HOW RITTER SYSTEMS STORES AND PROTECTS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Ritter Systems stores personal information in a combination of computer storage facilities, paper-based files and other records. In so doing, we have taken numerous steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Additionally, Ritter Systems takes reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information when we no longer need it.

The internet is not a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, other than where Ritter Systems uses secure socket layer technology (SSL) to ensure information (such as credit card information) is securely transmitted and processed, Ritter Systems cannot and does not accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the internet, or for any unauthorised access or use of that information.

DOES RITTER SYSTEMS SEND PERSONAL INFORMATION OVERSEAS?

Ritter Systems is likely to disclose some of your personal information, for the purposes described above, to organisations in other countries, including the United States of America.

Some of these countries may not have the same or substantially similar privacy laws as those set out in this privacy policy and the Australian Privacy Principles. We may not require organisations to which we disclose personal information in those countries to comply with similar privacy laws, and accordingly, your personal information may not receive the same protections that it would in Australia. By providing your personal information to us, you consent to our disclosure of your personal information to organisations in those countries even though it may not receive the same protections that it would in Australia.

HOW YOU CAN ACCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Ritter Systems will take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up to date. If your personal details change, such as your address or phone number, please contact our Privacy Officer by email or at the address detailed below.

At your request, Ritter Systems will provide you with a copy of any personal information which we hold about you, unless an exception under the Privacy Act 1988 applies. We may charge a fee for retrieving this information, in which case we will inform you of the fee and obtain your agreement to that fee before providing the information.

We will promptly acknowledge and investigate any complaint about the way we manage personal information.
