The Privacy Statement sets out how we collect and manage personal information, and
the steps we take to protect it.

How and why we collect information

In the course of providing our services, we collect personal information in a variety of
ways, For example, we collect information when you:
• Become a client or debtor of Bodycorp Pty Ltd,
• Enter into a rental agreement or lease,
• Make an enquiry about our services,
• Asked to be placed on one of our mailing lists,
• Apply for a job with us, or
• Visit our website.

Information provided by you

You provide most of the personal information directly to us and for a specific purpose.
For example, when you are prospective purchaser or vendor of real estate or request to
be placed on a mailing list, we collect your contact details so that we can provide you
with the information or advise you need.
When you apply for a job with us, we collect information about your qualifications and
we may ask you to undertake certain tests as part of our recruitment process. Similarly,
if you enter into a rental agreement, we may collect personal, employment and financial
information from you.

Information provided by third parties.

Our staff or other Bodycorp Pty Ltd offices may pass on your contact details so that we
can send you product or property information or ask you if you wish to be placed on one
of our mailing lists. Likewise, for marketing purposes, we may access various
databases in the public domain and obtain referrals from our existing clients.
If you apply to enter into a rental agreement or lease, you may be the subject of a credit
check conducted by an authorised credit agency.

Sensitive Information

We do not collect sensitive information such as your race, religion, beliefs or sexual
preference, except where you have consented or where we are permitted or required by
law to do so.

How we use the information we collect

We use the information primarily for the purpose for which it was collected. Because
most of our information is collected from you directly, you will normally be aware of the
purpose of the collection.

Use of the information for a secondary purpose

We may sometimes use the personal information we collect for a secondary purpose,
that is, for use in a way different form the original reason for collection. We will only do
this in the following circumstances:
• Where you have consented,
• Where the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose, and you
would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way, or
• Where we are permitted or required by law, or it is in the interests of public safety
to do so.

and contact details, we may use this information to conduct a credit check.

similar services that we provide. You are always provided with the opportunity to notify
us that you do not wish to receive this material.

prior consent. Similarly, we will not sell any information we collect about you.

information collected by one Bodycorp Pty Ltd office may be disclosed to another

How we protect our information collection

We will take all reasonable steps to protect the security of all personal information we
collect. This involves protecting it from misuse and loss, as well as from modification
and disclosure.
The electronic databases that hold information as well as our internal systems are
designed to restrict access to only those people who require specific information.
In addition, your personal information is only kept while it is required for the purpose for
which it was collected or for a permitted secondary purpose.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information which we
collect, use or disclose, is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

$1.00 per page, so we can obtain the information you require.

Correcting information

our commitment to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold is
accurate, complete and up-to-date.

Right to refuse access or correction

We reserve our right to refuse your request for access or correction if, for example we
consider your request to be frivolous or vexatious, or if we are legally entitled to do so.
If we refuse your request, we will give you our reasons. If we refuse your request to
correct information we hold about, we will give you the opportunity to post a statement
of your claim where we hold your personal information.
