6. Disclosure of your personal information to overseas recipients
In the course of providing you with our products and services, it is likely that we will disclose your personal information to overseas recipients.
Your personal information that we collect may be stored, processed and accessed in the Philippines, the United States and the United Kingdom.
By providing us with your personal information, you consent to the transfer of your personal information outside of Australia.
We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information will not be held, used or disclosed by the recipient inconsistently with the APPs.
7. Access to and correction of your personal information
We will allow you to access personal information we hold about you to the extent required under the APPs and the Privacy Act. You will be entitled to access that information on most occasions.
However, the APPs and the Act do set out some exceptions that may apply. If we refuse you access for any of those reasons we will let you know why at the time.
If you wish to obtain access to your personal information that we hold, you should contact us using the following details:
Owner
hi@yoonet.io
1/4 Margaret Street, Toowoomba QLD 4350
Once we have verified who you are, we will let you know what to do next. A fee may be involved for that access in certain circumstances.
Sometimes it can take some time to consider and act on your request for access depending upon what you seek access to, how and where it is stored and any related information or circumstances. However, we will generally respond to you within 30 days.
If personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you can ask us to correct it by contacting us as set out above.
We will take reasonable steps then to correct that information and otherwise to ensure that the information is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading.
If we have disclosed personal information about you that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you can ask us to notify the third parties to whom we made the disclosure and we will then take reasonable steps to do so unless it is impracticable or unlawful for us to do that.
Sometimes it can take some time to consider and act on your request for correction depending upon what you seek to correct, to whom we have disclosed it, any third parties involved and any related information or circumstances. However, we will generally be able to make any corrections within 30 – 60 days.
8. Complaints Process
If you wish to make a complaint about our handling of your personal information, you should first make that complaint to us in writing using the contact details set out above. You can also make complaints to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
When we receive your complaint, we will:
- within 14 days of receipt, review the nature of the complaint and seek to verify your identity; and
- if we determine that the complaint is a bona fide complaint (and not automated, for example), we will:
- respond to you acknowledging the complaint within 14 days;
- consider the complaint on its merits;
- seek legal or any other relevant advice if necessary;
- if we have taken longer than 30 days since first receipt, notify you of our progress;
- respond to you in relation to the merits of your claim as soon as possible, and we will endeavour to do that within 30 – 60 days of receipt of the complaint.
If the complaint cannot be resolved via the above process, or you are unsatisfied with our response, you can submit your complaint to the OAIC for their consideration. In fact, you can submit your complaint to the OAIC at any time, but they would normally ask you if you first attempted to resolve the matter with us, which is why we recommend the above steps first.
