Privacy policy

Kalgoorlie Nickel and its related entities are committed to ensuring that when we collect and use information provided to us we do so in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act.

In the course of our business there are circumstances where it is necessary for us to obtain information, which is of a personal, sensitive or confidential nature, from our clients and others (personal information). This policy is intended to ensure personal information is handled and stored in an appropriate manner.

In this policy:

• Privacy Act means the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)
• “personal information” and “sensitive information” have the meaning given in the Privacy Act

This policy applies to any person for whom we currently hold, or from whom we may in the future collect, personal information (you).

The policy does not apply to the records of current or past employees.

We may collect and store your personal information electronically or in hard copy (your personal information). Your personal information may include:

• your name, email address, telephone numbers and address
• personal Information, including sensitive information, which is provided to us by you or by a third party
• information about good or services which we order or supply
• information from enquiries made
• bank account or credit card information
• information contained in a CV if you apply for a position with us

We collect information from our shareholders, third parties, public records and other sources to enable us to perform our operations and activities and to provide our clients with information about those activities.

Examples of instances where we may collect personal information include:

• from shareholders for the purposes of us keeping proper records and for reporting purposes
• from individuals who enter into service or supply agreements, joint venture agreements or other transactions with us for the purpose of administering those agreements or transactions or for reporting purposes
• from individuals who apply for a position with us

We manage the personal information we collect by:

• providing our staff with training regarding privacy issues
• implementing procedures regarding the collection and handling of private information
• reviewing our compliance with our legal obligations regarding privacy
• implementing measures to keep the personal information we collect safe and secure, including using unique usernames and passwords on systems on which personal information is stored electronically
• appointing a Privacy Officer to administer and monitor our obligations and any complaints or applications regarding privacy matters

If you apply for a position with us you may need to provide us with personal information, including information regarding your education, employment and state of health. By submitting the application, you consent to us using the information to assess your application. We may also carry out screening checks and consider you for other positions. Without your personal information we may not be able to progress your application.

We will comply with our legal obligations at all times when dealing with your personal information.

In performing our activities it may be necessary for us to release your personal information to organisations or individuals with whom we conduct business and, where necessary, overseas recipients.

Such organisations and individuals include related entities, professional service providers, suppliers, health service providers, law enforcement agencies, government agencies, regulatory authorities, referees and your current and previous employers.

We will only disclose your personal information to others where that is necessary and appropriate, in your legal interests for us to do so or required by law

Other circumstances in which we will disclose your personal information include:

• If all or part of Kalgoorlie Nickel or a related entity is sold to or merged with another company
• To any third party that you have consented to having your personal information

We will only disclose your personal information to recipients located overseas where that is necessary and appropriate. You agree that we will not be required to take steps to ensure the overseas recipients do not breach the Privacy Act or the Australian Privacy Principles.

Unless you advise us in writing that you do not want us to do so, we may provide you with information from time to time about new activities and we may also send you information which we consider may be of interest to you.

We do not provide your personal information to others for marketing purposes.

If you send an email to us (including any emails sent to any of our staff email addresses) the information in your email, including any personal information, may be retained on our systems in accordance with applicable email retention policies and procedures.

While we do all we reasonably can to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including investing in security software, no data transfer over the Internet is 100% secure.
