Privacy Policy
This following document sets forth the Privacy Policy for the LAWD website, http://www.lawd.com.au
LAWD is committed to providing you with the best possible customer service experience. LAWD is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals in the Australian Privacy Principles (APP).
What information do we collect?
There are many aspects of the site which can be viewed without providing personal information, however, for access to future LAWD customer support features you are required to submit personally identifiable information. This may include but not be limited to:
- a unique username and password, or the provision of sensitive information in the recovery of your lost password;
- your name, email address, phone number and/or mailing address, when you contact LAWD through our website contact forms;
- your Curriculum Vitae/Resume, when you provide this through our website forms;
- Cookies, including:
- your browser type, version and language;
- your operating system;
- pages viewed while browsing the Site, page access times and referring website address.
General users of the website do not need to disclose their identity to us in order to use this website. This website does not, therefore, collect personal information about people who generally access it except in the circumstances described above.
Why do we collect this information?
This collected information is used solely internally for the purpose of gauging visitor traffic, trends and delivering personalized content to you while you are using this Site.
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will use this information for these new purposes only. Data collected from the time of the policy change forward will adhere to our updated practices.
Sharing of your personal information
We will use and disclose personal information only for the purposes for which it is collected in accordance with the Act, including:
- providing services and customer support, including service updates;
- maintaining and updating our records;
- comparing information for accuracy, and verifying it with third parties; and
- providing information as authorised or required by law or a relevant government body or authority.
Information security
We take reasonable steps to protect all information which we hold (including personal information) from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
We may store information about you in cloud or other types of networked or electronic storage. As electronic or networked storage can be accessed from various countries through an internet connection it is not always practical to know in which country personal information about you may be held.
Where appropriate, we use secure transmission facilities. However, no transmission of information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure and we do not warrant the security of any information transmitted to us over the internet.
Links to other websites
This website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those websites. This Privacy Policy does not extend to those linked websites.
Marketing and opt-out
We may also use the information, including personal information (excluding sensitive information), provided by users of this website for marketing and research purposes, to analyse and improve products, benefits and services and to inform users of products, services and benefits provided by us, our related entities, suppliers or sponsors which we consider may be of value or interest to users, unless the user tells us, or has previously told us, not to. If a user does not wish to receive any information about such products, services and benefits they can contact the Privacy Officer (details specified below). We will not use your sensitive information for these purposes without your consent.
Accessing your Personal Information
Users of the website whose information we either collect, use or disclose have the right to request access to any personal information held by us which relates to them, unless we are permitted to withhold that information. We may charge a reasonable fee where access to personal information is provided. Any requests for access to a user’s personal information should be made in writing to the Privacy Officer (details specified below). The user also has the right to request the correction of any personal information which relates to them that is inaccurate, incomplete, irrelevant, misleading or out-of-date.
If the user requires any further information about our management of personal information or has any queries or complaints, they should contact:
