If we are not provided with all the personal information we request, we may not be able to provide you with our services. The type of information we collect and handle normally includes names, addresses, phone numbers and other contact details.

• for other purposes permitted, required or authorised by or under law; and
• for any other purpose, where an individual has consented to its use for that purpose.

Disclosure

Except where indicated above, we will not disclose personal information to a third party unless:

• the disclosure is for a primary purpose for which the information was collected;
• the individual concerned has consented to the disclosure;
• the third party is our agent or contractor, in which case we will require them to disclose and to use the personal information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed;

• the disclosure is reasonably necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal or equitable claim; or
• the disclosure is permitted, required or authorised by or under law.

Marketing

We may use personal information to advise the individual concerned of new products and marketing initiatives that we think may be of interest to them. This may include product offerings, sales, newsletters and general information about Power Golf.

Those who prefer not to receive information about our services can contact our Privacy Officer to be removed from the relevant circulation list. Contact details for our Privacy Officer appear at the end of this policy.

We never disclose personal information to a third party for the purpose of allowing them to direct market their products or service on an individual, unless individuals have expressly consented to that disclosure.

We may require written confirmation of a request to be removed from our circulation list, for example where legislation requires us to provide particular communications to the individual concerned.

Quality & correction

At all times we strive to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If at any time you believe the personal information that we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, you should let us know. We will use all reasonable efforts to correct the information.

Security of Your Personal Information

Access to your personal information is limited to those who specifically need it to conduct their business responsibilities.

We also maintain physical security procedures to manage and protect the use and storage of paper records containing personal information.

Our staff are responsible for handling personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act. We educate our staff about the requirements of the National Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act.

We will keep your information so that we can continue to provide the products and services you have requested from us.

We will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information when it is no longer required.
