AMDA FOUNDATION LIMITED respects the privacy of individuals and is committed to its obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 of the Commonwealth of Australia (Privacy Act), the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) and the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR).
In this Privacy Policy, 'us' 'we' or 'our' means the AMDA FOUNDATION LIMITED.
We are committed to respecting your privacy. We will protect you with regard to the processing of your personal data and we will comply with the rules relating to the free movement of personal data. Our purpose is to protect your fundamental rights and freedoms, and your right to the protection of personal data.
Our Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, store and disclose your personal information. By providing personal information to us, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any other arrangements that apply between us. We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time when our information handling practices change. Updates will be publicised on our website and through our email lists. We encourage you to check our website periodically to ensure that you are aware of our current Privacy Policy.
Your personal information includes any information or opinion about you, or from you which is reasonably identifiable. For example, this may include your name, age, gender, postcode, contact details, identification number, location data, online identifier or any reference which is specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.
We are committed to our obligations under the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to protect the privacy of individuals.
We may collect the following types of personal information:
We only collect specified and explicit personal data for legitimate purposes to the extent that permits identification of data subjects and is necessary for our purpose. Such personal data will be kept in an appropriate way to ensure security of your privacy.
We will only process your personal data where we have a legal ground to do so, for example when you have given your consent to process it, when it is necessary for the performance of a contract, when required for compliance with a legal obligation, when it is necessary to protect your vital interest, when it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Controller and finally, when it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child. We will ensure that your personal data is processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner.
We may collect these types of personal information either directly from you, or from third parties. We may collect this information in a number of ways, including:
We may also generate personal information about our customers from information that we have. For example, by analysing our records of the customer’s previous dealings with us.
Finally, personal data has to be accurate and kept up to date, for that reason we will ensure that any inaccurate personal data (to our knowledge) will be erased or rectified without delay.
Consent is the basis of data processing. For lawful processing of personal data, you have to give us your consent to allow us to process your personal data. For that reason the consent has to be given before we make use of your personal information. When the consent is given in writing, the consent has to be granted in a clear, intelligible and easily accessible form.
Your consent has to be freely given. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
The processing of the personal data of a child will be lawful where the child is at least 16 years old. Where the child is below the age of 16 years, such processing will be lawful only if and to the extent that consent is given or authorised by a person with parental responsibility over the child.
We may hold, use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:
Individuals are not obliged to give us their personal information. However, if they choose not to provide us with all or part of the personal information requested, we may not be able to extend or process invitations to them to attend or participate in our events or activities, admit them to attend or permit them to participate in our events or activities, register them as team members, provide them with a full range of our goods and services, or inform them about the events and activities conducted by us, the goods and services offered by us or the goods and services of other organisations.
We may send you direct marketing communications and information about our events. This may take the form of phone calls, emails, SMS, mail or other forms of communication. You may opt-out of receiving marketing materials from us by contacting us using the details set out below or by using the opt-out facilities provided (e.g. an “unsubscribe” link).
We may disclose personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy to:
We require our service providers to keep personal information confidential and not to use or disclose it for any purpose other than performing services for us or on our behalf. You should be aware that some information that you upload to parts of our websites or to our social media pages may be available to be viewed by the public. You should use discretion in deciding what information to upload to such sites.

We will, however, take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipient will deal with such personal information in a way that is consistent with the APP and GDPR.
Any transfer of personal data which are undergoing processing or are intended for processing after transfer to a third country or to an international organisation shall take place only if, subject to the other provisions of the GDPR, the conditions of Chapter 5 of the GDPR are complied with by the Controller and Processor, including for onward transfers of personal data from the third country or an international organisation to another third country or to another international organisation. This is to ensure that the guaranteed level of protection of natural persons is not undermined. ‘Controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law. ‘Processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the Controller. Union means European Union. Member State means a state that is a member of the Union

b) | We will transfer personal data to a third country or an international organisation only if the Controller or Processor has provided appropriate safeguards, and on the condition that enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects are available. | ||

In the case of a personal data breach, without undue delay and, where feasible, no later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, we will notify the personal data breach to the competent supervisory authority, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
When the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons we will communicate in clear and plain language, the personal data breach to you without undue delay, the nature of the personal data breach and will contain at least the information and security measures taken.
When your personal data is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal data. However, most of the personal data is or will be stored in files which will be kept by us for a minimum of 7 years.

