We may collect some de-identified information that is not personal information. This may include aggregated information about how users use the CMG Sites, and anonymous answers to surveys.

3. How Do We Collect And Hold Your Personal Information?

We collect your personal information directly from you unless we believe, on reasonable grounds, that it is not reasonably practicable in the circumstances to do so. We can also collect personal information in a variety of ways, including via the CMG Sites (such as when users register or apply for employment), when you respond to e-mail questionnaires or when you provide personal information to us by other means, such as in-person during conversations with our representatives, via your employer for the purposes of providing services to your employer, providing a business card, over the phone or by email.

We may also collect personal information from third parties including:

• our service providers;

The CMG Sites use "cookies" to identify you and your interests, and to track usage of the CMG Sites in order to help personalise your browsing experience. Cookies are small pieces of text stored on your computer that help us know which browser you are using and where you have been on the CMG Sites and on websites to which you may link in order to use some of our features. Cookies also let us know whether you have registered with us and otherwise enable us to relate your current usage of the CMG Sites to your prior usage. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set your browser to refuse them. However, a user who does not accept the cookie from the CMG Site may not be able to access certain areas and may limit your use of the CMG Sites and some of our services. In administering the CMG Sites and diagnosing potential system problems, we also log all IP addresses which access the CMG Sites.

7. Direct Marketing Materials

We may send you direct marketing communications and information about our products and services that we consider might be of interest to you. These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, SMS, fax and email in accordance with applicable marketing laws, such as the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (NZ). If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method wherever practicable to do so. You consent to receiving direct marketing communications and information from us. However, at any time you may opt out of receiving marketing communications for us by contacting us (see details below) or by using opt out facilities provided in the marketing communications and then we will ensure that your name is removed from our mailing list.

We do not provide your personal information to other organizations for the purposes of direct marketing without your prior consent.

8. Do We Disclose Your Personal Information To Anyone Outside New Zealand?

Your personal information may be transferred to other countries for processing, support, storage and other necessary activities and by using this service you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have different personal data protection rules than in your country. Those countries may include Australia, United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India and China. If we transfer your information outside of New Zealand in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy continues to be protected in a manner which is consistent with New Zealand privacy law.

9. How Can You Access, Change, And/Or Delete Information?

You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us. Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with a suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you). We will not charge for making the request or for making any corrections to your personal information. To do so, please contact your CMG representative or our Privacy Officer by the means set out in paragraph 12. We will then contact you to request sufficient information to allow us to confirm your identity. As soon as reasonably practicable after your request is received, and not later than 20 working days, we will give you access to your personal information or advise you of the reasons for our refusing your request.

There may be times when we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. For example, if access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality or law, we will not be required to grant you access. We will let you know if this is the case.

If you believe that the personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, you may request us to amend it by contacting our Privacy Officer. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it. You may also have your personal information deleted. You should be aware that we are required by law to retain certain personal information (such as payroll records); such information will not be deleted. We will let you know if we cannot delete your personal information for legal or other reasons.

Of course, if your personal information has been deleted and you wish to apply for another position through us, you will need to repeat the application process.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is protected from misuse, loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. We may hold your information in either or both electronic or hard copy form. Only authorized personnel will be provided with access to personal information. These persons are required to treat this information as confidential and deal with it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Personal information is destroyed or de-identified when no longer needed.

As the CMG Sites is linked to the internet and the internet is inherently insecure, we cannot provide any assurance regarding the security of transmission of information you communicate to us online.

Accordingly, any information which you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk.
