USE OF INFORMATION
We will collect and maintain in our database certain personally identifiable information from you only when you provide it to us on a voluntary basis, for example, when you make an inquiry, contact us or establish an email account.
Your email address will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it, and it will not be added to a mailing list or used for any other purpose without your consent.
We will not share any information about you with third parties, except as provided by civil privacy legislation.
Please be aware that our website does not provide facilities for the secure transmission of information across the Internet, which is available from within our CDF Business Online banking facility.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
We may collect and hold a range of personal information about you to provide you or your employer with our services, including:
- Full Name
- Proof of address
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- Occupation
- Proof of ID (Australian Driving Licence or Australian Government-issued ID or International Passport)
How do we collect personal information?
We generally collect personal information directly from you. For example, personal information will be collected through our application processes, forms, and other interactions with you in the course of providing you with our products and services, including when you visit our website, call us, or send us correspondence. We may also collect personal information about you from a third party, such as electronic verification services. If so, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of this Privacy Policy. We may also use third parties to analyse traffic at our website, which may involve the use of cookies. Information collected through such analysis is anonymous.
We will not collect sensitive information about you without your consent unless an exemption in the APPs applies. These exceptions include if the collection is required or authorised by law, or necessary to take appropriate action in relation to suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct. If the personal information we request is not provided by you, we may not be able to provide you with the benefit of our services to meet you or your employers needs appropriately.
At CDF Canberra, we use the Document Verification Service (DVS) to verify a customer’s identity by confirming that the details on their identity document match the government’s records. The DVS can also confirm that the details are still valid and not expired or cancelled. We do not give you the option of dealing with us anonymously, or under a pseudonym. This is because it is impractical, and, in some circumstances, illegal for us to deal with individuals who are not identified.
YOUR CONSENT
By using our site, you are consenting to our Privacy Policy. We will review this Privacy Policy periodically, and if we ever change our Privacy Policy, we shall post any changes on this page so that you are always kept informed of the information we collect, how we use it and the circumstances under which we disclose it, if at all.
If you have any questions or comments about our Privacy Policy, please contact our Privacy Officer, GPO Box 3089, Canberra ACT 2601.
