GI Asia Pacific Pty Ltd (GI Asia Pacific, we, us, our) is an Australian investment company and venture builder. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
This policy explains how we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information through our website at giasiapacific.com and in the course of our business, and how you can access, correct or complain about our handling of it.
This policy does not cover the websites or operations of the companies in our portfolio, each of which maintains its own privacy policy.
We collect only the information we reasonably need.
You do not need to provide personal information to browse this website. If you choose not to provide the information requested in our enquiry form, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry.
We do not collect sensitive information — including health information — through this website.
Under the Privacy Act, "sensitive information" includes health information, genetic and biometric information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation and criminal record. Sensitive information attracts higher protection and generally requires your consent before it can be collected.
GI Asia Pacific is not a health service provider and does not provide clinical services. Where we are engaged by a client operating in the health, biotechnology or medical technology sector, any handling of health information or other sensitive information is governed by a separate written engagement agreement, and is undertaken:
Please do not send us health information, patient data, clinical records or other sensitive information through the enquiry form or by unsecured email. If an engagement requires the exchange of such information, we will agree a secure method with you first.
We use personal information to:
We may occasionally send you information about our services where you have consented or where you would reasonably expect it given your enquiry. Every such message will identify us and include an unsubscribe facility, consistent with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
We may disclose personal information to:
Where we introduce you to a third party — for example a distributor, professional adviser or potential partner — we will do so only with your knowledge.
We treat the content of client and prospective client enquiries as confidential. Information you provide about your business, plans or commercial position is not shared outside GI Asia Pacific except as set out above or with your consent.
Some of our service providers store or process information outside Australia. In particular:
Before disclosing personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient handles it in a manner consistent with the APPs, or we obtain your consent.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These include access controls, encrypted transmission, reputable service providers and restricting access to those who need it.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. Information you send us by email or through our website is sent at your own risk.
We retain personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. When it is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.
If we suffer a data breach likely to result in serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by contacting us at the address below. We will respond within a reasonable period, normally 30 days. We may need to verify your identity. In limited circumstances permitted by the Privacy Act we may decline a request; if we do, we will explain why in writing.
Where lawful and practicable, you may deal with us anonymously or under a pseudonym. In most cases we will need your name and contact details in order to respond usefully.
If you believe we have breached the APPs, please contact us first. We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 business days and aim to resolve it within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, GPO Box 5218, Sydney NSW 2001 — 1300 363 992 — oaic.gov.au
