ASQ will never sell, rent, lease or give away your personal information (including your name, address, email address, phone number etc) to any third party.
What is personal information and why do we collect it?
Personal information is information that identifies an individual. Examples of the personal information we may collect include names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and banking information.
This information is obtained in many ways including via telephone, email, facsimile, correspondence, VIP signups, credit application forms, our website (www.asq.net.au), meetings, interviews, your website, media and publications, other publicly available sources and from third parties.
We collect your personal information for the primary purpose of providing our services and information to you, as well as marketing. We may also use your personal information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. For example, we may collect your email address when you become a trade account customer so we can send you invoices and statements, however we may then use the address provided to inform you of updates to our Privacy Policy.
If you apply for a job or express your interest in working for ASQ, your personal information will be collected from employment applications. This information will only be used for the purpose of hiring new employees. The information will be stored by us for the duration that we deem relevant to hiring new employees. This information will not be disclosed to third parties.
You may request removal of your information from our system or unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by contacting us.
When we collect personal information we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.

For the primary purpose for which it was obtained
For a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose
With your consent; or where required or authorised by law.
Third parties
Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your personal information only from you. However, in some circumstances we may be provided with information by third parties. In such a case we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party.
Disclosure of personal information
Your personal information may be disclosed in a number of circumstances including the following:
Third parties where you consent to the use or disclosure; and
Where required or authorised by law.
Security of personal information
Your personal information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Access to your personal information is restricted to ASQ workers who need it to provide benefits or services to you. We train our workers about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information.
When your personal information is no longer required for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal information. However, most of the personal information is or will be stored in client files which will be kept by us for a minimum of seven years.
