Privacy Policy

Privacy

First Pharma Pty Ltd are committed to respecting the personal information of any individuals who provide their personal information to us.

The Privacy Act

The Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) set out in the Privacy Act of 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) apply to, among other organisations, private sector organisations with an annual turnover of more than $3 million. We are bound by the APPs contained in the Privacy Act. The APPs provide guidelines for the collection, use, storage, security and disclosure of personal and sensitive information. Individuals have the right to know what, and have access to, personal information an organisation holds about them and to have personal information about them amended if incorrect.

Your Personal Information is Important to Us

We recognise that you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously.

Collecting Information About You

We will only collect personal information which is necessary for the purpose of conducting our business.

Using and Disclosing Your Personal Information

Any personal information you give us is used solely for the purpose for which it was given and will not be shared, sold, or given to any third parties, unless there is consent to the use or disclosure or where required or authorised under the exemptions set out in the Privacy Act, which may include emergency situations and assisting law enforcement agencies.

Quality of Personal Information

Our aim is to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date. Please contact us using the details provided below if the information you have provided us changes and we will use all reasonable efforts to correct the data.

Storage and Security of Your Personal Information

We take all reasonable steps to keep any personal information which we hold about you secure and protected from loss, misuse or unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. This is done through the practice of appropriate procedures relating to the storage of hard copy documents and electronic data.

Access to Personal Information

You can request access to any personal information that we hold about you at any time, provided that the information was collected by us after the 21st December 2001 (on which date the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 (Cth) extended the coverage of the Privacy Act to include private sector organisations). This is subject to some exceptions allowed by law. To request access please contact us using the details provided below. Depending on the complexity of your request, a small charge may be applicable.
