Privacy Policy

Accsys Consulting is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in Schedule 1 of that Act. The APPs govern how we can handle and manage “personal information”, including “sensitive information”, about our clients, or other persons who have business with the firm and employees.

The Act defines “personal information” as information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether true or not, and whether recorded in material form or not. Some personal information is also “sensitive information” and is afforded a greater level of protection under the Act.

This privacy policy has been developed in accordance with APP 1 and provides information about how Accsys Consulting handles personal information, including sensitive information.

Collection of information

We collect information about you that is reasonably necessary for us to carry out our functions and activities, being financial management and information technology consulting services for public and private sector organisations.

Types of personal information we may collect and hold include:

  • client and supplier details, including name, address and contact details;

  • client customer files, such as financial information or loan applications; and
  • sensitive information, including information in client files regarding racial or ethnic origin, political opinions/affiliations and membership of a professional or trade association or trade union.

We may collect this information from you directly, or from other third parties (such as private businesses, not-for-profit organisations or government agencies that we have contracts with) where you consent, where it is unreasonable or impractical to collect the information from you directly, or where we are required or authorised to do so by law.

Given the nature of the work we do, we may come into contact with personal information held in our clients’ systems. We will not handle, use or disclose this information unless it is reasonably necessary for us to perform our duties.

Privacy, information security and client confidentiality are important to us and we take care to handle all information, including client files, with care and in confidence. Where possible, we do not store client data on our personal computers, but if it is necessary to do so then appropriate IT security measures are employed. Any client data that we come into contact with is kept secure and disposed of through our secure document destruction service if no longer required.

Using and disclosing information

In general, we collect your personal information in order to deliver our services and managing our business, including:

For the purposes set out above, we may disclose your personal information to third parties from time to time under instruction from our clients (e.g. to auditors). We may also disclose information about our employees to the Australian Taxation Office and to superannuation funds as required or authorised by law.

We use and disclose personal information for the purpose(s) for which it is collected. We will only use personal information for secondary purposes where we are permitted to do so in accordance with the Act. For example: where you have consented, for a reasonable expected secondary purpose related to the primary purpose, or where it is required or authorised by law.

Managing Information and Complaints
