Collection of Personal Information

To enable Rivervue to deliver the best possible service to its clients, customers and residents, hereinafter referred to as “customers”, it is necessary for Rivervue to collect personal information (i.e. information or an opinion that can identify a person) about potential and existing customers.  The type of personal information that is collected will be determined by nature of the relationship between Rivervue and its potential or actual customers.

This information may be obtained by way of telephone or Internet enquiries or forms filled out by such individuals, face-to-face meetings, interviews, telephone conversations or from a third party (for example, a reference).

At the time personal information is collected, Rivervue will take reasonable steps to inform its customers about the purpose for which the information is collected, the customers’ right to access the information and other matters contemplated in the Australian Privacy Principles regulating collection of personal information.

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

Rivervue is committed not to use or disclose personal information that it has collected, other than in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.  In particular, Rivervue’s policy is not to use or disclose personal information other than for the purpose for which it was collected or any reasonable secondary purpose.  It is Rivervue’s policy to obtain its customers’ consent before it uses information for a purpose or in a manner different to the purpose or manner that was disclosed to its customer.

Rivervue’s Marketing Activities

It is important for Rivervue to maintain contact with its customers and potential customers.  That contact may involve the sending of marketing material through the post or by email to existing and potential customers.  In these circumstances, it is Rivervue’s policy to comply with the stated purpose for which personal information was collected.  Rivervue’s existing and potential customers will always have the opportunity to decline to receive further marketing material.  If Rivervue receives such a request Rivervue will update its records appropriately, within a reasonable time.

Distribution of Information

Rivervue employs a number of contractors and subcontractors in the course of its business activities.  It is sometimes necessary for Rivervue to give its contractors and subcontractors access to personal information held about its customers.  In these circumstances, it is Rivervue’s policy to require the contractors or subcontractors who receive from Rivervue personal information about customers to comply with Rivervue’s privacy policy, which includes compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

It is Rivervue’s policy not to sell personal information about existing or potential customers to any organisation.

Rivervue will take reasonable steps to protect personal information that it collects and ensure that the information is accurate.  Secure Servers are used to store customer information which are protected in secure environments by passwords and security access IDs.  Rivervue employees are required to maintain the confidentiality of any personal information collected.

Rivervue will not store personal information longer than necessary. Where we no longer require any personal information that it holds, that personal information should be destroyed or have details which may identify individuals removed.

Rivervue also complies with the Notifiable Data Breach Scheme. Our obligation under the scheme is to mandatorily report eligible data breeches to the Australian Information Commissioner. In the event of an eligible data breach, Rivervue is committed to complying with any directions handed down from the Commissioner.

Access to and Changing Personal Information

Rivervue will, if requested to do so, give existing and potential customers copies of the personal information that Rivervue holds about them.  Before such information is released, Rivervue will require reasonable proof of identity from the enquiring person.
