It is Australian Forklift Training’s policy to respect the confidentiality of information and the privacy of individuals.

Privacy Considerations

Keeping records about individuals is necessary and important. The information Australian Forklift Training receives from its clients is personal and confidential. Without this information however, it would be difficult to assess a customer’s needs. Both the general and common law impose confidentiality obligations on organisations such as Australian Forklift Training which in some respects are similar to those which exist with solicitor/client relationships. Australian Forklift Training supports these principles and has processes in place to respect them.

The legislation contains principles that include the following:

Personal information must only be collected for a purpose which is lawful, and which directly relates to a function or activity of the collector;The collection of that personal information must be necessary for, or directly related to that purpose;The collector must tell the individual concerned of the purpose for which the information is being collected;If the collector intends to pass the information to another party, the person providing the information must be told this.Any information collected should be relevant, up-to-date where appropriate, and complete; andOnce collected, the personal information must be protected by appropriate safeguards against loss, and also against unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure to unauthorised or inappropriate persons, and other misuse.
