Our Commitment
At Australasian Jet we recognise that your privacy
is very important to you - it is to Australasian
Jet as well. We handle personal information provided
by and about people every day. By "personal
information" we mean information or an opinion
about a person whose identity is apparent or can
reasonably be ascertained.
We are bound by, and committed to supporting, the
National Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy
Act 1988 as recently amended. This Statement does
not apply to employee records of any of Australasian
Jet's current or former employees.
You can obtain more information on request about
the way we manage the personal information we hold.
If you seek any further information please contact
us in one of the ways set out below.
Collection
In the course of providing aviation passenger, charter,
carriage of goods and maintenance services, Australasian
Jet may receive or have access to personal information
such as names, addresses of, and credit reference
material concerning, passengers, customers, aircraft
owners and interested members of the public.
The main purposes for collecting personal information
are to enable us to:
• manage our client relationships;arrange
the timely scheduling of services;
• assess whether to extend credit to you;
• direct accounting-related correspondence
to you;
• manage your account; and/or
• distribute information about services, products
and promotions of interest to you.
We will only collect personal information from or
about you that is necessary for one or more of our
functions and activities. We will only collect personal
information from or about you by lawful and fair
means, without being unreasonably intrusive, such
as when we complete one of our charter booking forms,
make a reservation over the telephone and the like.
At or before the time we collect personal information
from or about you we will take reasonable steps
in the circumstances to inform you why we are collecting
that personal information, who else we might disclose
that personal information to and what will happen
if you do not provide the personal information to
us. Where reasonable and practicable, we will only
collect personal information about you, from you.
Wherever it is lawful and practicable, we will
give you the option of not identifying yourself
or not providing personal information when entering
transactions with us. However, in most cases we
will be unable to extend credit to business associates,
and provide our services fully and properly, if
identifying personal information about you is not
received.
Once we hold personal information we can take reasonable
steps to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date.
Use and Disclosure
We will only use your personal information for the
main purposes it was needed for, except where you
consent to us using that personal information for
another purpose, or where the other purpose is related
to the main purpose and you would reasonably expect
us to use the personal information for that other
purpose.
In relation to direct marketing, where practicable
we will seek your consent before we use your personal
information for this purpose. You may tell us at
any time you do not wish to receive any further
direct marketing materials - if you do, we will
stop sending you such materials.
In order to fulfil the purposes set out above we
may provide access to your personal information
to third parties
• with whom we have a business relationship,
for example to:
• consultants who maintain and update our
IT system and database;
• contractors who assist with mail-outs;
• subcontractors who assist in maintenance
and/or repair of aircraft;
• credit reporting agencies and debt collection
agencies;
• business colleagues who seek trade references.
You accept that not all recipients of your information
may have privacy policies equivalent to Australasian
Jet's, but despite this you still consent to the
disclosure of your personal information for the
purposes we have stated above.
Access and Correction
If you ask, we will tell you what personal information
we hold about you, and what we do with it. In most
cases, unless an exception applies, we will facilitate
access to you in the most appropriate way following
receipt of your request. Any charge we make for
providing access will be reasonable. If we refuse
access we will advise you of our reasons for doing
so.
If you can show us that the personal information
is inaccurate, we will take reasonable steps to
correct it.
Security
We will take reasonable steps to protect personal
information from misuse and loss, and destroy or
permanently de-identify personal information we
no longer need.
Identifiers
We will not adopt as our own any identifiers that
you may provide to us such as TFNs, Medicare numbers
etc.
Sending Data Overseas, and Third Party Websites
We will not send any personal information about
you overseas unless you consent to this, or we reasonably
believe that the other country has privacy laws
substantially similar to our own.
Our website may contain links to other websites,
including the websites of our commercial partners.
When this occurs be sure to check the privacy policy
of those websites as we are not responsible for
privacy practices of those other parties.
Complaints Resolution
We are committed to providing all parties whose
personal information we hold a fair and responsible
system for the handling of their complaints.
If at any time you have any complaints in relation
to privacy, please contact our Privacy Officer at
one of the points referred to below. We will seek
to address any concerns that you have through our
complaints handling processes, but if you wish to
take matters further you may refer your concerns
to the Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner.
