Privacy Policy
Forster Mercantile Collections Pty Limited and its related bodies corporate ("FMC") are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals' personal information. FMC is bound by the National Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth) ("the Act"). FMC will only collect, use or disclose personal information in accordance with the Act and this privacy 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 a person whose identity is apparent, or can be reasonably ascertained, from the information or opinion.
FMC will, from time to time, collect and use personal information. The types of personal information collected and the purposes for which that personal information will be used will depend on the circumstances.
FMC will not disclose personal information of an individual to third parties except:
where third parties appointed by FMC require access to personal information held by FMC to perform services (in which case FMC requires these contractors to keep that personal information confidential and not to use or disclose it for any purpose other than the purpose of performing those services);
within FMC (that is, to related bodies corporate) in accordance with the law;
where FMC is required or authorised by law to disclose personal information, for example to law enforcement agencies; or
with the individual's consent.
Any person may seek access to personal information which FMC holds about that person and FMC will provide access to that information in accordance with the Act. There are certain exemptions which may apply to the provision of that information. FMC may charge an administration fee for granting access to information.
If you have any questions or concerns about FMC collection, use or disclosure of personal information, contact the FMC Privacy Hotline on (02) 9285 2800.
