Background
The CRC for
Polymers
(CRC-P) is
committed to
protecting
your privacy
and handling
your
personal
information
in
compliance
with the
National
Privacy
Principles (NPPs)
contained in
the Privacy
Act 1988 (Cth).
This Privacy
Policy is
provided to
make you
aware of how
the CRC-P
collects,
uses and
manages your
personal
information.
This policy
applies to
any personal
information
you provide
to the
CRC-P,
including
via our
website or
under any
agreement,
and to
information
which we
collect
about you
from other
sources.
However, the
CRC-P may
rely upon
exemptions
in the
Privacy Act
in relation
to employee
records.
Collection
of personal
information
The CRC-P
collects
personal
information
from
business
associates,
research
partners,
applicants
for
employment,
scholarships
and prizes,
persons who
receive
CRC-P
publications
or attend
CRC-P
events, and
website
contacts or
subscribers.
Such
information
may include
your name,
employer and
position,
address,
telephone
number and
e-mail
address. The
information
is collected
directly
from
individuals
where
reasonable
and
practical,
but there
are some
cases where
personal
information
about
individuals
may be
collected
from someone
else, such
as an
employer.
Generally,
we will tell
you why we
are
collecting
personal
information
and how we
plan to use
it, or this
will be
obvious when
we collect
the
information.
Information
you provide
about other
people
If you
provide
personal
information
to the CRC-P
about
another
person, such
as an
employee or
business
associate,
you must
ensure that
you are
entitled to
provide that
information
to us, and
that we are
entitled to
use that
information
for the
purposes for
which it is
provided.
Use and
disclosure
The CRC-P
collects
personal
information
so that we
can conduct
the
research,
business and
related
functions
and
activities
of the
CRC-P. In
particular,
the CRC-P
uses
information
stored on
CRC-P
computers to
generate
mailing
lists so
that we can
communicate
the
achievements
of the
CRC-P, and
distribute
other
information
relating to
CRC-P
research and
activities.
Recipients
of
newsletters
and other
publications
have the
opportunity
to
discontinue
receipt by
contacting
us, or
“unsubscribing”
via the
website.
Generally,
we do not
disclose
personal
information
to third
parties.
Exceptions
may include
emergency
situations
or where
there is a
requirement
under law to
disclose
certain
information.
Where the
CRC-P
engages
contractors
to provide
services
which
involve
handling
personal
information,
we only
permit the
contractors
to use the
information
for the
specific
purpose for
which it is
provided.
We will not
sell our
mailing
lists, or
otherwise
make them
available to
direct
marketers.
Online
privacy
The CRC-P
does not
currently
use cookies
on its
website, and
therefore
does not
identify
users or
track
usage.
Where you
access other
websites
through
links from
the CRC-P
website,
please be
aware that
these other
websites are
not subject
to the CRC-P
Privacy
Policy.
Information
security
The CRC-P
will take
reasonable
steps to
protect the
personal
information
it holds
from loss,
misuse and
unauthorised
access,
modification
or
disclosure.
Access and
correction
With limited
exceptions,
the NPPs
provide the
right for
individuals
to access
personal
information
about
themselves.
You can
request to
access
personal
information
by
contacting
the CRC-P.
If personal
information
is found to
be
inaccurate,
the CRC-P
will take
reasonable
steps to
correct the
information.
As we rely
on the
accuracy of
the
information
you provide
us, please
notify us of
any changes
to your
personal
information
details.
