Yularatech Privacy Policy

Introduction

Yularatech and its related corporate bodies recognize the importance of protecting and respecting the privacy and rights of individuals in relation to their personal information.

About the Privacy Policy

This document is our privacy policy and it tells you how we in Australia and our worldwide operations collect and manage personal information of people who do not work for Yularatech.

Another document, Yularatech’s ‘Worker Information Privacy Policy’, deals with how we collect and manage the personal information of people who work for Yularatech.

What is file personal information?

Personal information has the meaning given to it in the Privacy Act. In general terms, it is any information that can be used to identify you personally. This may include your name, address, telephone number, email address and profession or occupation. If the information we collect personally identifies you or you are reasonably identifiable, it will be considered personal information.

Related Policies

This privacy policy does not apply to the handling of:

  • Personal information about Yularatech workers. For information relating to Yularatech’s practices relating to worker information, please see the Yularatech ‘Worker Information Privacy Policy’ which is posted on our intranet, or alternatively, contact Yularatech’s Privacy Officer at privacy@yularatech.com to obtain a copy of this and
  • Credit information held by us. For information about our practices relating to credit information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Yularatech’s Privacy Officer at privacy@yulartech.com to obtain a copy of the policy

How can you access and correct your personal information?

You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see contact details below).

When we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with a suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing it to you). Generally, we will not charge you a fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs in providing the information to you. However, where we anticipate that such costs may be considerable and where we have your prior consent to charge a pre-agreed fee, we may do so. We will not charge for simply making the request and will not charge for making any corrections to your personal information.

There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information about you we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If this happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal. If you believe that personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment, we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree.

What is the process for complaining about a breach of privacy?

If you believe that your privacy has been breached, please contact us using the contact information below and provide details of the incident so that we can investigate.

What happens if, contrary to the above policy statements, personal information is released?

If our investigations show a data breach, then we will:

  • Take steps to contain the breach and minimize resulting damage (e.g. recover the personal information or change access codes or passwords)
  • Evaluate the type of data involved in the breach and the associated risks of the breach and determine the next steps, such as, for example:
    • who is affected by the breach
    • what was the cause of the breach, and
    • what is the foreseeable harm to the affected individual/organization
  • Determine whether it is appropriate to notify and/or to apologise to the individual/organization affected to mitigate possible harm. Where the breach is serious, seek legal advice as to the appropriate course of action and/or notification to, for example, the Australian Information Commissioner and
  • Put into action preventative measures based on the type and seriousness of the breach.

Changes to our privacy policy

We operate in a dynamic business environment, and over time, aspects of our business may change as we respond to changing market conditions. This may require our policies to be reviewed and revised. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time. This policy was made on 30 June 2023 and is reviewed annually.