AMDA FOUNDATION LIMITED (ABN 63 091 147 787) is an Australian not-for-profit corporation established to promote the development of aviation and Australia’s industrial, manufacturing and information/communications technology resources in the fields of aviation, aerospace, maritime, defence and security.
AMDA achieves this goal by delivering Australia’s most prominent and respected world-class biennial industry expositions as platforms for interaction between industry, defence, government and academia.
1. | General AMDA FOUNDATION LIMITED may provide business or commercial credit to our customers in connection with our goods and services. As a result, we may collect credit information and credit eligibility information about you as referred to in the Privacy Act. This Credit Information Policy sets out how we manage such information. This Credit Information Policy relates to AMDA FOUNDATION LIMITED as far as it is deemed to be a credit provider for the purposes of the Privacy Act. |
|
2. | Collection and holding of credit information and credit eligibility information “Credit information” relates primarily to your credit related dealings with a credit provider (including us), and covers various types of information that may be collected by credit reporting bodies (CRBs) that compile and provide credit reports to authorised credit providers for the purpose of assessing your credit worthiness.
We may collect credit information about you in any of the circumstances relating to other personal information described in our Privacy Policy under the heading “How do we collect personal information”. “Credit eligibility information” is information we generally collect from CRBs that is equivalent to the kinds of information listed above. This information relates primarily to your credit related dealings with other credit providers (e.g. banks, other financial institutions, or other organisations that may provide you with credit in connection with their products or services). It may also include certain credit worthiness information that we derive from the data that we receive from a CRB. Sometimes we may also collect credit eligibility information about you from other credit providers which is permitted under privacy laws. Since we only provide business or commercial credit (rather than consumer credit) as part of our business, we do not hold an Australian Credit Licence (ACL) under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth). As such, we will only collect credit information and credit eligibility information about you from third parties if such collection is permitted under the Privacy Act. We store and safeguard your credit information and credit eligibility information in the ways described in our Privacy Policy under the heading “How we store and secure personal data”. |
|
3. | Use and disclosure of credit information and credit eligibility information As a provider of business or commercial credit only and a non-holder of an ACL, we will not disclose any of your credit information to CRBs unless otherwise permitted by law. We may, however, use and disclose your credit information for other purposes and in other circumstances as described in our Privacy Policy under the heading “How do we use and disclose personal information”, when permitted to do so by the Privacy Act. Our use and disclosure of credit information and credit eligibility information is regulated by Part IIIA of the Privacy Act and the Credit Reporting Privacy Code. We will only use or disclose such information for purposes permitted by these laws, such as:
|
|
4. | Access and correction of credit information and credit eligibility information If you wish to access or correct errors in any of your credit information or credit eligibility information that we hold, please contact us using the contact details set out in our Privacy Policy under the headings “Contact us”. We may apply an administrative charge for providing access to your credit information or credit eligibility information, depending on the request. |
|
5. | How to make a complaint regarding our compliance with Part IIIA of the Privacy Act and the Credit Reporting Privacy Code If you think that we have not complied with Part IIIA of the Privacy Act or with the Credit Reporting Privacy Code (which regulates credit reporting), you can make a complaint by using the contact details set out in our Privacy Policy under the heading “Contact us”. We will acknowledge your complaint in writing as soon as practicable within 7 days. We will aim to investigate and resolve your complaint within 30 days of receiving it. If we need more time, we will notify you about the reasons for the delay and ask for your agreement to extend this 30-day period (if you do not agree, we may not be able to resolve your complaint). While we hope that we will be able to resolve any complaint without the need to involve third parties, if you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint you can make a complaint to the Australian Information Commissioner (www.oaic.gov.au). |
