Accessing Your Personal Information

Under the Privacy Act, you have a right to seek access to information that we hold about you (although there are some exceptions to this). You also have the right to ask us to correct information about you that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. If you wish to exercise your right under the Privacy Act to seek access to the personal information we hold about you, we ask that you contact our Privacy Officer (the details of whom are provided below), who will explain how we will handle your access request. In the first instance, we will generally provide you with a summary of the information we hold about you. We will assume (unless you tell us otherwise) that your request relates to our current records about you. These current records will include personal information about you which is included in our databases and in paper files, and which may be used by us on a day-to day-basis. To provide you with access to this personal information, we would ordinarily provide you with a printout of the relevant personal information from our databases, or with photocopies of records that are held only on paper files. If personal information about you (for example, your name & address details) is duplicated across different databases, we will generally provide you with one printout of this information, rather than multiple printouts. Ordinarily, we will not charge you for the cost of providing this type of access to these records. For legal and administrative reasons, we may also store records containing personal information in our archives. You may seek access to the records held by us that are not current records, but if you do so, we may charge you for the cost of providing access. If you are of the view that personal information about you is not accurate, complete or up- to-date, please provide our Privacy Officer with your request for correction (contact details are set out below). Our policy is to consider any requests for correction in a timely way.

6.

Keeping Your Information Up to Date

We will do our best to keep your personal information accurate, complete and up-to-date. You can help us with this by advising us if you believe that any of the information we hold is incomplete or inaccurate.
