PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies to the collection of Personal Information by or on behalf of Broadcast, Programming & Research Pty Ltd (ACN 006 876 759) (and its related bodies corporate) (myradiotest.com/we/us)

On some occasions we may conduct a promotion or other activity which has its own specific Privacy Policy. In this case, notice of that policy will be provided at the time any Personal Information is sought and that policy will apply to that promotion or activity and will override this policy to the extent of any inconsistency.

INTRODUCTION

MYRADIOTEST.COM operates a media research and consultancy business throughout the world. Through our varied operations, we gather information for a variety of reasons:

A. FOR STATISTICAL RESEARCH PURPOSES

Most of the information we collect is for statistical purposes only such as how many people like or dislike a particular song. In this respect information that is provided to us in connection with statistical research such as your age, where you live or which radio station you listen to are used only for the purposes of creating demographic groups. Any information that may identify an individual person is never associated with statistical data.

B USER AND CLIENT COMMUNICATION

Personal information provided to us as part of an opt-in or request to receive information about our products and services. This information enables us to provide services to clients, improve the nature of the services we provide and to facilitate distribution of information to clients and other people interested in the products and services MYRADIOTEST.COM .

We may collect personal information from you in various ways, for example, when you use MYRADIOTEST.COM’s products and services or request information from us. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy all parties we deal with are referred to as “Individuals”. The personal information we collect from you may include your name and contact details, feedback, product preferences, transactional details or other information which may lead you to be identified (herein referred to as “PI”).

We are committed to the protection of PI in a manner which is fair and unobtrusive. We meet the standards set out in the Privacy Amendment Act 2012 (Commonwealth) (“the Act”) and the National Privacy Principles (“NPPs”) regarding the way in which we will collect, hold, use and disclose PI and respond to your requests to access and/or correct it. This policy sets out how we handle your PI and the rights and obligations that we both have in relation to that information.

This policy may be reviewed from time to time so it is best to read it at any time you are proposing to supply us with PI. By using our website or providing PI, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and consent to any use of PI that is in accordance with this policy. Any proposed use of PI that is not covered by this policy will be disclosed at or prior to the time of collection and where practicable, your consent will be obtained.

ANONYMITY

In accordance with the NPPs, you may deal with us on an anonymous basis where practical. However, as a provider of a wide range of services, we find that it is often necessary to collect PI from you during the course of transactions, for example, to facilitate sending you a newsletter.

CONSENT

Wherever practical, we will obtain your express consent when collecting PI. In some situations, we will interpret your actions as indicating your consent to the collection of PI. For example, this may occur when you have provided PI for a particular purpose and that purpose cannot be achieved without using your PI.

WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect PI for a number of reasons, including:
• to provide you with our products or services;
• to administer our relationship with you;
• to monitor activity on our websites, for the purpose of maintaining the security of those websites;
• for internal administrative purposes, such as procedural assessments, risk management, staff training, and product and service reviews; and
• to identify and inform you about other products or services that may be of interest to you.

COMPETITIONS

If you provide us with PI as part of an entry into a competition then we will use that information to contact you in connection with the competition and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Depending on the nature of the competition or offer, we will ask for your personal details such as your name, address, email address, age, telephone number/s and/or gender. Sometimes in relation to a particular competition we may also seek additional information. PI collected during competitions will be governed by the terms set out in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise stated in the conditions of entry for the competition, or an alternate Privacy Policy applies.

CONSEQUENCES OF NOT PROVIDING ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION
We may not be able to provide a complete service to you if PI is not provided upon request. For example, providing incomplete information could render a request for our newsletter invalid.

HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We primarily collect PI directly from you through our websites. However, PI may be collected in a variety of ways, including:
• application forms;
• email;
• posted mail;
• written and/or verbal means of communication;
• online transactions;
• social network platforms (Facebook, Twitter etc.)0;
• in person;
• over the telephone;
• business contacts (eg contractual documents);
• information collected from third parties (eg marketing databases);
• information collected from public sources (eg telephone directories); and
• other forms of written and verbal communication.
We may also obtain details about you or your business from sources that are publicly available such as websites, journals, legal directories and phone books. We will only collect information about you from third parties in rare circumstances, for example where one of your friends indicates to us that one of our services or products may be of interest to you. If we do collect PI in this manner, it will only comprise of your name and contact details and we will endeavour to make you aware of the collection of this information, the third party’s contact details and this Privacy Policy.

THE TYPE OF INFORMATION WE HOLD ABOUT YOU

We only hold information about you that is relevant to our relationship with you. Generally, the PI we hold will include (where relevant) the company you work for, your title, name, contact details, interests, information preferences and how you make use of the products or services that we provide you.
Sensitive Information
We rarely ask for sensitive information, but may do so occasionally as part of a competition or survey, for example. We will not ask for sensitive information unless:
• you have consented;
• the collection of the information is specifically authorised by law;
• the collection is necessary to lessen a serious or imminent threat to the health or safety or any person; or
• the collection of the information is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

HOW WE HOLD YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Depending on the circumstances, we may hold PI in hardcopy or electronic form, or both. Generally, we keep hardcopies of all correspondence that we enter into and maintain details about Individuals that we interact with in our electronic database/s.

HOW WE SECURE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We hold all hardcopy and electronic records of PI in a secure manner to ensure that it is protected from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. PI held in hardcopy form is, wherever practical, kept under lock and key. Pl held in electronic form is, wherever practical, password protected and/or encrypted.
Our staff follows strict information handling procedures and only those whose tasks require use of your information are able to access it.
We regularly de-identify and/or destroy PI in a secure manner, for example by using shredding machines and/or secure disposal units, once it is no longer needed or required to be kept by law. Where possible and practical, we endeavour to comply with recognised Australian and international standards relating to information security.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

In general, only our officers, employees or contractors who require the information in order to perform their functions may access PI.
We will only disclose PI to parties other than our officers, employees and contractors where:
• that disclosure is required to give effect to the purpose/s for which we collected the PI, for example, to provide you with a service you have requested, and we believe that you would reasonably expect us to use the information; or
• you have consented to that disclosure; or
• we believe that the disclosure may lessen a risk of harm to the health or safety of any person; or
• we believe that the disclosure is required to protect our rights or property or any other user of our services; or
• we believe an unlawful activity is being undertaken and the PI is disclosed as part of our investigation into or reporting of suspected unlawful activity; or
• we are required by law to disclose the PI; or
• the disclosure is required for the investigation of a possible breach or enforcement of a criminal law or a law imposing a pecuniary penalty, or for the protection of public revenue.
Generally, disclosure of PI will only be made for a purpose that is directly related to the product or service that we are providing you. This may include disclosure to organisations that provide us with professional advice, such as solicitors and accountants, and to contractors to whom we outsource functions, such as mailing houses, collators, electronic network administrators or debt collection agencies. However, where possible, we take contractual measures and, in all other circumstances, all reasonable measures with our contractors to ensure that they comply with the standards set out in the Act and the NPPs. Where practicable and appropriate, we require our contractors to perform their work in-house and do not permit them to disclose PI that we have disclosed to them to their sub-contractors (if any). The only other circumstances in which disclosure of PI may occur are those which are expressly permitted under the Act. For example, where the disclosure takes place with your consent or where we are legally required to disclose the information.
