Privacy

In many of your dealings with Indive Analytics, you may choose to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym.  However, this may restrict our ability to effectively respond to your enquires and requests.  We will need to know your identity if:

(a)     it is impracticable for us to deal with you unless we can identify you; or

(b)     we are required or authorised by an Australian law or court/tribunal order, to only deal with identified individuals.

Personal Information means any information or opinion (that may not be true) about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is recorded in a material form or not.  Examples of personal information include your name, address, phone number, email or certain social media details.

Sensitive information is a subset of personal information that is afforded a higher level of privacy protection under the privacy laws.  It includes health information and personal information about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political, professional or trade association or trade union, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual preferences or criminal record.

Other than during the recruitment process, after an accident or in activities aimed at improving services for certain individuals, Indive Analytics generally does not collect sensitive information unless we are required or permitted by law to do so (for example by law enforcement agencies) or by you providing us with your consent.

Indive Analytics routinely collects the following types of personal information:

• Name, contact details and other information submitted to or obtained by us as part of customer complaints, feedback, or other communications (“Customer Service information”);
• Name, contact details, opinions and answers to questions or surveys, social media details as part of our marketing and competition activities (“Marketing Information”);
• Name, date of birth, contact details, professional memberships, criminal record, tax file numbers, bank account details and other information as part of the employee or contractor or consultant recruitment (“Recruitment Information”);

In addition, in the course of complying with legislation, responding to feedback and/or improving our customer services, Indive Analytics may collect sensitive information about an individual’s disability.

Some of the information we collect as described above may also be used for other purposes permitted by law.

If you provide us with personal information about another person, then we ask that you inform that person about this Privacy Policy.

Indive Analytics generally collects the kinds of personal information described above in the following ways:

(a)       Customer Service Information – including when:

• you contact one of our consultants directly and provide your personal information to them or other representative;
• you contact us and agree for your personal information to be provided to us for the purpose of responding to your complaint or feedback;
• you communicate with us via telephone, email, letter, surveys, subscription to initiatives and provide your personal information;
• you send written correspondence to our head office or other location;
• you post information on or directed to any of our social media platforms, including our Facebook page, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn or Twitter accounts;
• your authorised representative, a family member or other third party provides us with your personal information.

(b)       Marketing Information – when you or your authorised representative enter a competition or promotion on our website, or answer questions and provide information to our corporate affairs, marketing or other departmental representatives. 

(c)       Recruitment Information – during the recruitment process when we receive applications from individuals or deal with contractors or consultants, and from third parties (e.g. police background checks).

Indive Analytics ensures that the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete and relevant.  To help us do this, we ask that you please notify us of any changes to your personal information.  We will correct your personal information if we receive a correction request from you, or we are otherwise satisfied your personal information should be corrected.

We also protect your personal information and keep it secure. Personal information we collect is held in secure and restricted access systems.  Access to these systems or files is restricted to certain Indive Analytics employees who require access to properly perform their work functions.

We also take reasonable steps to protect and keep secure your personal information by:

• imposing access rights and restrictions;
• using confidentiality agreements;
• enforcing internal policies;
• utilising computer generated security tools such as firewalls and data encryption.

We cannot however guarantee that data transmission to or from us over the internet will be totally secure.

Subject to legal requirements, when we no longer require your personal information for any permitted purposes, we take reasonable steps to either destroy or de-identify your personal information.  For example, upon completing a marketing competition, all personal information is deleted from our files, with any relevant aggregated de-identified information retained for research and analysis purposes within or outside our business if needed.

Indive Analytics collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information for purposes that are reasonably necessary for our operations, activities and functions.  These purposes include:

• to undertake customer service functions including answering enquiries and complaints and improving our operational and customer service functions;
• to promote our business, provide information to customers, users and the public;
• to undertake research and development activities aimed at better understanding and improving our operations and services;
• to provide report and other information to, or respond to enquiries from, government departments;
• to investigate and take action in relation to suspected serious unlawful activity or misconduct and to prepare for and engage in dispute resolution activity including those arising from accidents or infringements and to deal with insurance agents;

• for enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body;
• as required or authorised by law; and
• for any other purpose for which your consent is obtained,  such as website competitions.

Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy or required by Australian law or court/tribunal order, Indive Analytics does not, in its normal course of business, disclose personal information to overseas recipients. Our systems that store and process personal information are located within Australia. 

Any information shared outside Indive Analytics is generally de-identified and aggregated. In the event that any personal information is disclosed outside of the business, Indive Analytics does so in accordance with its privacy obligations.

User data which helps us to improve the performance of an Indive Analytics mobile application is collected anonymously, with no data kept to identify a specific end user. Information that is retained, may include the model of mobile phone used to access an Indive Analytics mobile application and its current operating system.

While all data is kept on the servers of the respective social networks, there may be times where Indive Analytics will contact a user and ask them to voluntarily provide contact details for reasons including but not limited to answering customer feedback and sending competition prizes.

Any personal information collected in this manner by us will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and relevant law.

From time-to-time Indive Analytics may choose to use other forms of social media. The above principles will apply to such other forms of social media.
