Disclosure

Common situations in which we disclose information are detailed below.

Publication of survey reports

When we publish survey reports  (on the  PETEJEANS.COM or   elsewhere ) we do not publish our survey recipients contact details.

Disclosure to the media

We never provide the media with personal information relating to clients or stakeholders unless you have consented to allow this, or where the issue is already publicly available.

Disclosure of sensitive information

We only disclose your sensitive information for the purposes for which you gave it to us or for directly related purposes you would reasonably expect or if you agree.

Quality of personal information

To ensure that the personal information we collect is accurate, up-to-date and complete we record information in a consistent format

• where necessary, confirm the accuracy of information we collect from a third party or a public source
• promptly add updated or new personal information to existing records
• regularly audit our contact lists to check their accuracy.
• We also review the quality of personal information before we use or disclose it.

Storage and security of personal information

We take steps to protect the security of the personal information we hold from both internal and external threats by:

• regularly assessing the risk of misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure of that information
• taking measures to address those risks, for example, we keep a record of when someone has added, changed or deleted personal information held in our electronic databases and regularly check that staff only access those records when they need to
• We destroy personal information in a secure manner when we no longer need it. For example, we generally destroy complaint records after seven years.

Accessing and correcting your personal information

• Under the Privacy Act (Australian Privacy Principles 12 and 13) you have the right to ask for access to personal information that we hold about you, and ask that we correct that personal information. You can ask for access or correction by contacting us and we must respond within 30 days. If you ask, we must give you access to your personal information, and take reasonable steps to correct it if we consider it is incorrect, unless there is a law that allows or requires us not to.
• We will ask you to verify your identity before we give you access to your information or correct it, and we will try to make the process as simple as possible. If we refuse to give you access to, or correct, your personal information, we must notify you in writing setting out the reasons.
• If we make a correction and we have disclosed the incorrect information to others, you can ask us to tell them about the correction. We must do so unless there is a valid reason not to.
• If we refuse to correct your personal information, you can ask us to associate with it (for example, attach or link) a statement that you believe the information is incorrect and why.
• You also have the right to request access to documents that we hold and ask for information that we hold about you to be changed or annotated if it is incomplete, incorrect, out-of-date or misleading
