  • records of our communications with you, including any messages you send us; and
  • device information, server log information, IP address, and location information.

Without this information, Transmax may not be able to provide you with our products or services (or with all of the features and functionality offered by our products or services), respond to queries or requests that you submit to us, or otherwise properly manage our relationship with you.

If you are a Transmax employee, we will also collect personal information that is necessary for us to manage your employment and meet our obligations in accordance with laws and agreed employment contracts.

In certain circumstances, Transmax may also collect sensitive information, such as health information. We will only collect sensitive information about you with your consent or if we are otherwise allowed or required by law to collect that information.

We may collect personal information about you in the following ways:

  • from third parties who are entitled to disclose that information to us; and
  • when you apply for a job with us.

Where we collect personal information from you, we will generally do so directly ourselves. However, in some cases we may collect personal information from a third party, such as through your representatives, your employer, contractors or suppliers who provide services to us, or third parties who refer you to us because they think you may be interested in our products or services. We will take reasonable steps to notify you of any information we collect about you.

3.3 Purposes for which we use personal information

Depending on the context in which it is collected, we use personal information that we collect about you for the following purposes:

  • the United States of America (USA).

We may also use and disclose your information for other purposes as authorised by you, or in accordance with your requests or instructions.

3.5 Quality of personal information

We take reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information that we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date. This includes promptly updating personal information when we are advised that the information has changed, checking our contact lists for accuracy, and providing individuals with a simple means to update their personal information. You should contact Transmax if you believe the personal information Transmax holds about you is not accurate, complete or up-to-date (refer to the ‘How to raise a concern’ section below).

3.6 Security of personal information

We store personal information for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law. We generally store the personal information that we collect in electronic databases, some of which may be held on our behalf by third party data storage providers. Sometimes we also keep hard copy records of this personal information in physical storage facilities. We use a range of physical and technical security processes and procedures to protect the confidentiality and security of the information that we hold, and we update these from time to time to address new and emerging security threats.

3.7 Access to, and correction of, your personal information

If you want to access any of the personal information that we hold about you or to correct some aspect of it (e.g. because you think it is incomplete or incorrect), please contact us. To protect the integrity and security of the information we hold, we may ask that you follow a defined access procedure, which may include steps to verify your identity. In certain cases we may charge you an administration fee for providing you with access to the information you have asked for, but we will inform you of this before proceeding. There may be cases where we are unable to provide the information you request, such as where it would interfere with the privacy of others or result in a breach of confidentiality. In these cases we will let you know why we cannot comply with your request.
