CONSENT

We will obtain the Client’s consent to collect, use or disclose Personal Information (except where, as noted below, we are authorised to do so without consent).

Consent can be provided orally, in writing, electronically or, through an authorised representative on a Client’s behalf, or it can be implied where the purpose for collecting using or disclosing the Personal Information would be considered obvious and the Client voluntarily provides Personal Information for that purpose.

Subject to certain exceptions (e.g., the Personal Information is necessary to provide the service or product, or the withdrawal of consent would frustrate the performance of a legal obligation), Clients, can withhold or withdraw their consent for Mabey Ski Ltd. to use their Personal Information in certain ways. A Client’s decision to withhold or withdraw their consent to certain uses of Personal Information may restrict our ability to provide a particular service or product. If so, we will explain the situation to assist the Client in making the decision.

For the purposes of collecting a debt;
To protect ourselves from fraud;
To investigate an anticipated breach of an agreement or a contravention of law.

ENSURING ACCURACY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Client’s Personal Information is accurate and complete where it may be used to make a decision about the Client or disclosed to another organisation.

Clients can request correction to their Personal Information in order to ensure its accuracy and completeness. A request to correct Personal Information must be made in writing and provide sufficient detail to identify the Personal Information and the correction being sought. A request to correct Personal Information should be forwarded to the Privacy Officer.

If the Personal Information is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete, we will correct the information as required and send the corrected information to any organisation to which we disclosed the Personal Information in the previous year. If the correction is not made, we will note the Clients’ correction request in the file.

SECURING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Mabey Ski Ltd is committed to ensuring the security of our Client’s Personal Information and we take several security measures to protect against unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of Personal Information which you provide to us.

These security measures include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorised access to systems where we store Personal Information, including the use of user ID’s, password restricted access, encryption and firewalls. We restrict access to Personal Information to our employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information to operate, develop or improve our services.

However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Where a fee is to be applied, we will inform the Client of the cost and request further direction from the Client on whether or not we should proceed with the request.
