We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to bring those changes to your attention.

The Main Purpose for which CCA Collects and Holds Information

CCA will not use or disclose personal information about an individual other than for the purpose stated at the time of the collection. If another use is proposed, CCA will seek further consent, unless that other purpose is related to the original purpose of collection.

Generally, we hold personal information of the individuals comprising our clients for the following purposes;

–  To enable the delivery of services and discretionary protection to CCA clients;

–  Send correspondence in relation to client related services and events;

–  Internal accounting and a Contractor account administration;

– Subject to discretion, to protect clients, third parties and suppliers from fraud; and

To help CCA identify any products, benefits or services that might be beneficial to clients, whether they are offered by CCA direct or from third parties or preferred suppliers.

Use of the information for a secondary purpose

We may sometimes use the personal information we collect for a secondary purpose, that is, for use in a way different from the original reason for collection.  We will only do this in the following circumstances:

  • Where you have consented
  • Where the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose, and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way, or
  • Where we are permitted or required by law, or it is in the interests of public safety to do so.

Use of Disclosure of Information:

The CCA business model focuses on people and organisations working together for the benefit of all parties involved.

In order to keep clients informed about updates or changes to Industry legislation and Regulations and to the services we offer and benefits or products available from CCA , we may employ a variety of direct marketing techniques.

  • Direct Calls
  • Emails
  • SMS
  • Hard Copy correspondence

We consider that direct marketing to our clients forms an integral part of delivering services to clients and prospective clients, and that these functions or services are directly related to our primary purpose for originally collecting the personal information from our clients representatives.

Without such a service, the communication between our clients and CCA may be substantially reduced, and therefore less likely to deliver the benefits and returns clients deserve.

At no time is the clients representative personal or business information provided direct to suppliers to CCA for their direct marketing activities. In the instances where a supplier wishes to utilise a mail out service, they are required to forward their promotional material to CCA, where the promotional material will be integrated with other CCA mail going to the client, with their written permission.

No third party has access to CCA customer list. Your personal information may be provided to service providers of CCA such as claims advisors, legal advisors or assessors for the purpose of facilitating the delivery of CCA services.

Each service provider is required to deal with your personal and business information in a manner and at the level specified by our standards.

Ensuring Personal Information is Up-to-date

We rely on personal and business information we hold in conducting our business. Therefore, it is very important that the information we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

We do everything we can to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date whenever we collect or use it. This means that from time to time, we will ask you to advise us of any changes to your personal and business information. If you find that information we hold about you is incorrect, please contact us immediately and we will make the appropriate changes.

All information is kept secure from unauthorized use or access. Only authorised CCA employees have access to client information to enable them to perform our services. 

Identifiers:

CCA does not adopt, use or disclose an identifier that has been assigned by a Commonwealth Government Agency unless legally required. An identifier, for example, a Medicare or tax file number, is a number assigned by a Commonwealth Government Agency to identify uniquely the individual for the purposes of the organisations operations.

Transborder data flows:

CCA does not disclose personal or business information to any person or organisation in a foreign country, except when the owner of the information supplies written consent.

Storage and security:

CCA is committed to ensure suitable procedures to safeguard and secure all information and documentation stored by us; both electronic and hard copy files.
