Our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988
At Simplex Algorithm we are committed to acting locally and planning culturally to this end
we have adopted a privacy policy adhering to the guidelines of the Commonwealth of Australia.
This privacy policy sets out how we comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988. We are bound by the Information Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act which regulate how agencies may collect, use, disclose and store personal information and how individuals
may access and correct personal information held about them.
In this privacy policy, personal information (as defined in the Privacy Act) means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion
It is our usual practice to collect personal information directly from the individual. Sometimes we collect personal information from a third party or a publicly available source, but only if the individual has consented to such collection or would reasonably expect us to collect their personal information in this way, or if it is necessary for a specific purpose such as the investigation of a privacy complaint.
In limited circumstances we may receive personal information about third parties from individuals who contact us and supply us with the personal information of others in the documents they provide to us. In these circumstances we will attempt to ensure that the consent of those third parties is obtained if we think we may need to use or disclose that information. We only collect personal information for purposes which are directly related to our functions or activities under the Privacy Act, and only when it is necessary for or directly related to such purposes
