We may also collect Personal Information from publicly available sources,or where we are legally obliged to do so.
NO COLLECTION OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION
We do not need to collect Sensitive Information about you in order to provide you with services. If we do collect Sensitive Information, we will only do so with your consent.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information collected about you is only used in order to:

Sometimes the information we collect may include de-identified demographic information such as age, gender, location, occupation, or preferences, which is not Personal Information. We may use such information for our own internal business purposes or to improve our products and services. We may also disclose such de-identified information to third parties including consultants, suppliers, partners, customers or potential customers. If you do not wish for us to collect or use de-identified data from you in this way, please contact our Privacy Officer whose contact details are set out below.
If at any time you no longer wish to be notified about new products, services or promotions, please let us know by contacting our Privacy Officer whose contact details are set out below.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may disclose Personal Information to companies which are part of the JCDecaux group of companies, in which case we will use best endeavours to ensure that those companies adhere to standards and obligations substantially similar to those set out in this Privacy Policy. We may also disclose Personal Information to selected third party companies (‘Partner Companies’) with whom we have a relationship or with whom we are conducting a joint promotion or service offering. Such Partner Companies may need your Personal Information to fulfil a service, promotion or offer conducted by us in conjunction with the Partner Company. We will not disclose your Personal Information to Partner Companies for them to use for other purposes or to market their products or services to you directly, and we will endeavour to ensure that Partner Companies adhere to these obligations.

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information to or with third parties.
COOKIES AND WEB LOGS
We use cookies and web logs on our website to improve its functionality.
Cookies are a small text file that our websites may place on your computer, and collect information such as your Internet protocol address, your computer's operating system, browser type and traffic patterns. You may adjust your Internet browser to disable cookies, or inform you when one is being used. If you choose to disable cookies, you may be unable to access certain areas of our website.
Sometimes our website contains links to other websites for your convenience and information. When you access a website other than www.jcdecaux.com.au please understand that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of that site.
SECURITY
We take reasonable steps to ensure the security of Personal Information held by us from such risks as loss or unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. Our IT systems are password protected and comply with our security standards. We only permit Personal Information to be accessed by authorised personnel.
We collect Personal Information online. We use multi-layered encryption methods to transmit your credit card information so that it will not be intercepted or tampered with during transmission. However, you should be aware that the Internet is not a secure environment, and transmission of Personal Information over the Internet is at your own risk.
Personal Information will only be held for as long as the relevant laws allow us to hold it. Following the expiry of any such period, we will destroy or return (as appropriate) the Personal Information to you, unless we are required to retain your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws, including for example, record keeping obligations.
ACCESS AND CORRECTION
We take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You may access to the information we hold about you. If you would like to access your Personal Information, please contact our Privacy Officer (details below), who will explain how we will handle your access request, and whether there will be any associated charge.
We will assume (unless you tell us otherwise) that your request for access relates to our current records about you. These current records include Personal Information about you which is included in our databases, and which may be used by us on a day to day basis.
If you believe that Personal Information about you is not accurate, complete or up to date, please provide our Privacy Officer with your request for correction (contact details are set out below). We will consider any requests for correction in a timely way.
TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OVERSEAS
Personal information that we collect may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of Australia, including France and Belgium, primarily to related companies in the JCDecaux group, but also potentially to related service providers such as payment processors, banks and financial institutions, and IT service providers.
The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and corresponding Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs”) require relevant Australian entities to ensure that, before disclosing personal information overseas, reasonable steps are taken to ensure that overseas recipients do not breach the Act or the APPs (APP 8.1). We will endeavour to ensure that overseas recipients take reasonable care to comply with the Privacy Act or local laws which provide similar or better protection for the protection of personal information. However, it is not always possible to ensure that overseas recipients will comply. Ultimately we do not take responsibility for the actions of overseas third party recipients of Personal Information. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you are agreeing that your personal information may be disclosed overseas and that APP 8.1 will not apply to that disclosure. If you are a resident in the European Union (EU), you will have rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation regarding erasure, objections to processing, data portability and complaints to a relevant supervisory authority.
