Privacy as the default
We build privacy into everything we do, from our daily work to the design of our systems.
We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles in all our business activities. Any third parties we work with must meet the same standard as us.
Care and diligence
We take privacy seriously and handle any requests or complaints with care and diligence. We also follow these practices:
We destroy personal information according to WGEA’s legislative framework and Australian Government data retention requirements.
We store personal information securely to protect it from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Respectful
We respect people’s privacy and rights in all areas of our work. We protect personal information entrusted to us. We clearly explain how we manage personal data, what rights people have, and how they can access their information.
Ethical
We act with honesty and fairness when handling personal information. We only collect, use, disclose and keep the minimum amount of personal data needed for a specific purpose.
