Cookies

We may place a cookie in the browser files of your computer. The cookie does not contain any personally identifying information. It will enable us to:

(a) relate your use of the site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided to us, such as a member password for any services we may provide via the Website, or

(b) allow your browser to track searches you have performed on the site.

Use of Personal Information

We will only use personal information when:

- you have authorized us to do so;

- we have given you notification of the intended use and you have not objected to that use;

- we believe that the use is reasonably necessary to assist a law enforcement agency or an agency responsible for national security in the performance of their function; or

- ASDI is authorized, required or permitted by law to disclose the information.

An exception is where you access a third party website from the ASDI Website. In that case, cookie information and information about your preferences or other information that you provide about yourself may be shared between the person hosting that third party website and the ASDI Website. Third party websites should contain their own privacy statements and those third parties are responsible for informing you about their own privacy practices.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Any personal information you provide to ASDI is strictly confidential. ASDI will not reveal, disclose, sell, distribute, rent, license, share or pass that information on to any third parties, other than those who are:

- related bodies corporate of ASDI;

- contracted to ASDI to keep the information confidential; or

- bound by a privacy policy which imposes similar restrictions to ASDI's privacy policy regarding the handling of personal information.

We may disclose the personal information, other information or data we collect from you for the purposes specified to you at the time of collection or for another purpose if:

- you would reasonably expect us to disclose it for that purpose; and

- that purpose is related to the purpose specified to you at the time of collection.

If we wish to disclose any of this personal information, information or data other than is set out above, we will not do so unless we have your express consent to do so. Exceptions to this include:

- where ASDI suspects that unlawful activity is or has been engaged in and uses the personal information, information or data to investigate the suspected unlawful activity; or

- the use is authorized by law or reasonably necessary to enforce the law. These uses may include where ASDI is required to provide
information in response to subpoenas or warrants or other legal process including requests from regulatory authorities.

Security of Your Information

ASDI will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete, up-to-date and stored in a secure environment accessed only by authorized persons. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.  While we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss or unauthorized access, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from on-line from us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we take reasonable steps to preserve the security of the information in our own system.

How to Access and Update Your Personal Information

Our goal is to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You can always access your personal information and content that you provide to us by contacting us. We will update the relevant information. Exceptions to this include:

- where providing access will pose an unreasonable impact on the privacy of an individual;

- your request for access is frivolous or vexatious;

- where the information relates to existing legal proceedings between ASDI and you and the information would not be discoverable in the process of those legal proceedings; or

- where providing access would be unlawful, may prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity, may prejudice enforcement of laws or denying access is specifically authorized by law.

If ASDI does not allow you to access your personal information, we will provide you with reasons for our decision. If you believe that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is inaccurate, incomplete or not up-to-date but ASDI does not agree with you, we will post a statement of your claim where the information is kept and accessed.

Changes to Privacy Policy

ASDI reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time by publishing the varied privacy policy on the ASDI Website. A revised privacy policy will only apply to data collected subsequent to its effective date. You accept that by doing this, ASDI has provided you with sufficient notice of the variation.
