DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in accordance with this Policy in circumstances

Where we disclose your personal information to third parties overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that data security and appropriate privacy practices are maintained. We will only disclose to overseas third parties if:

 

  • you have given us your consent to disclose personal information to that third party; or

  • we reasonably believe that:

    • the overseas recipient is subject to a law or binding scheme that is, overall, substantially similar to the Australian Privacy Principles; and

    • the law or binding scheme can be enforced; or

    • the disclosure is required or authorised by an Australian law or court / tribunal order.

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Circle Red Watches will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we hold about you is kept confidential and secure, including by:

 

  • having a robust security of our premises and databases / records;

  • taking measures to restrict access to only personnel who need that personal information to effectively provide services to you;

  • having technological measures in place (for example, anti-virus software, fire walls).
