Privacy Policy
This policy sets out how TAPC uses your personal information and explains:
TAPC may, from time to time, review and update this privacy policy statement to take account of new laws and technology and changes to
TAPC's operations. All personal information held by TAPC will be governed by its most recent policy, posted on
www.tapc.com.au..
TAPC collects personal information from a variety of sources, including from members of the public,
customers, prospective customers, suppliers, contractors and business partners.
In general, the personal information TAPC collects includes (but is not limited to) name, address, contact details, gender, occupation,
company, industry type and, where relevant, financial information, including credit card information,
and banking details.
Personal Information you provide: We store the personal information you enter on
www.tapc.com.au or give to TAPC in other ways. We obtain most personal information through
TAPC direct contact and updates to membership details. You may provide information when you request or acquire a product or service from TAPC,
supply a product or service to TAPC, complete a survey or questionnaire, enter a competition, participate in forums or when you communicate with
TAPC by e-mail, telephone or in writing.
Automatic collection: Cookies: We may use a feature of your browser called a cookie to assign your computer a 'User ID'. Cookies do not contain information by which
TAPC can identify you. They identify your computer to our servers. You may configure your browser so that you are notified before a cookie is downloaded or so that your browser does not accept cookies.
TAPC may use information contained in cookies to make assumptions about the user of the computer and to provide users of that computer with focused advertising that
TAPC believes may be of interest, based on that information.
To disable your cookies, please refer to the help menu within your Internet browser.
Indirect collection: TAPC endeavours to collect personal information about an individual only from that individual. In some circumstances
TAPC may obtain personal information from a third party. If you provide personal information about another person to
TAPC, TAPC requires that you inform that person you have done so and provide them with a copy of this policy.
TAPC may use information it collects from you for the primary purpose for which it is collected and for such other secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose of collection.
TAPC generally uses personal information to:
- provide you with products and/or services you have requested
- personalise and customise your experiences on TAPC
- help TAPC manage and enhance its services
- communicate with you
- provide you with ongoing information about TAPC products and services in which TAPC
believes you may be interested
- give you the opportunity from time to time to receive e-mail and 'e-newsletters'
from TAPC
In most cases where TAPC asks you to provide information about yourself, if you do not provide
TAPC with that information, TAPC will not be able to provide you with the requested product or service.
TAPC may disclose personal information to other companies in the BHA Group that may only use it as set out above.
TAPC may also provide your information to:
- third parties engaged by TAPC to perform functions on its behalf, such as processing credit card information, mailouts,
debt collection, marketing, research and advertising
- third parties authorised by you to receive information held by TAPC
TAPC may share web site usage information about visitors to TAPC who have received a targeted promotional e-mail campaign, with
BHA Group for the purpose of targeting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics. For this purpose, TAPC and
BHA will keep information on the email campaign and some of the pages you visit on TAPC
through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs).
"Sensitive Information" means information relating to a person's racial or ethnic origin, membership of political bodies, religion, membership of a trade union or professional or trade association, sexual preferences, criminal record and health.
TAPC may use and disclose Sensitive Information only for the purpose for which it was provided or a directly related secondary purpose or as allowed by law unless you have agreed otherwise.
Management and security of personal information.
TAPC has appointed a Privacy Officer to oversee the management of personal information in accordance with this policy and the Commonwealth Privacy Act.
TAPC protects the personal information TAPC holds from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure by various means including firewalls, pass word access, secure servers and encryption of credit card transactions.
Updating personal information
TAPC endeavours to ensure that the personal information it holds is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You can update your
TAPC membership information via the 'Update your details' section on
www.tapc.com.au.
You can generally update personal information that is not membership information on the website of
TAPC where you submitted that information. Where personal information is no longer required by
TAPC, it will be destroyed or de-identified.
Seeking access to the personal information TAPC holds about you
You have the right to seek access the personal information held about you and to advise
TAPC of any inaccuracy. There are some exceptions to this right set out in the Privacy Act.
If you make an access request, TAPC will ask you to verify your identity and specify what information you require.
TAPC may charge a fee to cover the costs of meeting your request.

TAPC holds about them at any time via the 'Change Details? section on
