4. How we will collect and hold your personal information
Personal information
For the purposes of the Act and this policy, “personal information” 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.
Whenever it is reasonable and practicable to do so, we collect personal information about you directly from you. In some cases, your personal information may be provided to us by third parties such as business associates or agents. If you are asked to provide information about others it is your responsibility to ensure that you have their consent or are otherwise entitled to provide this information to us.
We may also collect personal information that we request from you regarding your use of our services or that we collect automatically from your visits to our websites.
It is your responsibility to provide us with current and accurate personal information so that we can provide our services to you.
Some examples of personal information that we might collect include:
Sensitive information

Global Security Australia Pty Ltd will not collect sensitive information except when the individual client has consented, it is required by law, or in other special specified circumstances, for example relating to individual or public health or safety.
Anonymous information
If you or your organisation prefers, it may remain anonymous to the extent that the name of the organisation need not be provided to us or in being provided it is marked in a way that indicates that you prefer not to be personally identified. However, all data necessary for contractual relations to exist in real time must be provided if we are to be able to fully supply you with our services.
In circumstances where we are required to do so, or are authorised by law, a court or tribunal to ask for your identification, we will request your personal information.
Further it is likely that it will be impractical for us to interact with you without some form of identification, and therefore we may request identification details from you at the beginning of each transaction. For example, we will not be able to open a commercial credit trading account or process a commercial credit application for you without obtaining identification details.

How we will hold your personal information
We will take steps to hold personal information in a manner which is secure and protected from unauthorised access.
Your information may be held in either a psychical form or in electronic form on our IT system.
We will take steps to protect the information against the modification, disclosure or misuse by including such things as physical restrictions, password protection for accessing electronic IT systems.
We will also endeavour to ensure that our service providers have protection for electronic IT systems and other necessary restrictions.
We will endeavour to ensure our staff are trained with respect to the security of the personal information we hold, and we will restrict any access where necessary.
We will endeavour to destroy and de-identify the personal information once it is no longer required.
In the event we hold personal information that is unsolicited, and we were not permitted to collect it, the personal information will be destroyed as soon as practicable.
Meeting regulatory requirements
We only collect and hold personal information by lawful and fair means.
We also collect your personal information in order to satisfy our regulatory obligations under applicable laws and rules.
In some circumstances, we may collect and hold personal information that has been collected from a third party or publicly available source. This will likely occur in instances where:

7. Disclosure overseas
From time to time we may send your information overseas, including to overseas Group members and to service providers or other third parties who operate or hold data outside Australia. Where we do this, we ensure that appropriate data handling and security arrangements are in place. Please note that Australian law may not apply to some of these entities.
8. Information Security and Storage
Customer information is stored in databases shared by the Global Security Australia Pty Ltd L group (Global Security Australia Pty Ltd and its related bodies corporate) situated within Australia and equivalent jurisdictions. Global Security Australia Pty Ltd may also disclose your personal information to companies that are part of the Global Security Australia Pty Ltd corporate family which may be located overseas (in which case your personal information will remain confidential and the purpose for which the information is collected and used will not change).
We use secure servers in order to store your personal information and ensure proper data storage. We take all reasonable measures to protect personal information that we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
If you provide paper-based documentation, we may retain the paper documents in addition to saving copies in an electronic format.
In addition to sharing your information with the Global Security Australia Pty Ltd corporate family, we may store your data using overseas cloud storage products as well as other overseas information technology products and services, where we reasonably believe that the overseas recipient is subject to laws that protect the information in a substantially similar way to the APP’s. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the APP’s in relation to the information. We will only transfer personal information outside Australia to a third-party recipient, if the recipient of the information agrees (or is compelled) to comply with privacy policies that are in accordance with (or are more stringent than) the APP’s.
9. Credit checks and credit reporting
Where you apply to us for credit or propose to be a guarantor, one of our checks involves obtaining a credit report about you.
You consent to us obtaining and making disclosure of Information (as that term is defined in the Act) about you from and to a CRB and/or another credit provider for a commercial credit related purpose and/or a credit guarantee purpose and/or a consumer credit purpose and/or another related purpose. We hereby notify you we may use and/or disclose credit eligibility information under section 21G of the Act.
Credit reports
A credit report contains information about your credit history which helps credit providers assess your credit applications, verify your identity and manage accounts you hold with them. Credit reporting bodies collect and exchange this information with credit providers like us and other service providers such as phone companies.
The Privacy Act limits the information that credit providers can disclose about you to credit reporting bodies, as well as the ways in which credit providers can use credit reports.
Information exchanged with credit reporting bodies
The information we can exchange includes your identification details, what type of credit has been extended to you, the amount of credit extended to you, whether or not you have met your credit obligations and if you have committed a serious credit infringement (such as fraud). We also ask the CRB to provide us with an overall assessment score of your creditworthiness.
Use and storage of credit-related information
We use information from credit reporting bodies to confirm your identity, assess applications for credit, manage our relationship with you and collect overdue payments. We may also use this information as part of arriving at our own internal assessment of your creditworthiness.
We store credit-related information with your other personal information. You can access credit-related information we hold about you, request us to correct the information and make a complaint to us about your credit-related information.
Credit providers may ask credit reporting bodies to use their credit-related information to pre-screen you for direct marketing. You can ask a CRB not to do this. Also, if you’ve been, or have reason to believe that you’re likely to become, a victim of fraud (including identity fraud), you can ask the CRB not to use or disclose the credit-related information it holds about you.
