Protecting Your Privacy

Protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information is fundamental to the way the entrepreneurial mother does business.

We have systems and procedures in place to protect your privacy whenever we collect, store, use or disclose your personal information. You can request details about the information the entrepreneurial mother holds about you and you have the right to ask it to correct this information.

A new privacy framework

A Federal privacy framework regulating the way private sector organisations handle personal information has applied since 21 December 2001.

the entrepreneurial mother is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth) and the ten National Privacy Principles set out in that Act.

Handling of personal information relating to the entrepreneurial mother is outside the scope of the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth), if the handling of the information relates directly to a current or former employment relationship between employee and the entrepreneurial mother.

How we collect your personal information

We collect most personal information directly from you. For example, your personal information will be collected when you deal with us over the phone, email, in person or through our website.

The type of personal information we collect may include your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address and place of work.

There may be occasions when we need to source personal information about you from a third party, but it will only be for respected and trusted sources. For example, we may collect personal information from our business alliance partners.

Information collected before 21 December 2001

Parts of the National Privacy Principles relating to the collection, use and disclosure of information do not apply to personal information collected before 21 December 2001.

Importantly, we observe those parts of the National Privacy Principles that do not apply to such information and we continue to apply our stringent privacy practices in order to safeguard the confidentiality of the information.

How we use your personal information

We will tell you the purposes, for which we intend to use your personal information. We will only collect personal information about you that is necessary to perform our functions and activities. If you do not provide this information, the entrepreneurial mother may not be able to deal with you, or provide you with a product or service.

We may use personal information for several purposes

the entrepreneurial mother may collect your personal information:

•  To assist in providing information about a product or service
•  To consider your request for a product or service
•  To enable it to provide a product or service
•  To tell you about other products and services that may be of interest to you

What about sensitive information?

We will not collect, use or disclose sensitive information about you unless it is necessary to provide you with a product or service and we have your consent or, unless we are legally required to collect, use or disclose that information.

We will always explain the purpose if we collect sensitive information.

Your consent is important
