If the User is not an EU Entity, "personal information" is defined by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) as “information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable: (a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and (b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.”
Definition [EU-only]
If the User is an EU Entity, "personal information" is defined as “any data that can be used to identify a living person directly or indirectly”.
Occasionally, TSUNO may collect certain of a User's personal information. TSUNO only collects personal information that is reasonably necessary for or related to TSUNO’s business or to facilitate the use of the Platform by Users.
The kind of information TSUNO collects will depend on a User's relationship with TSUNO (e.g. as a Platform user, customer, business partner, employee or contractor).
Generally, the only personal information TSUNO collects about a User is that information which a User chooses to disclose to TSUNO or which a User authorises TSUNO to obtain.
The type of information TSUNO collects may include a User/User’s:
- name and contact information (including telephone and mobile number, email address and residential and postal address);
- individual information (including age, gender, race, ethnicity, place of birth, language(s) spoken, personality type, disabilities, photographic identification, criminal history record and drug toxicology reports, membership or affiliation with an industry union);

Miscellaneous
Website cookies and usage information
When a User accesses TSUNO’s Platform, TSUNO may use software embedded in TSUNO’s Platform, and TSUNO may place small data files (or cookies) on a User's computer or other device to collect information about which pages a User views, how a User reach those pages, what a User does when a User visits a page, the length of time a User remains on the page and how TSUNO performs in providing content to a User. A cookie does not identify individuals personally, but it does identify computers.
A User can set a User's browser to notify a User when a User receives a cookie, and this will provide a User with an opportunity to either accept or reject it in each instance.
TSUNO may gather a User's IP address as part of TSUNO’s business activities and assist with any operational difficulties or support issues with TSUNO’s services. This information does not identify a User personally.
External links
The Platform may contain links to other websites.

Right to opt out of personal information use
TSUNO will comply with any request from a User to process or cease using their personal information data as soon as practicable.

TSUNO has obligations to take reasonable steps to correct personal information held by TSUNO if TSUNO is satisfied that it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading for the purpose for which it is held.
TSUNO will comply with any user's request to update and/or correct their personal information data within 28 days.
TSUNO may take reasonable steps to verify a User's identity before making such changes.
