In addition, access to your personal information is limited to those who specifically need it to conduct their responsibilities.
34. We take all necessary steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal information where it is no longer required and to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and interference and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
35. While care is taken to protect your personal information, unfortunately no data transmission over the internet is guaranteed as 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you send to us or receive from us online. This is particularly true for information you send to us via email as we have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your personal information, we are required to protect it in accordance with the Act.

What if there is a breach in relation to my personal information?

36. We take breaches of your privacy very seriously. In the event that there is a data breach relating to personal information that we hold about you, such as loss of, unauthorised access to, or unauthorised disclosure of, the information (Data Breach), we will take immediate steps to contain and remedy any effects of the Data Breach in consultation with the RAB Board. Where required under the Act, we will notify both you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) of the Data Breach.

Maintaining your personal information

    1. the information that we collect about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date at the time of collection;
    2. when we use your personal information, it is accurate, up-to-date, complete and accurate at the time of use; and
    3. if we disclose your personal information, it is accurate, up-to-date, complete and accurate at the time of disclosure.
38. You warrant that all information that you provide to us is accurate, complete and up to date at the relevant time.

Will we disclose your personal information to anyone overseas?

39. There may be circumstances where we need to disclose your personal information to a third party located overseas (Overseas Recipient).  This may occur, for example, where we engage service providers located overseas and they require your personal information to assist us.   
40. Prior to disclosing your personal information to an Overseas Recipient, APP 8.1 requires that we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the third party recipient of your information complies with the APPs (other than APP 1) in relation to your information, or that the third party recipient is bound by laws that offer you at least as much protection as the APPs and that you are able to enforce your rights under those international laws in the event of any breach unless an exception applies (the Overseas Disclosure Obligations). 
41. We will take all reasonable steps to satisfy our Overseas Disclosure Obligations.

How can you access your personal information?

42. Usually we will be able to provide you with access to your personal information upon receipt of your written request, by email sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and confirmation of your identity.  There are some limited circumstances in which we may not be able to provide you with access to your personal information when requested. Such circumstances might include where access would pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of another person or where such access would unreasonably impact on the privacy of others.
43. Where you request access to your personal information, we will respond to any such request in accordance with the Act. 
44. We may recover from you our reasonable costs of supplying you with access to your personal information but we will not charge you for any request you might make to access your information.

How can you seek to correct your personal information?

45. We do what we can to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate, complete, up-to-date, relevant and not misleading. To assist us to do this, it is imperative that you provide us with correct information at the time you provide it to us and immediately inform us if any of the information changes at any time.  You may make a request that we correct any of your information. We would prefer your request to be in writing. This can be made by email sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
46. We will respond to any requests regarding the correction of your personal information within a reasonable period after the request is made and in accordance with the Act.
47. We will not charge you for any request to correct your personal information, nor will we pass on to you any costs incurred by us in correcting your personal information or for associating a statement with your personal information.

What if you want to make a complaint about some aspect of our privacy procedures?

48. We are committed to maintaining and protecting your privacy but it is possible that in limited circumstances, mistakes might be made.  If you are concerned with the way your personal information has been handled then you are entitled to make a complaint.  If you would like to lodge a complaint, please contact us by email sent to This email address is being protected from spambots.

51. Wherever it is practicable, we will always provide you with the option not to identify yourself when dealing with us.  Alternatively, you may elect to use a pseudonym to protect your identity. However, if you choose not to identify yourself or to use a pseudonym, it may be more difficult or impossible for us to assist you with your enquiry.  

Changes and exemptions to this policy

52. From time to time it may be necessary for us to review and revise this privacy policy. We reserve the right to change our privacy policy at any time, without providing any notice to you.
53. Please note that the Act contains certain exemptions which may permit us to use your personal information in a particular way if specific circumstances arise.  Any such exemptions under the Act will take priority over this privacy policy to the extent of any inconsistency.

How can you contact us?

54. Please find below our contact details.  Please do not hesitate to contact us in relation to any privacy-related concerns and we will use our best endeavours to address any such concerns thoroughly and in a timely manner.

55. If it is practical to do so, you can contact us without identifying yourself. However, if you choose not to identify yourself, it may be more difficult or impossible for us to assist you with your enquiry. This will depend on the nature of your enquiry.

Express consent to collection, storage, use and disclosure

56. In addition to the other consents provided by you above, by agreeing to accept the terms of this privacy policy, or by providing your personal information to us, or both, you are taken to have expressly consented to the collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information for each of the purposes and to all of the parties outlined in this privacy policy.

Additional information and rights for individuals located in the European Union

57. The GDPR has harmonised data privacy laws of each individual European Union country. Australian entities, including RAB, may also be required to comply with the GDPR if they offer services or products in the European Union, or if they monitor behaviour of individuals in the European Union.

This means that if you are located within the EU and are accessing the RAB Website or any of the services or products provided by RAB via the RAB Website, RAB is required to provide you with additional information about how we collect, use, share and store your personal information as well as advising you of your rights under the GDPR.

58. Any capitalised terms in this section of the privacy policy shall have the meaning given to that term in the GDPR.

What Personal Data do we collect?

67. RAB will keep your personal data submitted via web forms or emails for up to 10 years. Once this time period has expired, RAB will delete your Personal Data by removing any personal information held for longer than 10 years on an annual basis.
