GreenShift Solutions values the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, hold, use, and disclose your personal information.

You do not have to provide us with your personal information. However, if you don’t, it may affect our ability to assist you or provide you with the information or service you are seeking.

We have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act). The APPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure, and dispose of your Personal Information. A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.oaic.gov.au

By providing us with your personal information, you agree to your personal information being collected, held, used, and disclosed as set out in this Privacy Policy.

What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?

Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of Personal Information we collect include your name, address, gender, and contact details (such as email address, phone, and facsimile numbers).

This Personal Information is obtained in many ways including face-to-face meetings, online surveys, interviews, correspondence, conversations, market research, by email, via our website www.greenshiftsolutions.com.au, from your organisation or other publicly available sources, and from third parties. We don’t guarantee website links or policies of authorised third parties.

We collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our services to our clients, as well as potential clients, suppliers, contractors, job applicants, and other contacts to understand and meet their needs, to conduct our activities and meet legal obligations.

We may also use your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. When we collect Personal Information we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.

Sensitive Information

Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about such things as an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record, or health information.

In the rare event that we collect sensitive information about you, it will be used by us only:

• For the primary purpose for which it was obtained

• For a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose

• With your consent; or where required or authorised by law.

Third Parties

Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your Personal Information only from you. However, in some circumstances, we may be provided with information by third parties. In such a case, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Your Personal Information may be disclosed in a limited number of circumstances including the following:

• Third parties where you consent to the use or disclosure; and

• Where required or authorised by law.

We do not sell or license your personal information to third parties.

Security of Personal Information

Your Personal Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. When your Personal Information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your Personal Information. However, most of the Personal Information is or will be stored in client files which will be kept by us for a minimum of seven (7) years.

Links from our website to other websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We do not operate these websites and therefore are not responsible for the collection or handling of personal information by the operators of these websites.

Access to your Personal Information

Under the APPs, you may be able to access the Personal Information we hold about you and to update and/or correct it, subject to certain exceptions. If you wish to access your Personal Information, please contact us in writing.

In order to protect your Personal Information, we will require you to verify your identity and specify what information you require before releasing the requested information. We may charge a fee to cover the cost of verifying the application and locating, retrieving, reviewing, and copying any material requested.

Maintaining the Quality of your Personal Information

It is important to us that your Personal Information is up to date. We will take reasonable steps to make sure that your Personal Information is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. If you find that the information we have is not up to date or is inaccurate, please advise us as soon as practicable so we can update our records and ensure we can continue to provide quality services to you.

Sending information overseas

GreenShift Solutions will not send your personal information to a recipient outside Australia without obtaining your consent or otherwise complying with the APPs.

Policy Updates

This Policy may change from time to time and is available on our website.
