The Crèche is committed to the protection of your personal information.
This Privacy Policy applies to The Crèche and its parent Technologies Integration Group Pty. Ltd. ABN 73 083 607 041 and its subsidiaries.
Our Privacy Statement contains the following important information:

• National Privacy Principles

• Collection of your personal information

• How we use and disclose your personal information

• How to access, correct or update your personal information

• How to contact us

• Internet privacy

The Crèche is bound by the National Privacy Principles ('NPPs') under the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1998 ('Privacy Act'). This statement explains how we handle personal information in accordance with the NPPs. The NPPs and this statement do not apply to The Crèche's practices directly related to records about current or former employees and their employment relationship with The Crèche.

The expression 'personal information' is used in this statement to refer to information or an opinion, in any form and whether true or not about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information.

The Crèche collects personal information so that it can conduct its business. The Crèche's business is the Intellectual Property consulting services area.

The Crèche collects a range of personal information about customers, prospective customers, agents, dealers, contractors, suppliers, service providers and employees. The types of personal information that The Crèche collects depends on how the interaction occurs. For example when you fill in an application form or send The Crèche correspondence and it may be collected when you visit this web site.

This information may include, but is not limited to, names and contact details, date of birth, place or work, credit history and other financial details.

When The Crèche collects personal information directly from you, it will take reasonable steps at or before the time of collection to ensure that the person supplying the information is aware of certain key matters, such as the purposes for which we are collecting the information, the organisations (or types of organisations) to which we would normally disclose information of that kind, the fact that you are able to access the information and how to contact it.

The personal information that is provided to The Crèche, is used to provide you with better service.

The Crèche will not sell, rent, trade or disclose your personal information without your consent unless required to do so by law or in the circumstances listed below. The Crèche will only use and disclose information for the purpose for which that information was given to it. We may use and disclose personal information about you for a purpose (the 'secondary purpose') other than the main purpose for which you gave us the information (the 'primary purpose') where:

The Crèche would be reasonably expected to use or disclose the personal information for a secondary purpose which is related to the primary purpose for which it collected the information (and directly related in the case of sensitive information);

The Crèche has been given the consent of the person to whom the information relates for the personal information to be used or disclosed for the secondary purpose.

Where there are reasonable grounds to believe that use or disclosure is necessary to prevent a threat to life or health;

Where The Crèche suspects that unlawful activity is or has been engaged in and we use or disclose the personal information to investigate the suspected unlawful activity; or

The use or disclosure is authorised by law or reasonably necessary to enforce the law.

The Crèche will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information it collects, uses or discloses is stored in a secure environment accessed only by authorized persons.

The Crèche will take reasonable steps to destroy personal information when it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or for legal requirements.

The Crèche will properly dispose of all paper files, letters and any other hard copy documents that contain personal information that is no longer required.

All information stored in electronic form that is no longer needed will be deleted from our systems. While The Crèche employs data encryption technology, users should be aware that there is a residual risk in transmitting any data electronically. This risk is inherent in all Internet dealings.

The Crèche will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all information it collects, uses or discloses is accurate, complete and up-to-date. Please contact us if your details change or if you believe the information we have about you is not accurate or complete.

The Crèche will, on request, provide you with reasonable opportunity to access your personal information and have it corrected or updated. A fee may apply to such access.

Exceptions to your access rights include:

• Where providing access will pose a serious threat to the life or health or any individual or pose an unreasonable impact on the privacy of an individual;
• Your request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
• Where the information relates to existing legal proceedings between The Crèche and you and the information would not be discoverable in the process of those legal proceedings; or
• Where providing access would be unlawful, may prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity, may prejudice enforcement of laws, or denying access is specifically authorised by law.

If you have an access request or if you have any questions or complaints about the manner in which your personal information has been collected or handled by us, please visit the Contact us page on this website.
