IMC Communications will collect personal information in the process
of conducting business. This personal information may be obtained
directly from you, via another contact in your organisation or through
a third party who we believe has informed you that your details may be
provided to us. We will only store your personal details if they are
relevant to your organisation conducting business with us. We do not
normally obtain or store information that is deemed by the Privacy Act
to be "Sensitive Information".
We store personal information to ensure that we can maintain contact
with the organisations with which we do business. This contact may be
verbal, electronic or written. The reason for the contact may be to
inform, request assistance or to maintain a relationship. The
information we collect will only be that which is necessary for the
conduct of our business and our relationship with your organisation.
Information gathered by us in one instance may be used in another
instance unless you expressly request that we do not do so. However, we
will only use the information which we receive about you for the
purpose of doing business with your organisation or in connection with
that purpose.
Where practical, we will only collect information directly from you.
If we collect information from another source, we will do what is
reasonably possible to inform you that we have collected the
information. Your information is held either in paper-based records or
in electronic form in our databases. We take proper precautions to
ensure the security of that information. If your information is no
longer needed, we will either delete it from our systems or de-identify
it so that it cannot be attributed to you personally. We do not
normally disclose your personal information to anyone. If we intend to
do so, we will contact you before we do. We will take all reasonable
steps to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, and we will
put into effect any changes that you ask for.
If you wish to view the personal information that we have stored
please e-mail, fax or write to us. We will disclose your personal
information ONLY to be extracted and made available for viewing by you
at a IMC Communications branch office (Note: This will not included any
passwords or security relevant information). We will not mail or e-mail
your personal information document to you but we will notify you in a
timely manner when it is available for viewing at your nearest branch
office.
If, through a channel of contact, you are forwarded to another site
or organisation, IMC Communications is not responsible for the privacy
practices or content of that site or organisation. Our web site uses
