This statement outlines Ninti One Limited’s (Ninti) policy on how Ninti uses and manages personal information provided to or collected by it.
Ninti is bound by Commonwealth Privacy Act 1998 and is compliant with the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012.
Ninti will review and update this Privacy Policy to take account of new laws and technology, changes to Ninti’s operations and practices and to make sure it remains appropriate to the changing legal environment.
The type of information Ninti collects and holds includes (but is not limited to) personal information, including sensitive information, about:
The type of personal information Ninti collects will depend on the nature of your dealings with us. For example, we may collect personal information from you when you:
Under the Privacy Act the Australian Privacy Principles do not apply to an employee record. As a result, this Privacy Policy does not apply to Ninti’s treatment of an employee record, where the treatment is directly related to a current or former employment relationship between Ninti and employee. For information about our practices relating to employee information, please contact us directly.
Ninti will use personal information it collects from you for the primary purpose of collection, and for such other secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose of collection and reasonably expected, or to which you have consented.
In relation to direct marketing, Ninti will use your personal information for direct marketing where you have provided that information and which will contain an opt out. We will always obtain your consent to use sensitive information as the basis for any of our direct marketing.
In relation to personal information of job applicants, staff members and contractors, Ninti’s primary purpose of collection is to assess and (if successful) to engage the applicant, staff member or contractor.
Where Ninti receives unsolicited job applications these will usually be dealt with in accordance with the unsolicited personal information requirements of the Privacy Act.
Ninti also obtains personal information about volunteers who assist Ninti in its functions or conduct associated activities, such as to enable Ninti and the volunteers to work together.
Ninti does not routinely disclose personal information to other organisations unless:

In referring to ‘sensitive information’, Ninti means:
“information relating to a person’s racial ethnic origin, political opinions, religion, trade union or other professional or trade association membership, sexual orientation or criminal record, that is also personal information; and health information about an individual”.
Sensitive information will be used and disclosed only for the purpose for which it was provided or a directly related secondary purpose, unless you agree otherwise, or the use or disclosure of the sensitive information is allowed by law.
Ninti’s staff are required to respect the confidentiality of personal information and the privacy of individuals.
Ninti has in place steps to protect the personal information Ninti holds from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, interference or disclosure by use of various methods including locked storage of paper records and passworded access rights to computerised records.
We will follow the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) data breach preparation and response guidelines in the event of a data breach.
