    you have requested or have already purchased. Your consent can be express or

    with personal information that we have not specifically requested.

    mechanisms are in place and undergo routine review and testing.

    We may store your information in cloud or other types of networked or electronic
    storage. As electronic or networked storage can be accessed from various countries

    information may be held. If your information is stored in this way, disclosures may
    occur in countries other than those listed.

    Accessing your personal information
    If you request it, we will provide you a summary of any personal information held
    about you in accordance with our obligations under the
    Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). If you
    request detailed information, Glass Assist may charge a fee for the retrieval of this
    information.

    (usually within 15 business days). If the retrieval of information involves accessing
    archived information and will take longer than normal, we will endeavour to provide
    you with an estimated timeframe.
    Under some circumstances, we may refuse you access to personal information
    where denying access is required or authorised by law, for example if access would
    pose a threat to life or the health of anyone, where the request for access is
    regarded as frivolous or vexatious, or where information relates to anticipated or
    legal proceedings. If you are denied access to your information, we will explain why.
    How we keep your information up to date
    We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate
    and up to date and we will correct this as soon as we know otherwise. You have the
    right to ask us to correct your information. If you learn that your information needs to
    be updated, you should contact us as soon as possible and we will process your

    request. If we refuse to correct your information, we will explain why in writing, and
    advise you of the mechanisms available to you to complain. You also have a right for
    a statement to be attached to your personal information if Glass Assist disagrees
    with your request to correct the information held.
