Introduction

MAESTrO respects and upholds your rights under the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth) (Privacy Act). The Australian Privacy Principles apply to us from their introduction in March 2014 and replace the National Privacy Principles that applied from 2001.

This policy describes how we manage any personal information we have about you.

  • any additional information you provide, such as when you contact our Customer Relations telephone number or log in to our web site;
  • any information you may provide to us through customer surveys.

The consequences of non-collection of personal information is that MAESTrO may be unable to contact you for any issues, to respond to any submitted enquiries by you, or for the other purposes listed above.

Your personal information is stored securely in our computer system. We use our best endeavours to maintain the security of our computer system but no system is completely foolproof and we cannot provide any definitive assurance regarding security of personal information.
