Access and Correction
Subject to certain exception s outlined in privacy law, you have the right to access your personal information that we hold. One key exception is if granting access would impact the privacy rights of other individuals. We may also refuse access if it would breach confidentiality.
Access policy
If you wish to access your personal information, please contact us and be prepared to verify your identity. We typically respond to access requests within 30 calendar days.
We may refuse a request in accordance with APP 12 if the requested information is not readily retrievable, does not exist, or cannot be found. If we refuse access, we will inform you of our decision.

We will take reasonable steps to correct that information to ensure that, considering the purpose for which it is held, the information is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant, and not misleading.
Here is a detailed guide on how to request a correction and what to expect during the process:
- Contact Us: Begin by reaching out to us through our designated contact channels, such as email or phone. Clearly state that you are requesting a correction of your personal information. Provide specific details about the inaccuracies and, if possible, include any supporting documentation that highlights the errors.
Example: “I am writing to request a correction to my personal information. My address listed on your records is outdated. The correct address is [provide the updated address]. I have attached a copy of my recent utility bill as proof.”
- Verification: Once we receive your request, we will verify your identity and the authenticity of your request to ensure that the corrections are legitimate and authorized. This step is crucial to protect your privacy and prevent unauthorized changes.
- Evaluation and Correction: We will evaluate the information provided and determine the necessary steps to correct it. This might involve updating our internal databases, contacting third parties, or making changes to relevant documents.
a. Rationale: Ensuring the information is correct and relevant is vital for accurate record-keeping and for any interactions or decisions based on this data.
- Verification to Third Parties: If the inaccurate information has been disclosed to third parties, you can request that we notify them of the correction. We will take reasonable steps to inform these third parties unless it is impracticable or unlawful to do so.
a. Example: If we shared your outdated address with a service provider, we will notify them of the updated address to prevent any future errors in communication or service delivery.
- Processing Time: Processing your correction request may take some time, especially if we need to contact third parties. Typically, we aim to correct your personal information within 30 calendar days. This timeframe allows us to thoroughly verify and update the information across all relevant platforms and records.
- Outcome and Documentation: After making the necessary corrections, we will inform you of the outcome. If, for any reason, we refuse to correct your information, you have the right to provide a statement specifying your disagreement with our decision. We will attach this statement to your record, ensuring that your perspective is documented.
a. Example: “We have updated your address as requested. If there are any further corrections needed, please let us know. If you disagree with any part of this decision, you may submit a statement for us to attach to your record.”
- Complaints: If you believe that we have mishandled your personal information or interfered with your privacy, you have the right to file a complaint. Refer to the complaints section below for detailed instructions on how to proceed.
a. Example: “If you have any concerns about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us directly. We take all complaints seriously and will work to resolve any issues promptly.”
