Why We Are Providing This Information

This Privacy Policy explains how Turing Dynamics, a division of Caerleon Advisory Pty Ltd (ABN 21 135 826 783), collects, holds, uses, and discloses personal information when you interact with our website and associated public-facing services, including editorial content, contact channels, email updates, and public social media accounts (together, the Services).

We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. This policy is intended to help visitors, subscribers, prospective clients, business contacts, supplier personnel, job applicants, and other individuals who interact with us understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how they can exercise their privacy rights.

In this policy, personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is true or not and whether it is recorded in a material form or not.

The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with the Services and with us. We generally collect only the information reasonably necessary for our business activities, communications, legal obligations, and website operations.

If you choose to provide sensitive information to us, or if it becomes reasonably necessary for a specific interaction and we are permitted to collect it, we will handle it in accordance with applicable law. Where required, we will obtain your consent before collecting or using sensitive information.

Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the information is handled in a manner consistent with applicable privacy laws. However, overseas recipients may be subject to foreign laws that do not provide the same protections as Australian law.

How We Hold, Secure, and Retain Personal Information

We may hold personal information in a range of formats, including cloud systems, databases, email systems, document repositories, and, where relevant, hard copy records. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to resolve disputes, to enforce our arrangements, or to meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting obligations. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to destroy it or de-identify it where appropriate.
