Do you keep data in Australia and are there any exceptions?

AIR works hard to contain all data use and transit to Australia

However, at times, software, portals and applications may be overseas based and data may be stored or ‘transit’ through overseas locations eg. Google Analytics services. Therefore, your information may be channelled or stored by third party providers located outside of Australia

By providing us with personal information, you will be consenting to this and acknowledge that we cannot fully ensure that those third parties comply with Australian privacy laws.

How we treat personal information that is also sensitive information

Sensitive information is personal information that is given a higher level of protection under the Australian Privacy Principles.

Sensitive information includes:

  • an individual’s racial or ethnic origin,
  • health information,
  • political opinions,
  • membership of a political association,
  • professional or trade association or trade union,
  • religious beliefs or affiliations,
  • philosophical beliefs,
  • sexual identification/practices

We will only have this information in cases where it relates to, or is necessary for, the service you are receiving. We will always gain your consent for sensitive information (unless subject to an exception under the law).

Information from third parties

If we receive personal information about you from a third party, we will manage it as set out in this Policy.

If you are a third party providing personal information about somebody else, you represent and warrant that you have such person’s consent to provide the personal information to us.
