This allows a website to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data for navigational or content improvements.
Cookies are not programs that come onto your system and damage files. You can disable cookies or be warned when cookies are being used to enable you to accept or reject them by adjusting your internet browser settings. However, disabling or rejecting cookies may mean that you are not able to access parts of our Website or to take advantage of the improved user experience that cookies can help provide.
13. Using our Website
As with many sites, when visiting our Website, a record of your visit (not your personal information) may be recorded in Google analytics or similar services. This record may include the following types of information:
- Date and time of the visit
- Pages accessed, and documents downloaded
- Address of any website that linked you directly to our Website.
This information is not shared with any third party other than those assisting Tiadan to enhance your user experience.
14. Website and service security and privacy and how long we keep your information
We understand that you may be concerned about the security of the personal information we collect from you.
We will take reasonable steps to protect personal information which we hold from misuse, loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
For site and service security purposes and to ensure services remain available to all users, we employ software programs to monitor network traffic in order to identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause us damage.
However, you should be aware that, when using our website or our services, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure.
We will continue to store and hold your personal information indefinitely, until such time as we no longer need it for any purpose for which the information may be used or disclosed under this Privacy Policy or under applicable privacy or data protection laws or, if earlier, and subject to the next paragraph, a reasonable time after you ask us to delete it. We typically retain data for as long as we are providing goods or services to you and for a period of up to six (6) years (or longer if the legal limitation period is greater). We will destroy, delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable time after the end of this period unless we are required to retain it by law.
15. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change, modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time, without liability to you, by publication of the revised version on our website or by notice to you. The revised version shall take effect immediately upon publication or notification, unless otherwise set out in this Privacy Policy or the notice.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on 11 December 2023.
16. Can I change information about myself or my company? How can I access and correct or ask you to delete or cease processing my personal information?
Tiadan will, upon your request and subject to applicable privacy laws, provide you with access to your personal information (including any credit related information) that is held by us.
We will endeavour to ensure that credit related or other personal information we hold about you is up to date, accurate and complete, but will generally assume that any information provided by you is free from errors and omissions unless you tell us it needs to be corrected. So, yes, it’s important that you keep us informed if the credit related or other personal information, we have about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. We ask that all requests are made in writing. We will take reasonable steps to action them quickly and promptly.
You may instruct us to remove any previous consent you provided to receive marketing communications from us.
You may make a request for access to, or correction of, any credit related or other personal information we hold about you. We may request you to verify your identity and (for access requests) specify what type(s) of information you require before processing your request. We will give you reasons if we deny access to your credit related information.
A fee will not apply to making a request for access or update to or deletion of your personal information. A fee may apply and be charged for providing the information to you. The fee covers the cost to us in collating, copying and providing certain information to you. We will only charge this fee where it is lawful for us to do so.
In some circumstances where we correct a record, we may still require retention of the original record.
In some circumstances, we may refuse to provide you with access to or correct your personal information including, but not limited to, where:
- giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others;
- the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, and the information would not be discoverable in those proceedings;
- giving access would be unlawful;
- denying access is otherwise required or authorised by law; or
- the request for access is frivolous or vexatious.
If we refuse to provide you with access to or correct your personal information, we will provide you with an explanation in writing.
17. Feedback, queries and how to complain
We believe that, in receiving your feedback, we are provided with a valuable opportunity to improve the services we deliver to you and maintain your confidence in Tiadan. Tiadan is also committed to working with its customers, to ensure any complaint, concerns or questions are resolved fairly and quickly. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to access, correct or ask us to delete or to cease processing your personal information, or if you have a query regarding our privacy practices or wish to complain about a breach of privacy or data protection laws (or an applicable credit code), please do not hesitate to contact us.
We would ask that any complaint should be made first in writing to us. We will then respond in writing and in accordance with any timeframes required by law, and we will endeavour to provide you with confirmation as to how we propose to deal with the complaint as soon as reasonably practicable. We may require you to provide further information about your complaint to duly assess your complaint.
If, for any reason you do not wish to complain to us initially or if you are unhappy with how we propose to resolve your complaint, then complaint may also be made to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
