COMMITMENT TO PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY
Australian Payroll Association respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it.
Our Privacy Policy explains how and why we collect personal information, what we use it for, and to whom and when we disclose it. We update our policy from time to time, and you should revisit our website regularly to see the latest copy of the Privacy Policy. Any changes will come into effect when the updated Privacy Policy is posted to the website.
In all cases we will treat your personal information with no less protection than that provided for by the Australian Privacy Principles set out under the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 (Cth) and any other privacy laws that are in force in Australia.
HOW AND WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?
We collect personal information from you when you sign up as a registered user or request to receive further information from an advertiser. Australian Payroll Association collects data about you, your interests and subjects you select to receive communications about.
