Before disclosing your personal information to an overseas third party, Padelground will first take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to your personal information; or that the recipient of the information is subject to a law, or binding scheme, that has the effect of protecting your personal information in a way that is substantially similar to the way in which the Australian Privacy Principles protect the information.

You have the option of not identifying yourself or using a pseudonym when dealing with Padelground provided that it is lawful and practicable.

It is Padelground's policy to enable you to access the Padelground website and make general phone queries without having to identify yourself and to enable you to respond to Padelground surveys anonymously. In some cases, however, if you don't provide Padelground with your personal information when requested, Padelground may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with our service.
You have the right, upon request, to access any of Padelground's records containing your personal information. To request access to your personal information please contact the Privacy Officer, set out at the end of this Policy.
Padelground will respond to your request to access your personal information within a reasonable period of time. On the basis that it is reasonable and practicable to do so, Padelground will give you access to the information requested.
If Padelground refuses your request to access personal information, Padelground will provide a written notice setting out the reasons for the refusal & how you can complain about the refusal.
When you make a request to access personal information, Padelground will require you to provide some form of identification (such as a driver's licence or passport) so Padelground can verify that you are the person to whom the information relates.
Padelground will take reasonable steps to ensure Padelground's records of personal information are accurate, up to date and complete.
However, the accuracy of information depends to a large extent on the information you provide. If you do not give Padelground all the personal information Padelground may require, or the personal information provided is inaccurate or incomplete, then the products, services and information Padelground provide may be affected.
If you think there is something wrong with the information Padelground holds about you, please contact the Privacy Officer. Padelground will respond to your request to correct your personal information in a reasonable period of time.
