Privacy policy
By using this site, you agree to be bound by its terms. If you have any queries, please contact us. Protecting your privacy is important to us. We promise to respect and safeguard your personal information.
We shall try to ensure that your details are accurate and kept up-to-date. We set out below how we use this information.
Our privacy policy
We are covered by the Privacy Act 2020 and its Australian Privacy Principles, which set out standards for the collection, use, disclosure, and handling of personal information.
Personal information is essentially information or an opinion about a living individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information or opinion (e.g. a name and address).
Our Privacy Policy applies to any personal information we collect, use or disclose after 21 December 2001. It does not apply to our employee records.
How and why we collect personal information
We collect personal information either directly from the relevant individuals or indirectly from third parties. For example, an insured may not only provide us with information on themselves for the purpose of obtaining our services but also on other insured’s who they represent. We may also obtain personal information from past insurers, witnesses to claims, health care workers and publicly available sources etc.
How we use and disclose personal information
We do not use or disclose personal information for any purpose that is unrelated to our services and that you would not reasonably expect (except with your consent).
What we expect of you and third parties we deal with
When you provide us with personal information about other individuals, we rely on you to have made them aware that you will or may provide their information to us, the purposes we use it for, the types of third parties we disclose it to and how they can access it (as described in this document). If it is sensitive information, we rely on you to have obtained their consent to the above.
If you have not done either of these things, you must tell us before you provide the relevant information.
Security of your personal information
We endeavour to protect any personal information that we hold from misuse, and loss and to protect it from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure
Transfer of information overseas
We may transfer your personal information overseas, where it is necessary to provide our service. For example, we sometimes use the internet to collect and process information. In addition, some insurers or reinsurers are based overseas and we need to provide your personal information to them to arrange your cover. In most cases, we only do this with your consent.
Opting out
If we send you any information about services or products, or you do not want us to disclose your personal information to any other organisation (including related bodies corporate) you can opt-out by contacting our office. (Details below)
