Editure's Privacy Policy
The following statement
sets out Editure's policy relating to the collection, storage and use
of personal information. Our purpose is to assure anyone who does
business with us that Editure will comply with both the letter and
spirit of the Privacy Act 1988.
Compliance with Privacy Legislation
Editure
takes seriously its obligation to safeguard personal information about
its customers. This policy formalises and strengthens this commitment
to our customers. Editure complies with the National Privacy Principles
(NPPs) in the Privacy Act 1988.
Collection of Personal Information
Personal
information is generally defined as information or an opinion that can
identify a person. The type of personal information that Editure may
collect from you will depend upon what dealings you may have with
Editure, it's subsidiaries and/or divisions. For example, Editure may
require more information about you to open a credit account (e.g.
passwords and production of identification documents) than it may
require to enable you to enter a competition. We collect information
from you directly and from your use of our products and services.
Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
Editure
operates a number of businesses which handle personal information. In
general, our policy is that we only use or disclose personal
information for the purpose which was either specified or reasonably
apparent at the time we collected it. We may also use or disclose it
for any other related purpose for which you would reasonably expect it
to be used.
If Editure wishes to use or disclose the personal information in other circumstances it will obtain your consent to do so, other than in exceptional circumstances such as:
• Where Editure reasonably believes it is necessary to protect any person and/or Editure's rights or property;
or
•
The use is authorised by law or reasonably necessary to enforce the law
(for example, if Editure is required to disclose the information to
regulatory authorities or in response to subpoenas or warrants).
Sharing information with other organisations
Editure
will not sell your personal information to other companies. The only
circumstances in which external organisations may be given access to
your personal information are when our contractors and service
providers are helping us operate our business or provide a service to
you (for example, a company which helps maintain our computer systems
or sends out our mail). We require these organisations to agree to our
Privacy Policy and to strict conditions governing how this information
may be used.
Marketing
Editure will only send advertising mail to you if:
• You have indicated your consent to receive such mail; or
• Where the advertising mail is related to the purpose for which the information was collected, or
• If it would be within an individual's reasonable expectations to receive such mail.
Cookies
A

user (usually in the browser software folder) the first time a computer
visits a web site which operates cookies. Cookies are necessary to
facilitate online transactions and ensure security. If you do not wish
to receive any cookies you may set your browser to refuse cookies. This
may mean you will not be able to take full advantage of Editure's
services.
Security of personal information

will take reasonable steps to protect personal information it collects
and ensure it is accurate and up-to-date. Your information is held on
secure servers or in storage located in controlled environments.
Editure employees are required to maintain the confidentiality of any
personal information held by Editure.
Access to personal information

are welcome to request personal information Editure holds about them.
To obtain a copy of the information we have about you, please write to
us requesting your information and including your full name, address,
signature etc. A copy of your file will be made available within 30
days. We will inform you if a cost applies to finding the information
before we perform this task. Please address enquiries to Privacy
Officer, Editure, G.P.O. Box 1053, Darwin, NT 0801.

you wish to change personal information that is inaccurate or
out-of-date, you may write to the Privacy Officer at Editure and the
record will be changed.

its customers by posting an updated version of the policy on its
website.
