What kinds of personal information does RSGx collect and store?
Personal information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual or from which an identity can be reasonably ascertained whether recorded in a material form.
Generally, the types of personal information RSGx collects include name, or business name, contact details, identification information such as gender, date of birth, telephone numbers, email address, postcode, title, information in forms submitted to RSGx, including details of medical conditions and health information and payment details, including banking and credit card details.
The other types of personal information that RSGx collects depend on the nature of the interactions with RSGx. For example, RSGx may also collect and hold information about:
Sensitive information is any personal information that includes information or an opinion about an individual’s:
RSGx does not normally collect, use, or disclose sensitive information about an individual but if RSGx does, it will be done so in accordance with law.
Personal information may be collected verbally, in writing, by telephone, by email and through RSGx’s website and/or databases.
RSGx normally collects personal information directly from the individual to whom it relates, except where it is not reasonably practical to do so. In some cases, RSGx collects personal information from third parties.
RSGx only collects sensitive information directly from individuals with their consent, or where required, it is authorised or otherwise permitted to collect the information from a third party by law.
Personal information may also be collected from, and disclosed to, third parties during business activities. For example, during a recruitment process, steps may be taken to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information and, in appropriate circumstances, health checks, credit checks or criminal records checks may be carried out.
An individual has the option, where lawful and practicable, not to be identified when communicating or entering transactions with RSGx (including using a pseudonym). RSGx may be unable to do business with an individual or provide the services required by an individual unless personal information is provided.
Personal information may be used for various purposes connected with RSGx’s business, depending on the circumstances for which it is collected. This includes but is not limited to the following:
RSGx is committed to safeguarding all personal information that is provided to it. RSGx maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, and loss or corruption by computer viruses. Importantly, RSGx restricts access to a limited number of employees who require access to perform their duties or fulfil RSGx’s functions.
RSGx takes reasonable steps to protect the security of the personal information we hold, such as:
RSGx may share personal information with people and organisations that help RSGx with its business, such as IT support, professional advisors, and corporate and administrative services. Personal information may be processed by employees or third parties operating outside of Australia. When RSGx does this, it takes steps to ensure that its service providers are required to protect your personal information, including complying with the Act.
This policy will be reviewed from time to time to take account of new laws and changes to the operations and practices of RSGx. Updated versions of this policy will be published on the RSGx website.
If an individual has a query, concern, or complaint regarding the way in which personal information is handled or believes that RSGx has breached its obligations under the Act or has failed to comply with this policy, they should make a complaint to the Privacy Officer via email or in writing by post. A written response will be provided by RSGx at the end of the investigation.
RSGx has appointed the Head of Legal and Contracts as the ‘Privacy Officer’. The Privacy Officer is the primary point of contact for privacy matters.
