private sector organisations such as Gunnersen Pty LTD come into effect on
21 December 2001. The provisions regulate the collection, storage and use of
personal information obtained by Gunnersen Pty LTD and also operate to give
Customers greater control over the way information about them is handled by

Privacy Principles ["NPPs"] which govern how Gunnersen Pty LTD must
handle personal information. The NPPs cover:
collection (NPP 1);

sensitive information (NPP 10).
Details of the NPPs and guidelines to assist Customers are
available on request.
Gunnersen Pty LTD will ensure that all reasonable measures
are taken to make Customers aware of the fact that personal information about
them is being collected, of the purposes for which that information is being
collected and of the third parties (if any) to whom that information is being
passed. Gunnersen Pty LTD will also respect the new legislative restrictions
on the use that can be made of personal information.
Customers also have the right to gain access to personal information
about them which is held by Gunnersen Pty LTD and to have that information
corrected or annotated if the information is incorrect, out-of-date or incomplete.
Customers may also complain to the Federal Privacy Commissioner if they think
information about them is not being properly handled.

and retains personal information which is relevant to the ongoing trading relationship
