We will not use personal information for any purpose other than which is related to the business we undertake. We will not disclose, sell, distribute, rent, share or pass on any personal information collected about you to any party other than for the purpose that has been disclosed or with your express approval. From time to time we may bring to your attention products, services or other information that may be relevant to your interests. At this time we will be give you the opportunity to discontinue receiving this type of information. We also collect data from our web site to determine usage patterns, help make the web site easier to use and enable us to better meet the needs of its users in terms of content. Information may be collected directly from you, such as name and e-mail address, or through the use of “cookies” exchanged between the web site and your computer. A ‘cookie’ is a small file which remains on your computer and contains information enabling our website to recognise your browser. You have the option to disable the use of cookies on your browser. All information collected via the web site will be subject to this policy. 

You have the right to access personal information we hold about you. However, there are a number of circumstances where we have the right to deny access to this information. These are where: 

releasing the information can or will have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others; or

it is unlawful to do so; or

it may endanger the safety or physical or mental health of any person; or

it may prejudice an investigation of possible fraudulent or other illegal activity; or

the request for access is frivolous or vexatious; or

the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings involving us or our related business interests, and the information would not be accessible by the legal process of discovery.

Where we do deny access we will provide you with a reason in writing for this denial. Alternatively, if deemed reasonable, we may consider providing access to your information to a mutually agreed intermediary in order to meet the needs of both parties. We will take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information held is accurate, complete and up to date at the time we review it for the Purpose. If you consider any information held is not accurate or up to date we ask that you contact us regarding any proposed alterations.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

We will not use your personal information for any purpose other than which is related to the Purpose. We may use this information for a secondary purpose if it is related to the primary purpose, where you would reasonably expect us to use the information, or where it has been provided with your consent to use the information in a particular manner.

PROVISION OF FURTHER INFORMATION

You have the right not to receive information from us. At the time of receiving your request we will record this in our records. However, it is important that you consider the benefits of receiving such information before you make an election to cease receiving any direct information from us. If you have a complaint in relation to Privacy, you should take the following steps: 

1. Contact legal@fortecorp.com to put your complaint in writing to our Complaints Officer and we will endeavour to resolve your complaint quickly and fairly.
