2. Collection of personal information
‘Personal information’ is information in any form that can identify a living person.
Personal information may be collected directly by NumeroPro from you (or your representative), or via a third party. In most situations, NumeroPro collects personal information about an individual from the NumeroPro client who is employing the individual, or from the NumeroPro client where the parent/guardian has a child enrolled in the child care centre. Where NumeroPro is provided with personal information by its clients, NumeroPro relies on its clients having obtained the consent of the individual for the collection, use, and disclosure of his or her personal information to and by NumeroPro.

3. Kinds of personal information collected and held

6. Protection of personal information
NumeroPro exercises great care to protect personal information that it holds. This includes, among other things, using industry-standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, and site monitoring.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while NumeroPro strives to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail or through the Kidsoft suite of software applications. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your email transmission or communication transmission via the Kidsoft suite of software applications, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our servers. If this is of concern to you then you may use other methods of communication with NumeroPro, for example post, phone or fax (although these methods of communication also have risks associated with them).
Numerpro confirms that, in line with its obligations under the NDB Scheme, it has procedures in place should the confidentiality or security of your personal information be compromised. We confirm that we will advise you at the first reasonable opportunity following discovery of a security breach that is likely to cause serious harm, where your information is lost, stolen, accessed, used, disclosed, copied, modified or disposed of by an unauthorised person or in any unauthorised manner.
Internally, NumeroPro restricts access to personal information to employees or parties who need access to the personal information in order to do their jobs. These employees or parties are limited in number and are committed to our Privacy Policy and compliance with the Act.
Additionally, NumeroPro will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail or communication via the Kidsoft suite of software applications.
NumeroPro will review its security arrangements from time to time as it deems appropriate.
7. Disclosure of personal information
NumeroPro does not sell or rent personal information to anyone.
However, in using personal information, it may be necessary for NumeroPro to disclose personal information to various organisations and/or parties, such as the Australian Taxation Office, banking/financial institutions, superannuation authorities, health insurance organisations, contracted service providers, business partners, and related companies of NumeroPro.
NumeroPro may also disclose personal information in special cases when NumeroPro believes, in good faith, that such action is reasonably necessary, for example:
- to conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process;
- to protect and defend NumeroPro’s rights or property;
- to enforce NumeroPro’s contractual arrangements; or
- to protect the interests of NumeroPro’s clients or others.
NumeroPro will take seriously any unauthorised or accidental disclosure of personal information.
8. Disclosure of personal information overseas
NumerPro holds your personal information on servers located primarily in Australia.
In providing our services to you, it may be necessary for NumeroPro to, on occasion, disclose your personal information to overseas recipients. An example of a situation in which we may transfer personal information overseas is the provision of personal information to recipients using a web-based email account where data is stored on an overseas server. Where your personal information is disclosed to an overseas recipient, NumerPro takes care and caution to ensure that the recipient takes the security and confidentiality of your personal information as seriously as it does.
It is not practicable to list every country to which NumeroPro may provide personal information as this will vary depending on the circumstances. If you wish to find out which countries, if any, your personal information has been given to please contact NumeroPro using the contact details set out in section 14 of this Privacy Policy.
