Privacy Statement

This document declares the undertakings by Resicert in relation to its handling of Your Data.

Data Collection

Resicert undertakes to collect Your Data by means that are:

fair;

legal; and

transparent.

If you visit Resicert’s web-site, your web-browser automatically discloses, and Resicert’s web-server automatically logs, the following information: the date and time, the IP address from which you issued the request, the type of browser and operating system you are using, the URL of any page that referred you to the page, the URL you requested, and whether your request was successful. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.

Any additional data that you provide, e.g. in a web-form, may also be logged. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.

Any additional data that your web-browser automatically provides may also be logged. This will be the case, for example, if your browser has previously been requested to store data on your computer in ‘cookies’ and submits them each time you request a web-page within a particular domain (such as Resicert.com). This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.

If you disclose personal data to Resicert in conjunction with an identifier such as your name or your credit-card details, Resicert will collect Your Data. Moreover, any data that becomes available to Resicert through any of the means described in the preceding paragraphs may be able to be associated with that identifier, and hence become Your Data.

Resicert undertakes to collect Your Data from you and not from other parties unless it is unreasonable or impractical to do so.

Where Resicert collects Your Data from sources other than you, it undertakes:

to do so only by legal means;

to do so only with your Consent; and

to declare to you what sources it uses, and under what circumstances.

Resicert undertakes to declare the purpose of collection in a manner which is clear and meaningful, and to avoid vague, highly inclusive statements such as ‘to support our operations’.

For Clients of Resicert Inspection Services: To provide you with the Resicert Services if requested by you to do so and to store your job record in our database of completed property inspection records.

For enquiries regarding a Employment or License Opportunities: To assess your application for a Resicert license to determine whether you are a suitable candidate

training for staff in relation to privacy;

access control, to limit access to Your Data to those staff and contractors who have legitimate reasons to access it particularly in the case of sensitive data,

audit trails of accesses, including the identities of staff and contractors accessing the data;

clear communication of policies and sanctions.

Data Use

Use refers to the application of Your Data by any part of Resicert, or any staff-member or contractor of Resicert in the course of their work.

Resicert undertakes to use Your Data only for:

the purposes for which it was collected;

such other purposes as are subsequently agreed between Resicert and You;

such additional purposes as may be required by law. In these circumstances, Resicert will take any reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that the use has occurred, unless it is precluded from doing so by law; and

such additional purposes as are authorised by Australian law or a court/tribunal order..

Resicert undertakes to use Your Data only if it has demonstrable relevance to the particular use to which it is being put.

Resicert undertakes to use Your Data in such a manner as to take into account the possibility that it is not of sufficient quality for the purpose, e.g. because it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, or out-of-context.

Data Disclosure

Disclosure refers to making Your Data available to any party other than Resicert and You. The term disclosure may include many different conditions of data transfer, including selling, renting, trading, sharing and giving.

Resicert undertakes to disclose Your Data only under the following circumstances:

in the course of business being conducted between You and Resicert, where disclosure is necessary to a contractor to fulfil Resicert’s obligations to you. Where Your Data is disclosed in this way, Resicert undertakes to exercise control over Resicert’s contractors to ensure that their actions are compliant with these Terms and the Australian Privacy Principles;

in other circumstances that are directly implied by the purpose agreed between You and Resicert at the time of data collection or subsequently. Where Your Data is disclosed in this way, Resicert undertakes to exercise control over Resicert’s contractors to ensure that their actions are compliant with these Terms and the Australian Privacy Principles;

with your consent, or at your request;

where required by law,

where permitted by law (e.g. the reporting of suspected breach of the criminal law to a law enforcement agency; and in an emergency, where Resicert believes on reasonable grounds that the disclosure of Your Data will materially assist in the protection of the life or health of some person), provided that Resicert will apply due diligence to ensure that the exercise of the permission is justifiable.

to retain Your Data only as long as is consistent with its purpose; and

to destroy Your Data when its purpose has expired, and to do so in such a manner that Your Data is not subsequently capable of being recovered.

This undertaking is qualified as follows:

Your Data may be retained in Resicert’s logs, backups and audit trails within short-term retention cycles that are devised to protect the company’s operations. In such cases, Your Data will be destroyed in accordance with those cycles;

In these circumstances, Resicert will take any reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that Your Data is being retained, unless it is precluded from doing so by law and will only retain Your Data while that provision is current, and will then destroy Your Data;

Your Data may be retained beyond the expiry of its purpose if it is authorised by Australian law or Court/Tribunal order. In these circumstances, Resicert will only retain Your Data while that situation is current, and will then destroy Your Data.

conveniently;

without unreasonable delay; and

without cost.

Resicert undertakes to establish and operate identity authentication protections for access to Your Data that are appropriate to its sensitivity, but practical. This may involve some inconvenience; for example, relatively straightforward procedures may be involved in order to provide you with access through a channel that you have previously registered with Resicert (such as a particular email-address), but may impose more onerous procedures if you wish to use some other channel.

In the event that you dispute some aspect of Your Data, Resicert undertakes to take reasonable steps in relation to the amendment, supplementation or deletion of Your Data.

You undertake:

not to seek access for frivolous purposes, or unreasonably frequently; and

to accept that deletion of some data may not be consistent with the provision of particular services by Resicert to you.

Changes to These Privacy Undertakings

Resicert undertakes:

not to materially change these Terms in a manner that reduces the protections for Your Data;

to take all possible steps to prevent any company that acquires Resicert or any of its relevant assets from materially changing the Terms applicable to Your Data in a manner that reduces the protections for Your Data;

where it is considering making changes to these Terms, or creating more specific Terms relating to specific services, to consult with appropriate representative and advocacy organisations;
