Privacy Statement
Purpose
The purpose of this privacy statement is to let users know when we collect personal information and what we do with it. We do not use, share or disclose personal information collected or received through this website except as set out in this statement.
Collection, storage and use
You can search this site without disclosing any personal information.
Voluntary disclosure of personal information
You may choose to voluntarily provide personal information through this website (e.g. in comments, questions or feedback). This information will be viewable by site administrators, Registry staff (as appropriate) and sometimes third-party contractors who administrate or work on the site.
Collection of Personal Information
The Registry may ask or require you (including where required by legislation administered) to provide some personal information when you complete an online form (e.g. by submitting information to the Registrar through an online service). If you choose not to provide information where it is required, you may not be entitled to the service or benefit offered or could be in breach of statutory obligations.
Holding of information
When you provide personal information, it will be administered by the Registry. It may be stored or accessed on behalf of the Registry by authorised third parties (such as third-party contractors located on-shore or off-shore) to the extent that is necessary, for example for them to administrate or work on the site, and it may be displayed to the public in accordance with law and regulations.
Disclosure of information
The Registry will generally not share personal information that is provided or collected through this website, unless it is necessary to do so for the purpose for which you gave us the information or where you consent. The Registry will not otherwise disclose personal information provided or collected through this website unless required or otherwise permitted by law.
Use of information
We will generally only use personal information provided to us through this website for the purpose you provided it (e.g. to effectuate a filing, to administer, evaluate and improve the site, to improve our services and to action or respond to the information provided). We may also use personal information provided to us through this website for other reasons permitted under law or where the law requires it.
Records and retention of personal information
The Registry will only retain personal information as long as it is required for the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used.
Public records
Where any information provided (which may include personal information) to or through this site constitute public records, it will be retained to the extent required by law.
Registered users
When you become a registered user of this website, personal information will be collected from you. This information is collected for three purposes:
- for the management of your account with us;
- to confirm your identity; and
- for determining the usage of this website.
If you do not provide the information requested when you attempt to register, you cannot become a registered user of this website.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- find out from us whether we hold personal information about you;
- access that information; and, if applicable
- request corrections to that information.
If the Registry has a good reason for refusing a request for correction, you are entitled to request that a statement be attached to the information of the correction that was sought but not made.
