send you direct marketing communications and information about products and services that we consider may be of interest to you. These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, SMS or email, in accordance with applicable marketing laws, such as the Spam Act 2004 (Cth). If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so.

In addition, at any time, you may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting us (details below) or by using the opt-out facilities provided (e.g. an unsubscribe link), or by updating your personal details on our “MyAccount” webpage. We will then ensure that your name is removed from our mailing list. We do not provide your personal information to other organisations for the purpose of direct marketing unless expressly authorised by you.

If you receive communications from us that you believe have been sent to you other than in accordance with this policy, or in breach of any law, please contact us using the details provided below.

Disclosure of personal information to overseas recipients

We will not disclose personal information that we collect or hold to overseas recipients without complying with the APPs.

Security of personal information

We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are intended to protect the personal information that we hold against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use including restricted access to our offices, use of firewalls and secure servers. These safeguards include restricted access to our offices and the use of firewalls and secure servers. We also use anti-virus software, which is updated regularly, to protect our computer systems and data from computer viruses.

Because the internet is not a secure environment, personal information that individuals send to us via the internet is sent at their risk.

When we no longer require personal information, we take reasonable steps to destroy the information in a secure manner or de-identify the information unless we are required by Australian law, or a court or tribunal order, to retain the information.

Data Breaches

In the unlikely event that our security measures are compromised and personal information that we hold is subject to a data breach, we will comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act for responding to data breaches including:

upon becoming aware of a data breach we will take urgent action to contain the breach, determine who may have been affected by the data breach and mitigate any risk of harm that may result from the breach.

if we have reasonable grounds for believing that the data breach is likely to result in serious harm to an individual, we will notify the individual as soon as practicable.

we will notify the office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required under the Privacy Act.

we will review our security measures and implement any additional measures we consider to be necessary to enhance the security of personal information.

Access to and correction of personal information

Subject to the APPs, you have the right to request access to personal information that we hold about you and to ask us to update or correct personal information if it is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

You can request access to, or correction of, your personal information by forwarding a written request to us by mail or email. Upon receipt of a request we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

If we do not agree to give you access to your personal information or do not agree to correct personal information as requested by you, we will notify you in writing of the reasons for our decision (unless, having regard to the APPs, it would be unreasonable for us to do so) and the mechanisms that are available to you to complain about our decision.

If we correct personal information that has been disclosed to another organisation that is bound by the APPs and you request us to notify the organisation of the correction, we will take reasonable steps to comply with the request unless it is impracticable or unlawful for us to do so.

If we do not correct personal information as requested by you and you request that we associate with the information a statement that it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, we will take reasonable steps to comply with the request.

Complaints about how we deal with Personal Information

If you wish to complain about how we have dealt with your personal information, you should submit the complaint to us in writing.

If we receive a written complaint from you, we will decide what action, if any, we propose taking to deal with the complaint and notify you of our decision within a reasonable timeframe.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
