Privacy policy

Leadership Management Australasia is committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of its Private Training Establishment personnel and Participant records. Leadership Management Australasia complies with the Privacy Act 1993 including the 12 Privacy Principles.

Leadership Management Australasia manages personal information in an open and transparent way. The following sections of this policy outline how we may collect, store, use and disclose personal information in compliance with the Privacy Principles.

“Personal information” is any information about an individual (a living natural person) as long as that individual can be identified.

The Privacy Principles

Principle 1: Purpose of collection of personal information

Leadership Management Australasia does not collect personal information unless:

the collection is for a lawful purpose connected with a function or activity of Leadership Management Australasia collecting the information; and
it is necessary to collect the information for that purpose.

Principle 2: Source of personal information

Personal information is collected directly from the individual concerned.

The exceptions to this are when Leadership Management Australasia believes on reasonable grounds that:

the information is publicly available; or
the individual concerned authorises collection of the information from someone else; or
the interests of the individual concerned are not prejudiced; or
it is necessary for a public sector agency to collect the information to uphold or enforce the law, protect the tax base, or assist court or tribunal proceedings; or
complying with this principle would prejudice the purposes of collection; or
complying with this principle would not be reasonably practical in the particular case; or
the information will not be used in a form that identifies the individual; or
the Privacy Commissioner has authorised collection under section 54.

Principle 3: Collection of information

When Leadership Management Australasia collects personal information directly from the individual concerned, they will take reasonable steps to ensure the individual is aware of:

the fact that the information is being collected;
the purpose;
the intended recipients;
the names and addresses of who is collecting the information and who will hold it;
any specific law governing provision of the information and whether provision is voluntary or mandatory;
the consequences if all or any part of the requested information is not provided; and
the individual’s rights of access to and correction of personal information.

These steps will be taken before the information is collected or, if this is not practical, as soon as possible after the information is collected.

Leadership Management Australasia is not required to take these steps if they have already done so in relation to the same personal information, or information of the same kind, on a recent previous occasion.

It is also not necessary to comply with this principle if Leadership Management Australasia believes on reasonable grounds that:

collection is already authorised by the individual concerned; or
it is not prejudicing the interests of the individual concerned; or
it is necessary for a public sector agency to collect the information to uphold or enforce the law, protect the tax base, or assist court or tribunal proceedings; or
complying with this principle will prejudice the purposes of collection; or
complying with this principle is not reasonably practical in the particular case; or
the information will not be used in a form in which the individual concerned is identified.

Principle 4: Manner of collection of personal information

Personal information will not be collected by:

unlawful means; or
means that are unfair or intrude unreasonably on the personal affairs of the individual concerned.

Principle 5: Storage and security of personal information

When holding personal information Leadership Management Australasia will ensure that:

there are reasonable safeguards against loss, misuse or disclosure; and
if it is necessary to give information to another person, such as someone working on contract, everything reasonable is done to prevent unauthorised use or unauthorised disclosure of the information.

Principle 6: Access to personal information

Where personal information is held in a way that it can readily be retrieved, the individual concerned is entitled to:
