Privacy and Information Storage Policy

Introduction

ELEV8 Consulting is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information that we collect, use, store, and disclose in the course of providing our services. This policy outlines our approach to privacy and information storage, and explains the measures that we have put in place to ensure compliance with privacy laws and best practices.

Scope

This policy applies to all personal information that ELEV8 Consulting collects, uses, stores, and discloses in the course of providing our services. This includes but is not limited to personal information about our clients, workers, stakeholders, and partners.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that personal information is collected, used, stored, and protected in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and other relevant privacy and confidentiality requirements.

Roles and Responsibilities

All employees of ELEV8 Consulting Pty Ltd are responsible for complying with this policy and ensuring the protection of personal information. The Managing Director is responsible for monitoring compliance with this policy and ensuring that all employees are trained on privacy and confidentiality requirements.

Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Information

ELEV8 Consulting collects, uses, and discloses personal information only for purposes that are relevant to our services, and that have been consented to by the individuals concerned. We obtain consent through a detailed consent form that outlines the purposes for which personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed, and we review this consent annually to ensure that it remains valid and up-to-date.


ELEV8 Consulting limits the collection of personal information to what is necessary for the intended purpose, and ensures that any personal information that we collect is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. We use and disclose personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected, unless we obtain consent or are required by law to do so.
ELEV8 Consulting does not sell, trade, or rent personal information to third parties. We only disclose personal information to third parties when it is necessary to provide our services, or when we are required by law to do so.

Consent Management and Withdrawal of Consent

ELEV8 Consulting ensures that individuals provide informed and voluntary consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information. For sensitive information, such as health records, we take extra steps to obtain explicit consent. Individuals have the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us directly. Upon withdrawal of consent, ELEV8 Consulting will cease any further use or disclosure of the individual’s personal information unless required by law.

Information Storage and Security

ELEV8 Consulting stores personal information in a secure manner to prevent unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. We use a case management system that is designed to ensure the security of personal information. Only appropriate people have access to the case and its details, and all activity and communication related to the case are completed through the system to minimise the risk of privacy breaches.


Any personal information that we collect as part of assessments or attendance at appointments is transferred onto the case management system in electronic form, and hard copies are then destroyed to further minimize the risk of unauthorised access.
ELEV8 Consulting uses appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. We regularly review and update our security measures to ensure that they remain effective and up-to-date.

Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) Compliance

ELEV8 Consulting is committed to complying with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) as set out in the Privacy Act 1988. These principles govern the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information.

All ELEV8 Consulting employees are required to use a strong password to protect access to ELEV8 Consulting’s information systems. All ELEV8 Consulting data is backed up regularly and securely.


Personal information is deleted or destroyed in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 when it is no longer required, and ELEV8 Consulting ensures that all hard copies of personal information are securely destroyed.

Retention and Destruction of Personal Information

ELEV8 Consulting retains personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and any contractual obligations.

  • Client records: Retained for a minimum of seven years after the last contact or as required by law.

  • Notify affected individuals as soon as practicable, providing recommendations on how they can mitigate potential harm.
  • Notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach.

The Incident Response Plan outlines the steps to be taken in the event of a breach, including notification of affected individuals, regulatory bodies, and other relevant stakeholders.
