1) Objective

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to demonstrate how BK Capital Holdings Pty Ltd (‘BKC’) implements practices, procedures and systems that ensure it complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (‘APPs’) and provisions in the Privacy Act 1989 (Cth) (‘the Act’) in relation to our collection, use, holding and disclosure of personal information and sensitive information.

2) Personal information

Personal information refers to information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, regardless of whether it is true or recorded in a material form.

3) Sensitive information

Sensitive information is personal information regarding an individual’s race, political opinion and affiliations, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of professional or trade unions or associations, sexual orientation, or criminal record.

4) Collection of personal and sensitive information

BKC will not collect personal information unless the information is reasonably necessary for one or more of its functions and activities. Further, sensitive information may only be collected if it is necessary and the individual consents to the collection.

All collection of personal information must be by fair and lawful means. Whenever it is reasonable and practicable to do so, BKC will only collect personal information about an individual from that individual, and otherwise will take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is made aware of the required matters.

BKC may collect information about individuals’ visits to BKC-owned websites using automatic collection tools, such as “cookies”. We do this to monitor traffic patterns and serve individuals more efficiently if they revisit the sites. Such tools do not identify individuals personally, but they can provide information such as individuals’ browser type and language, access times, Internet Protocol addresses and behaviour (e.g. pages visited, links clicked).

5) Use and disclosure of personal information

By use of this website, you acknowledge that you are put on notice that BKC may collect personal information. BKC will never sell or rent personal
information collected by it to third parties for marketing purposes. Once the information is no longer of use to BKC, and if there is no legal requirement to retain it, all reasonable steps will be taken to either destroy or de-identify the information.

6) Quality of information

BKC will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that it collects, uses, and discloses is accurate, up to date and complete. We will also take steps to maintain and update that information when advised of incorrectness or change.

If an individual establishes that personal information which BKC holds about him/her is not accurate, complete, and up to date, BKC will take all reasonable steps to correct the information.

7) Security of information

We have an obligation to take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to protect any personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

8) Access to information

Individuals have a right to request access to their personal information and to request its correction by contacting BKC via the contact details provided on our website. On request by a person, BKC will take all reasonable steps to let the person know, generally, what sort of personal information it holds, for what purposes, and how it collects, holds, uses, and discloses that information.

 

9) Cross border disclosure of information

Our use of data cloud storage means that data may be stored overseas. Customer information may only be accessed by employees of BKC and will not be used for marketing purposes without specific prior permission. Should personal or sensitive information be transferred or disclosed to overseas entities, it is the obligation of the discloser to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the receiving entity abides by the APPs and the Act.

10) General

BKC reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, in accordance with relevant circumstances. If we do so, we will post the revised Privacy Policy here. We may also give notice by other means, such as a message on our website.
