Privacy Policy

Rock Academy Pty Ltd aims to comply with the Information Privacy Act 2000 as well as the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988 and to implement practices and procedures to ensure compliance. At Rock Academy we respect the privacy rights of individuals (our staff, clients and participants) to security, privacy and service in regard to the personal information they supply to us. We will observe the following principles:

 

Collection of information

We are required to collect information to enable us to register and mentor participants.

We will only collect information that is relevant. Information that is collected will be held securely to prevent any security breaches. Information that is collected will be processed in order to meet the individual needs of our staff, clients and participants.

 

Use and Disclosure

We will not divulge any personal or health information to a third party for any reason other than the primary purpose for its collection or for purposes specified in our privacy notice or with the consent of the individual or as required by law. At Rock Academy Melbourne we value our staff, clients and participants and will respect the privacy of their personal information.

 

Data Quality

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure the information that is collected is complete, accurate and current.

If a staff member, client or participant wishes to access or up date their personal or health information we will provide all reasonable assistance with this.

 

Data Security

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that information is protected from misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. All information not required will be destroyed in accordance with privacy legislation or as required by other legislation or as required under guidance from the Public Records Office.

 

Openness

We will take all reasonable steps to provide our staff, clients and participants with details of their personal information being held upon request. We will advise them of the type of information we possess, the purpose for it being held, the method of collection, use and disclosure of the information as well as their rights to access and amend this information.


Access and Correction

In most circumstances we will give staff, clients and participants access to their personal information upon request. All requested information will be provided within 14 days from receipt of the request. All information that is not accurate will be amended within 5 days of receiving a written request to do so.


We seek to have accurate records so information needed to update these records such as current contact details will be made on request.
