FOCUS Business Technologies Privacy Policy
FOCUS Business Technologies abides by the “National Privacy Principles” which provides a scheme for the collection, disclosure, use and storage of personal information.
Why do we collect information?
We will collect personal information in the process of conducting business. That personal information may be obtained directly from you, via another contact in your organisation or through a third party who we believe has informed you that your details may be provided to us. We will only store your personal details if they relate to your organisation conducting business with us. We do not obtain or store information that is deemed by the Privacy Act to be "Sensitive Information". By submitting information electronically to us, you acknowledge that you have given us your consent to collect and store the information for this purpose.
When do we use your information?
The information we collect in a particular circumstance may be used in another instance unless you expressly request that this should not occur. However, we will only use the information which we receive about you for the purpose of doing business with your organisation or in connection with that purpose. Personal information may also be used to track user trends, conduct internal marketing research or determine ways to improve our site. This information will not be shared with third parties unless you expressly direct us to do so.
How do we collect the information?
Where practical, we will only collect information directly from you. If we collect it from another source, we will do what is reasonably possible to inform you that we have collected the information.
How do we store your personal information?
Your information is held either in paper-based records or in electronic form in our databases. We take proper precautions to ensure the security of that information. If your information is no longer needed, we will either delete it from our systems or delete specific references to you, so that it cannot be attributed to you personally.
To whom will we disclose your information?
We do not normally disclose your personal information to anyone. If we intend to do so, we will contact you before we do.
How can you check the information we hold?
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold is accurate and we will put into effect any changes that you ask for. If you wish to view the personal information that we have stored please e-mail, fax or write to our Privacy Officer, Chris Voukidis. Your personal information will only be made available to you for viewing at our office. (Note: This will not include any passwords or security relevant information). We will not mail or e-mail your personal information document to you but we will notify you in a timely manner when it is available for viewing.
