“Personal information” is information or an opinion about an individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information or opinion. Personal information does not include information about an individual that is contained in a publicly available publication. Personal information, once it is contained in a publicly available publication, ceases to be covered by the Act.

The IDC will not collect any more information than is necessary for it to fulfil these functions, nor will the IDC disclose your personal information to anyone without your consent unless legally required to do so or except on a confidential basis to agents and contractors that we use in the ordinary operation of our business.

Anyone engaged to collect, store or use personal information for the IDC will be required to comply with the Information Protection Principles of the Act as part of their terms of engagement.

Normally we collect information voluntarily from the people concerned and they are under no obligation to provide it. However without certain information we may be unable to provide the services you are requesting.

The IDC takes all reasonable steps to protect the security of the personal information held, be it stored in electronic or hard copy format. Except in the circumstances set out in the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW), you may request access to your personal information held by the IDC.
