Security

We take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is protected from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We may hold your information in either electronic or hard copy form. Personal information is destroyed or de-identified when no longer needed.
As our website is linked to the internet, and the internet is inherently insecure, we cannot provide any assurance regarding the security of transmission of information you communicate to us online. We also cannot guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. Accordingly, any personal information or other information which you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk.

Links

Our website may also contain links to the websites of third party providers of goods and services (Third Party websites). Those links are provided for convenience only, and may not be current or maintained. Arc cannot and will not be responsible for the privacy practices of those Third Party websites. If you have accessed Third Party websites through the Arc Infrastructure website and if those third parties collect information about you, Arc Infrastructure may also collect or have access to that information as part of our arrangements with those third parties.

Accessing and correcting your personal information

Arc Infrastructure will take reasonable precautions to ensure that the personal information it collects, uses and discloses is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, the accuracy of that information depends to a large extent on the information you provide. That's why Arc Infrastructure recommends that you:
  • let us know if there are any errors in your personal information; and
  • keep us up-to-date with changes to your personal information.

If you are a subscriber to one of the Arc Infrastructure website’s interactive facilities, you may change your personal details by using the relevant facility on the Arc Infrastructure website.

If you believe that personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
