What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?
Your Personal Information Is Important To Us
Rolling Start Pty LTD ABN 93 660 208 935 operates rollingstart.com.au (the “Site”). Rolling Start Pty LTD and its associated entities (“us”, “we”, or “our”) recognises that your privacy is very important and believes that information received by us that can be used to identify an individual user (“you”, “your”, “User”) should be treated with respect.
This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of the Site. We use your personal information only for providing and improving the Site.
By using the Rolling Start Site and/or Services covered by this Policy and providing Personal Information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your account information, and you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Relevant Regulations
Rolling Start is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs”) and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”). Accordingly, we have adopted a privacy policy to comply with the APPs which includes policies and procedures to protect the personal information that we collect about you.
International regulatory expectations on requirements for collecting and sharing personal data have continued to evolve and guidance from Data Protection Authorities have further clarified expectations around how cookies and online collection of personal data is obtained. This can be seen through European laws, such as General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and Europe’s ePrivacy Directive, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), a data privacy law which applies to certain businesses that collect personal information from California residents.
These and other international regulations and legislation continue to evolve in terms of collecting, using, and retention of personal data. Rolling Start is committed to complying with applicable data protection laws, as is reasonable in the usual course of business.

How Do We Collect Information About You?
Directly from you: We usually collect your personal information from you directly when we speak to you on the telephone, when we correspond with you by letter or email, when we meet with you in person, if you provide us with documents that contain your personal information or you provide information to us through our website. When we collect personal information from you we will do it in a lawful, fair and non-intrusive way.
From third parties: Sometimes we will collect your personal information from a third party. We will only do this if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect the information from you directly or if we are required or authorised by an Australian law or court/tribunal order to do so.
Information you give us about someone else: If you supply us with the personal information of a third party, such as a spouse, colleague or friend, we accept that information on the condition that you have all the rights required from that third party to provide that personal information to us to use for our functions and activities.
Dealing with us anonymously: If you wish to deal with us without giving us any of your personal information, you may do so on an initial enquiry. However, we may not be able to give you advice or otherwise represent you unless you provide us with all necessary personal information.

Cookies are small text files which are transferred from our websites, applications and services and stored on your devices. We use cookies to help us provide you with a personalised service and to help make our Site and services better for you. Our cookies may be session cookies (temporary cookies that identify and track users within our Site which are deleted when you close your browser or leave your session) and targeting cookies (cookies which enable our Site to “remember” who you are and to remember your preference within our Site, as well as which may be used in targeted marketing and remarketing as mentioned below).
Receipt Of Unsolicited Personal Information
If we receive personal information that we did not take any active steps to collect, we will determine whether we would have been permitted to collect that information as part of pursuing our functions and activities.
We will destroy or de-identify unsolicited personal information that we would not collect as part of our functions and activities if it is lawful to do so and in accordance with our document destruction policy. If the information is of the type that we would collect to pursue our functions and activities it will be protected by our privacy policies and procedures.
What Do We Do With Your Personal Information?
Generally, we will only use or disclose your personal information for the purpose that we collected it for.
However, we may use or disclose your personal information for secondary purposes that relate to our functions and activities if we have your consent do so or without your consent if the APPs permit us to do so, for example if you would reasonably expect us to use your information for the secondary purpose. We will only use your personal information for a secondary purpose if it is related to the reason why we collected your personal information.
We will only use your sensitive information for the purpose for which we collected the sensitive information about you.
In some circumstances we are permitted or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order to use or disclose your personal and sensitive information. For example, if our disclosure of your information will reduce or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety or our disclosure is in response to any unlawful activity.
Any personal information given to Rolling Start Pty LTD will not be shared, sold, or given to any third parties, unless required or authorised under the exemptions set out in the Privacy Act.

ASIC Requirements

Our suppliers and service providers may be located in Australia or overseas.
Our arrangements with our suppliers and service providers ensure that at all times we maintain control of the information stored on our server and prohibit our suppliers and service providers from using or disclosing personal information for purposes other than providing services to us.

Generally, we will not charge fees for giving access to personal information. However, we reserve the right to charge reasonable fees where requests for personal information contain complications or are resource intensive.
If you have any questions about the data we have collected from you, you can make a subject access request, or request erasure (forget me) by contacting our Data Privacy Officer by email at bradw@globalaccess.co.za or by post at 55 Ailsacraig Ramble, Kinross WA 6020.
