To effectively conduct our business with you, it is important that the personal information we hold about you is complete, accurate and current. At any time while we hold your personal information, we may ask you to tell us of any changes to your personal information. Alternatively, if you are aware that the personal information we hold needs to be corrected or updated, please contact us using our details listed in Part 13 below.

 

You can also ask to obtain access to your personal information that we hold by contacting us at the contact details in Part 13 below.

 

In certain circumstances we may charge you a fee for providing you with access to your personal information, for example, if you make multiple requests for information, the information requested is voluminous or we incur third party costs in providing you access to your personal information.

 

Under certain circumstances in the NPPs, we may not be required to provide you with access or correct your personal information. Also, we may not be able to require other entities to provide personal information to you. If we decide not to provide you with access to or correct your personal information, we will give you reasons for our decision.

 

 

7.  IDENTIFIERS

 

An "identifier" is a unique identification number assigned to you by the Commonwealth Government or a Commonwealth Government Agency. Examples of identifiers include your Tax File Number (TFN), Medicare number or passport number.

 

BAC will only use this information to identify you when we are required to do so by law or to properly identify you in order to protect your personal property or information.

 

 

8.  OVERSEAS TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

BAC uses service providers of internet based services that have servers located overseas, including social media and cloud service providers. This means that personal information supplied to BAC via its websites or through BAC’s social media sites may sometimes be sent overseas.

 

If you elect to provide personal information to BAC through any of its online services you are deemed to consent to the overseas transfer that personal information.

 

Other than as described above, BAC will only transfer your personal information overseas if:

 

  1. We reasonably believe that the recipient of the information is subject to a law or contract which effectively upholds privacy principles similar to the NPPs;
  2. You have consented to the transfer;
  3. It is not practical to obtain your consent, the transfer is for your benefit and your consent would likely be given;
  4. The transfer of your information is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and BAC; or

  5. We have taken reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information will not be held, used or disclosed by the recipient in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy and the NPPs.

 

 

9.  SENSITIVE INFORMATION

 

"Sensitive information" is a kind of personal information which is given a greater level of protection under the NPPs. Examples of sensitive information include:

 

  1. Information about your health;
  2. Criminal records;
  3. Religious beliefs or affiliations; or
  4. Political opinions.

 

The NPPs impose greater obligations on us regarding any collection, use or disclosure we make of your personal information. We will only collect your sensitive information if we are permitted to do so under the NPPs, for example where:

 

  1. You have expressly consented to us doing so;
  2. We are required to by law; or
  3. The collection is necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

 

 

10.  ONLINE DEALINGS WITH BAC

 

10.1  Online payment systems

 

We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of personal information you provide to us online.

 

BAC uses third party payment process providers whose services meet stringent security requirements including Level 1 PCI DSS compliance, EMV certification and ISO 9001 accreditation. When you enter your payment details online, you are using a secure site which uses 1024 bit tunnelling encryption to protect your information during transmission. Transactions are protected by encryption technology and a combination of firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

 

We seek to keep current with available security and encryption technology so as to maintain the effectiveness of our security systems. However, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure and accordingly, we cannot warrant or ensure the security of any information you provide to us over the internet. Please note that you transmit information at your own risk.
