information in order carry out business, practices and policies and
implement various programs relevant to employees, suppliers or
clients. In addition, johnmason.com.au may have limited
access to the client information of johnmason.com.au clients under outsourcing agreements.
johnmason.com.au endeavours to collect, use or disclose personal information only in
limited circumstances where necessary for the purposes of its
business. Apart from information concerning employees, johnmason.com.au
collects some limited personal information on
individuals it deals with, such as business contact details.
Use and
disclosure
We may use personal information we hold about people who are clients,
employees of clients, or contacts to send them our publications, other
information we think may interest them, or invitations to our events,
but we won't if they have told us that they don't want to receive such
communications.
Apart from that we will
only use the personal information we collect to provide the services
that our clients instruct us to provide in specific projects and
contracts.
We have a professional
duty to maintain the confidentiality of our clients' information, and
we will not disclose information about a client unless we have our
client's instructions, or are under a legal obligation, to do so.
We will disclose personal
information we collect in relation to specific matters when it is
necessary to do so to provide our services and the disclosure is in
accordance with our client's instructions and is lawful and ethical.
We never disclose personal
information we hold to any third parties to allow them to market their
products and services.
Others who may
have access to information
Sometimes we use external service providers who may have access to
some personal information we collect. For example, we use contractors
to distribute some of our publications, and to maintain and develop
our computer systems. These contactors are bound by obligations of
confidentiality and may only access information to the extent
necessary to provide the services we require.

to protect personal information from loss, unauthorised access, misuse

steps to ensure that personal privacy is respected, johnmason.com.au does not take responsibility for unauthorised access of
