KPMG Shield Docs is committed to respecting your privacy.
We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (the Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), which set out a number of principles concerning the collection, storage, use and disclosure of personal information. You can see the full text of the APPs online at www.privacy.gov.au. This Privacy Policy explains our policy for dealing with personal information.
Throughout this Privacy Policy, we refer to your "personal information" which means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiably. Your name and address are examples of personal information.
We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy on the website, so we encourage you to check this Privacy Policy from time to time.
The personal information about you, which we may collect includes:
You may browse some information-only areas of the website without providing any personal information, however, we may not be able to process an application for employment if we are not provided with the information we require.
In common with many commercial websites, we may also collect aggregated information that tells us about visitors to the website but not the identity of those visitors. For example, we may collect information about the date, time and duration of visits and which pages of the website are most commonly accessed. This information is used by us to help administer and improve the website.
The website may use 'cookies', small text files which are placed on your hard drive to store information. Permanent cookies may be used to store user settings, like your preferred location.

We may use and disclose your personal information to contact you about new services relevant to your business. You may tell us at any time that you do not want us to use your personal information for direct marketing by updating your contacting us on support@shielddocs.com.
We may disclose information to anyone acting on our behalf such as for the purpose of providing electronic newsletters to our subscribers. However, we are unlikely to disclose personal information about you to anyone outside Australia.
Under the Act we are entitled to collect sensitive information about you under certain circumstances, including but not limited to, where the collection is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order.
Where we are required to, we will seek your consent before collecting your sensitive information and inform you of the purpose for collection at the same time.
The website may, from time to time, contain links to the websites of other organisations, which may be of interest to you. Linked websites are responsible for their own privacy practices and you should check those websites for their respective privacy statements.
