Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. The following mechanisms provide you with control over your information:
- Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Website may then be inaccessible, restricted or not function properly.
We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information on our Website to serve interest- based advertising and you should refer to their website privacy policy for additional information. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) on the NAI’s website.
Links to Third Parties’ Sites and Third-Party Integrations
We may provide links to websites or resources outside of our Website for your informational purposes only. We may also provide links to third party integrations. Third party integrations are websites or platforms that synchronise with our Website to provide you with additional functionality, tools, or services such as maps, sending requested information, etc.
You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of third party sites, resources, or integrations and do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, goods, services or other materials on, available through, or provided by such sites, resources, or integrations. We are not responsible for the privacy or other practices of such sites and cannot guarantee the security of personal information that you provide, or is collected by, such sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms and conditions on those linked sites.
DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable organisational, technical, and administrative measures to protect information we collect from you. We do our best to protect your personal information; however, no system for safeguarding personal or other information is 100% secure and although we have taken steps to protect your personal information from being intercepted, accessed, used or disclosed by unauthorised persons, we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information, including information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our Website.
Data Retention
Your personal information will be retained for as long as required for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or insofar as such is necessary for compliance with statutory obligations and for solving any disputes.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the personal information; the purposes for which we process the personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable legal requirements.
Do Not Track
“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that you can set in your Internet search browser that sends a signal to a website that you do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information about you. However, because our Website is not configured to detect Do Not Track signals from a user’s computer, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track requests.
We track Website users over time and across third party websites.
ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

You may contact us (see the Section entitled “Contact Us” below) to request access to any personal information that you have provided to us, or to request that we correct any such personal information. A summary of your legal rights is set out below:
- Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a data subject access request). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
We may decline your request to access or correct your personal information in certain circumstances in accordance with local laws and regulations, for example, and without limitation, the Australian Privacy Principles. If we do refuse your request, we will provide you with a reason for our decision.

- The right to not be discriminated against if you choose to exercise your privacy rights.
Access to Specific Information
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will make the disclosure to you.
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
Exercising Access and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us (see the Section entitled “Contact Us” below). We seek to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing (which may include email).
A verifiable Consumer request is one made by:
- the Consumer who is the subject of the request;
- a Consumer on behalf of the Consumer’s minor child; or
- a natural person or person registered with the Secretary of State authorised to act on behalf of a consumer.
If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of a Consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive personal information to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. However, making a verifiable Consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the personal information we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable request for any other purpose, except as required by law.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Authorised Agents
You may authorise a natural person, or a business registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to your rights. When you submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, unless you have provided the Authorised Agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your Authorised Agent written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf and verify the Authorised Agent’s identity with us. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be Authorised Agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorisation.
Other California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by the Company to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Requests may be made one time per calendar year. If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared customer information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2018 will receive information regarding 2017 sharing activities). You may submit your request using the contact information in the Section entitled “Contact Us” at the end of this Privacy Policy.
EU GDPR and UK GDPR PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, you have the following additional and specific rights in relation to your personal data (where applicable). If you are a job applicant or employee located in the EU or UK, our GDPR Privacy Notice and Personnel Data Retention Policy will also apply to you.
This section incorporates the general provisions of the Website Policy, where applicable. If any provision in the Policy is inconsistent with this EEA/UK section (GDPR section), the terms of this GDPR section shall apply to the processing of personal data subject to the EU GDPR or UK GDPR. Terms used in this GDPR section shall have the meaning ascribed to them by the applicable data protection law, namely, the EU GDPR or UK GDPR, including the definition of personal data.
For purposes of the EU GDPR and UK GDPR, we are the data controller of the personal data we collect about you, including through our Website. As data controller, we process your personal data in accordance with this GDPR section. If you have any questions, you may contact (see the Section entitled “Contact Us” below).
We make every attempt to process your personal data in accordance with applicable law. In addition to the information provided above, individuals located in the EEA and UK have the following rights:

- Deletion (also known as the right to be forgotten): You have the right to request that we delete the personal data that we process about you in certain circumstances. The right to deletion does not apply in some circumstances (for example, if we need to retain such personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims).
- Restriction: You have the right to require us to restrict your personal data in certain circumstances (for example, if you contest the accuracy of your personal data and we are verifying the accuracy of it).
- Portability: You have the right to ask us to transfer a copy of your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or transmit the personal data to another service provider or third party in certain circumstances.

In certain circumstances, even if you withdraw your consent, we may still be able to process your personal data if required or permitted by law or for the purpose of exercising or defending our legal rights or meeting our legal and regulatory obligations.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
We are a global organisation. We generally collect personal information or data about you in the United States, Australia or the jurisdiction in which our affiliate with which you are dealing is located. It is likely that your personal information will be transferred outside of the jurisdiction it was collected including:
- to one or more of our affiliates, offices or other companies within our group located outside of the jurisdiction in which the personal information was collected for recruitment of staff such as name, title, contact details, qualifications and work history (including information included in your CV or cover letter);
- to service providers who may handle, process or store your personal information on our behalf where they are located outside of the jurisdiction in which the personal information was collected; or
- where there is an international dimension to the products or services we are providing to you.
The recipients of such personal information may be located in various countries including United States, Australia, UK, and countries in the EEA.
If you are located in the EEA or the UK, we will only make such transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Under EU GDPR and UK GDPR, we can only transfer your personal data to a country or international organisation outside the UK/EEA where:
- the UK government or, where the EU GDPR applies, the European Commission has decided the particular country or international organisation ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy decision’);
- there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects; or
- a specific exception applies under data protection law.
If there is no adequacy decision in place between the EEA or UK and the third country, we generally transfer your personal data to another country using legally-approved transfer mechanisms including, where relevant, by entering into EU or UK standard contractual clauses (or equivalent measures) with the party outside the European Economic Area or UK. The EU standard contractual clauses are available here. To obtain additional information on how we transfer your personal data, please contact us at (see the Section entitled “Contact Us” below).
We may disclose your personal information or data outside the jurisdiction it was collected in accordance with applicable Privacy Laws.
While your personal information is in another jurisdiction, the courts, law enforcement agencies or regulatory bodies may be able to access your personal information in accordance with the laws of that jurisdiction.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HANDLING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OR DATA
You may contact us (see the Section entitled “Contact Us” below) at any time if you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or about the way in which your personal information or data has been handled. You may make a complaint to us at the contact details set out below. We will first consider your complaint to determine whether there are simple or immediate steps which can be taken to resolve the complaint. We will generally respond to your complaint within a week. If your complaint requires more detailed consideration or investigation, we will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within a week and endeavour to complete our investigation into your complaint promptly. We may ask you to provide further information about your complaint and the outcome you are seeking. We will then typically gather relevant facts, locate and review relevant documents, and speak with individuals involved.
In most cases, we will investigate and respond to a complaint within 30 days of receipt of the complaint. If the matter is more complex or our investigation may take longer, we will let you know.
If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint, or you believe that we have breached applicable laws and regulations with regards to the handling of your personal information, you may be able to file a complaint with a regulator.
If you are located in Australia, you may make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner by telephone at 1300 363 992 or by using the contact details on the website www.oaic.gov.au.
If you are outside of Australia, you may wish to take your complaint up with the local data protection authority in your jurisdiction. As referred to above, if you are located in EEA or UK, the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR give you the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In particular, in the EU (or EEA) member state in which you are located. If you are in the UK, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office who may be contacted at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/.
