The Think HQ Group is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and must comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). You can find out more information about the Privacy Act and the APPs at the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s website at www.oaic.gov.au.
We have developed this Privacy Policy to inform you of how we manage your personal information.
By providing personal information to us, you are taken to have read, and consent to the collection, use disclosure and handling of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Personal information has the meaning given to that term in the Privacy Act and includes information or an opinion (whether true or not) about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.
In general, the Think HQ Group collects personal information about its clients, suppliers, contractors, attendees at events conducted on behalf of our clients, members of the media, and prospective interns or employees. We aim to collect personal information only if it is reasonably necessary to provide the service, product or information you have requested from us or our client.
In the course of providing you with services, we collect personal information in a variety of ways. Unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so, we collect your personal information from you directly. In some cases, however, we will collect information about you from a third party.
For example, if you attend an event that we conduct for our client, we may collect personal information about you from our client. If you are an employee of a client, supplier or contractor, we may also collect your personal information from your colleagues or employer. We may also collect your personal information from your talent agency if you are a person we use, or may use, in a campaign for a client.
At the time of collection, or as soon as practicable after we have collected it, we will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to notify or make you aware of the collection and of any matters relevant to the collection, unless it is obvious from the circumstances that you would know or would expect us to have the information.

We will obtain your consent before collecting sensitive information about you. We may also collect information about a client or its employee’s memberships of trade associations or union memberships if it is relevant to the event that we are conducting for that client.

Those third parties will be permitted to access only the personal information they need to deliver the service to the Think HQ Group or to you.
Each entity in the Think HQ Group may also disclose your personal information to other companies within the Think HQ Group (which are listed above). We are not likely to disclose information to overseas recipients unless it is with your consent, or the disclosure is required or authorised by law.

The Think HQ Group aims to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date. To assist us in this, you need to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as requested and properly update the information to us to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you believe that the information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, please contact us and we will use all reasonable efforts to correct the information. If we do not believe the information to be incorrect, we will take reasonable steps to add a statement to the information claiming that you believe the information is inaccurate, incomplete, out of date.
We may hold your personal information in electronic or hard copy form. We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, as well as from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We use a number of physical, administrative, personnel and technical measures to protect your personal information.
We will retain your personal information as required by law, and then take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed.
The Think HQ Group reserves the right to make amendments to this Privacy Policy at any time for any reason. We will publish any updated Privacy Policy on our Websites.
Subject to exceptions allowed by law, you can request access to or correction of your own personal information by contacting us. If the information held by the Think HQ Group is inaccurate, incomplete or not up to date you may request that we correct the information. You may be required to put your request in writing for security reasons.
We will give you access to, or correct, your personal information unless there is a lawful reason for refusing your request for access or correction. If We refuse your request we will give you a written notice explaining our reasons for that refusal and how you may complain about that refusal.
If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of the Think HQ Group or our business (or any entity in the Think HQ Group) to another organisation (including in the course of a transaction like a sale, merger or acquisition or as part of a dissolution, liquidation, administration, receivership or other form of insolvency), you agree that your personal information that is collected by the Think HQ Group may be disclosed to a third party, prospective buyer, transferee or insolvency practitioner and that this is reasonable to enable that party to continue or manage the business.
