We gather anonymous information to:
● monitor the use of our website;
● help us make improvements to the website; and
● offer relevant information and services to users of the website.
DISCLOSURE
There will be occasions where it will be necessary for LBT to disclose your personal
information to third parties.
Generally, we may disclose your personal information to:
● third party service providers on a confidential basis that we use in the ordinary
course of our business to assist with the delivery of our services. This
includes organisations such as data processing companies, printing
companies, payment processing companies, data storage companies (which
may use cloud computing storage systems which have the potential to make
your personal information accessible by overseas entities), finance agencies
or debt collection agencies;
● government authorities or other third parties as required by law; or
● any other third party that you have consented to the disclosure to.
TRANSFER OF INFORMATION OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA
LBT operates in Australia. That said, we may transfer your personal information to IT service providers who will hold your information on a cloud computing system which may hold your data on servers located outside of Australia. However, where your personal information is disclosed to an overseas recipient or a cloud computing system, we will endeavour to ensure that your personal information is handled equivalently to the APPs, the Privacy Act and our instructions in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By providing us with your personal information, you consent to your personal information being stored or sent overseas for the purposes set out in this Policy.
Otherwise than stated above, we do not disclose personal information that you may give us to any organisation or person outside of us unless you have authorised us to do so.
NO SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Under no circumstances will LBT sell or receive payment for licensing or disclosing
your personal information.
SECURITY
The security of your information is important to LBT. We have implemented generally acceptable standards of technology and operational security to ensure personal information (in both physical and electronic form) is protected against loss, misuse, interference and unauthorised access.
Only authorised personnel and contractors are provided access to personal
information and have agreed to ensure the confidentiality of this information.
Reasonable steps are taken to destroy any personal information that is no longer
required or personal information that has not been accessed or used by LBT for
seven years.
You should however be aware that the internet is not a secure environment and
information sent via the internet (including email) cannot be guaranteed to be totally secure. LBT will not be liable for any claim, expenses, cost, liability, fee, charge or damages or loss including consequential or special losses (whether direct or indirect) suffered by you where your personal information is fraudulently used or is used in an unauthorised manner.
DATA QUALITY, ACCESS AND CORRECTION
Access
You may at any time, request access to personal information that LBT holds about
you by making a request to our Privacy Officer at the address or email address
below.
LBT will endeavour to process any requests for access to personal information within a reasonable period of time. Where possible, we will provide you with access to that information either by providing you with copies of the information requested, allowing you to inspect the information requested, or providing you with a summary of the information held. If we need to deny your request for access we will let you know why and inform you how you may lodge a complaint regarding this decision.
Generally this will only be in cases where providing access would be unlawful or is
subject to a potential legal claim or proceeding. LBT may charge a reasonable administration fee for supplying personal information.
Correction
