How we collect personal information

Information that you specifically give us

We may ask you to provide us with certain types of personal information if you wish to obtain a particular service or product from us. This might happen over the telephone, through our website, by filling in a paper form, or meeting with us face-to-face. You might also provide your personal information to us, without us directly asking for it, for example if you engage with us on social media or if you send us documents that you need translated.

Information that we collect from others

If you apply for a job or contract with us, we will collect personal information about you from your referees. We may also check some details about our suppliers from publicly available sources, such as the Australian Business Register and ASIC databases.

Information that we generate ourselves

We maintain records of the interactions we have with our clients, including the products and services we have provided to you.

We collect limited information about users of our websites, for diagnostic and analytic purposes. We use cookies and gather IP addresses to do so, but we do not trace these back to individual users.

The types of personal information we collect

The types of personal information we collect about our clients includes:

• Name and contact details

• Content that you ask us to translate or have provided to us for quoting purposes

• The translations of the content provided to us
  

Links to other sites

On our website, we may provide links to third party websites. These linked sites are not under our control, and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked to our website. Before providing your personal information via any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using that website and its privacy policy.

How we use personal information

We may use your personal information for the following purposes:

• to provide the service or product you have requested

• to provide technical or other support to you

• to answer your enquiry about our services, or to respond to a complaint

• to manage our employment or business relationship with you

• to comply with legal and regulatory obligations

• if otherwise permitted or required by law, or

• for other purposes with your consent, unless you withdraw your consent.

The ‘lawful processing’ grounds on which we will use personal information about you are ‘legitimate interests’, specifically the necessity to provide a quotation or carry out a translation. The provision of a quotation or the carrying out of a translation are requested by our clients; hence, our clients’ privacy interests do not override the organisation’s interests

We do not use automated decision-making.

We will keep personal information about you, to use for the above purposes, for 10 years.

When we disclose personal information

Our third-party service providers

The personal information of our clients, staff, suppliers and other contacts may be held on our behalf outside Australia, including ‘in the cloud’, by our third-party service providers including but not limited to MYOB, Dropbox, and Microsoft. Our third-party service providers are bound by contract to only use your personal information on our behalf, under our instructions.

Other disclosures and transfers

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties for the following purposes:

• if necessary to provide the service or product you have requested

• if otherwise permitted or required by law; or

• for other purposes with your consent.

If a translator is located outside Australia, then such a disclosure may go outside Australia, commonly but not always into the country where the source language of the translator is spoken. The ‘lawful basis on which that third-country processing can occur, under Articles 44-50 of the GDPR, is the necessity to provide a quotation or carry out a translation. The provision of a quotation or the carrying out of a translation are requested by our clients; hence, our clients’ privacy interests do not override the organisation’s interests.
