Calxa understands that privacy is important, to our customers and to the other individuals that we have dealings with. Calxa is committed to compliance with the laws that protect your Personal Information, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the National Privacy Principles.

Our Privacy Policy (Privacy Policy) explains how your Personal Information is treated as you access and interact with these Websites. The practices outlined in this policy are subject to any rights or obligations we may have to handle Personal Information in accordance with the law.

We may update this Privacy Policy on the Websites, so we encourage you to check this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any information collected under this current Privacy Policy will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy. After the changes take effect, all new information collected, if any, will be subject to the revised Privacy Policy.

In addition to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, there may also be specific and additional privacy provisions that apply to certain sections of these Websites. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, we recommend that you review them wherever they appear. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Privacy Policy and those other specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.

Links to external websites

This Privacy Policy does not extend beyond these Websites. Linked websites are responsible for their own privacy practices, and we recommend that you read the privacy policy of such sites to familiarise yourself with their respective privacy practices.

 

Security

We have implemented appropriate measures to protect the security and integrity of your Personal Information. However, you should be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. So, while we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us online and you should do so at your own risk. Once any Personal Information comes into our possession, we will take reasonable steps to protect that information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. If you make an online financial transfer on these Websites, we take the additional step of using 128-bit encryption technology to protect the security of your Personal Information. Before using these facilities, you should confirm that you are using a web-browser that supports 128-bit encryption. In many web-browsers, you can confirm that your session is encrypted by the appearance of a locked padlock symbol on the foot of the browser.

 

Data breaches

There has never been any breach of security of our systems or loss of customer data. We will notify any affected customers as soon as is practical if we do ever discover a breach. If a breach involves personal information that is likely to result in serious harm, we have committed to notifying the Australian Information Commissioner of such a breach as soon as practical. Any serious breach affecting customers or your data will be notified at status.calxa.com.
