We may collect personal information by telephone, correspondence (such as letters and email), our website, social media, our forms or in person.

We will allow you to deal with us anonymously or using a pseudonym where it is lawful and practicable to do so. This may be possible if you are making a general inquiry but it may not be possible if we are to assess and investigate a query and provide a response, or are required to transact or engage with you.

In some circumstances, we may also collect personal information about you from third parties, including:

• Your authorised representatives acting on your behalf

• Your employer

• Market research service providers

We will only collect personal information about you for purposes which are reasonably necessary for our functions or activities and for any other purposes that you have consented to (expressly or impliedly).

We may use or disclose your personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected, related secondary purposes that we could reasonably be expected to use it for and any other purposes to which you have consented (expressly or impliedly).

The primary purposes for which we may use or disclose your personal information may include:

• Providing you with information and consulting with you about our existing and future business and community activities

• Communicating with you as our supplier, customer, prospective customer, contractor or consultant or as an individual working for them

• Supplying you with products and services

• Responding to feedback, queries and complaints

• Conducting customer and market research

• Marketing purposes where we have your consent (expressly or impliedly) or we are otherwise permitted by law to use the information for that purpose and

• If we are required or authorised by an Australian law or an order of a court or tribunal to do so.

Examples of parties to whom we may disclose your personal information include:

• Service providers, advisors and consultants

• Joint venture partners and incorporated joint venture companies in which we are a shareholder

• Financial institutions

• Government agencies including law enforcement agencies and regulators

• Any other organisation or individual where either the disclosure is required or permitted by law, you have been notified at the time of collection of the personal information, or you have provided your express or implied consent for us to disclose your personal information to an organisation or individual or

• To a third party for the purposes of initiating or defending legal proceedings or participating in alternative dispute resolution.

It may become necessary at some stage for us to disclose your personal information to an overseas recipient. If this occurs, we will update this policy to reflect such disclosure.
