Policy

Quicksilver Group respects the privacy of all individuals. Quicksilver Group is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers and staff and to ensuring that all staff involved in collection or storing of personal information comply at all times with our obligations under The Privacy Act 1988 (privacy Act) and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The Privacy Act is an Australian law which regulates the handling of personal information about individuals. This includes the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information, and access to and correction of that information. The Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) regulate the handling of personal information. The 13 APPs are contained in schedule 1 of the Privacy Act and can be accessed in the link below.

The GDPR replaces the 1995 Data protection Directive and is a regulation on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA. A copy of the GDPR can also be accessed on the below link and is deemed incorporated by reference in the Quicksilver Group Privacy Statement whether or not they are specifically referred to in our Quicksilver Group Privacy Statement.
