The Council of Law Reporting for New South Wales ('the Council') takes the issue of personal privacy seriously.
This privacy policy applies to any personal information that may be collected by the Council or provided, including (but not limited to) personal information disclosed as a result of association with the Council.
The privacy policy has been published to provide a clear and concise outline of how and when personal information is collected, stored and used by the Council.
The Council does not generally collect personal identifying information about subscribers except when the information is provided voluntarily and in accordance with our various application forms. Once personal information is provided, it will only be used so that the Council can forward information. In other words all collected information will be used solely for the purpose to which it has been consented. Such information will not be transferred to other parties unless the subscriber is fully informed prior to such transference and agreement has been made for such transference, unless we are required by law to transfer the information to an authorised organisation.
The above only relates to personal information and does not relate to any aggregated or other information that may be developed or created internally by the Council, provided this other information does not identify the subscriber in any way whatsoever and therefore maintains our privacy commitment.
Unless the Council has been advised not to do so, personal information will only be used to provide the services that have been requested.
It is the goal of the Council to only use the information provided in a manner that better provides the Council's services.
In particular, the Council undertakes not to sell, rent or trade personal information. The Council will not disclose information unless the disclosure is:
(a) required by law (e.g. the Australian Taxation Office);
(b) is authorised by law (e.g. to protect the Council's interests or where the Council has a duty to make such disclosure); or
(c) consent has been obtained to disclose the information.
It is the goal of the Council to ensure that personal information is correct, accurate, relevant, timely and secure. In order for the Council to meet this goal it must be advised of any change to details which have been provided so that the Council can continue to provide the services that have been agreed. Further, it if comes to the attention of the subscriber that the Council possesses certain information that is not correct, accurate, complete or up-to-date, then contact the Council and it will use all reasonable efforts to correct the information. Proof of identity may be required before changing personal records.
The Council endeavours to keep secure all personal information about its subscribers and take all reasonable precautions to protect that information against any loss, misuse or alteration.
If a subscriber requests the Council to provide access to personal information held about them, such information will be provided in a timely manner. Proof of identity may be required before permitting access to such personal records.
The Council reserves the right to make changes to its privacy policy from time to time for any reason. It will accordingly make those changes and display those changes on its website.
