National Water Carts realises the importance of ensuring that personal information held by the company is treated confidentially, and is committed to ensuring that all personal information is only collected, disclosed, used and stored in accordance with the National Privacy Principles set out under the Federal Privacy Act 1988.
‘Personal Information’ is 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 an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained from the information or opinion.
Any personal information that we collect will only be used and disclosed for the purpose for which it has been provided to us.
Personal information may need to be disclosed to external service providers engaged through National Water Carts for those service providers to fulfil their service obligations to the firm. For example:
IT service providers who assist in managing National Water Cart’s servers and networks may need to access client data to maintain the servers and networks. Where personal information is disclosed to an external party, National Water Carts will take steps to ensure that the external party treats such information confidentially and in accordance with the Federal Privacy Act 1988. We require these organisations to have compliant privacy procedures in place and to only use your personal information to assist us in providing those products and services and for no other purpose.
