What Personal Information is collected by Maximus International?
Visitors to the website provide various kinds of information
in several different ways. Some visitors choose to submit
personal information through booking forms, needs analysis
and requests for more information, either through e-mails,
response devices or other methods. Depending on the service
you are accessing, you could be asked at various times to
provide information including but not limited to, details
such as your name, e-mail address or information about your
requirements.
Maximus International will not collect sensitive information
about you such as details of your race, political beliefs,
religion or health. However this may be required where we
are providing you with specialised services (such as access
requirements for a disability). At times, we may need this
personal information in order to provide you with a broad
range of information in relation to our services and to assist
in delivering a better service to you.
Use of Personal Information
Information is primarily collected for the purpose of establishing
and maintaining proper business records. Your personal information
may also be used by Maximus International to notify you about
new products, services, promotions and industry events from
time to time.
Will your information be given to anyone else?
All personal information collected by Maximus International
is only made available to those authorised individuals who
need to handle that information for the purposes outlined
in this policy. In some circumstances, personal information
may also be disclosed outside Maximus International Pty Ltd.
For example, we may disclose personal information to third
parties to whom Maximus International Pty Ltd contracts out
specialised functions (such as mailing houses and printing
companies). In such cases, we will require an undertaking
from such persons to comply with the National Privacy Principles
and to not use the personal information for any purposes beyond
the scope of our contract with them.
Personal information may also be disclosed to third parties
only for the purpose of completing your transaction with us
(for example, your credit card provider), providing the services
you have requested (for example booking into a training program)
and for the purposes of associated administration.
Maximus International Pty Ltd will also disclose personal
information when required by law and may disclose it when
reasonably necessary to assist an enforcement body or to lessen
or prevent a threat to individual or public health or safety.
