Cyclone Global Pty Ltd is committed to providing quality services to you and this policy outlines our ongoing obligations to you in respect of how we manage your Personal Information (PI).
We have created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our commitment to the Privacy Act 1988 Cth (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) (together, the Australian Privacy Law). It sets out how we may collect, hold, use or disclose your PI. This policy includes examples but is not intended to be restricted in its application to such examples. Where the word ‘including’ is used, it shall mean ‘including without limitation’.
What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?
PI is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of PI we collect include: names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers. This PI is obtained in many ways including by telephone, email and via our website www.cycloneglobal.com, from your website, from media and publications, from other publicly available sources, and from third parties. We don’t guarantee website links or policy of authorised third parties.
We collect your PI for the primary purpose of providing our services to you, providing information to our clients and marketing. We may also use your PI for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. You may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by contacting us in writing.
When we collect PI we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.

Disclosure of Personal Information
Your PI may be disclosed in several circumstances including the following:
Security of Personal Information
We ensure that your personally identifiable information (PI) is stored securely to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. When your PI is no longer required for its original purpose, we will take appropriate measures to either destroy it or render it permanently unidentifiable. However, it’s important to note that a significant portion of the PI will be stored in client files, which we are obligated to retain for a minimum of seven years.

Under Australian Privacy Law, you have the right to access your Personal Information (PI) with certain restrictions. Typically, a summary of your PI is provided free of charge. We encourage you to reach out to us to update your PI to ensure its accuracy, currency, and completeness. We are committed to taking reasonable steps to address your request promptly.
