Syntric Privacy Policy
What to Read First
Our Principles
- This privacy policy sets out how we comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act to the extent that is legally possible. As an Australian based organisation, we are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act which regulate how organisations may collect, use, disclose and store personal information, and how individuals may access and correct personal information held about them.
- In this privacy policy, ‘personal information’ has the same meaning as defined by section 6 of the Privacy Act: information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion. Personal information may also include sensitive information about a person, which includes their health information.
- Please note that the APPs will not apply to employee records due to the ‘employee records exemption’. This means that the APPs will not apply to personal information collected in relation to your employment with Syntric Pty Ltd (although we will endeavour to maintain privacy as a matter of best practice).
