COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Aristocrat only collects Personal Information to the extent necessary to fulfil one or more of its functions and activities, and will do so only by fair and reasonable means. We make every attempt possible to only collect personal information directly from the individual to whom the information relates.

Personal Information collected by Aristocrat may include information you provide or volunteer when using this Website and information obtained from other sources, such as public records or bodies or private organisations. In a few areas on our Website and online customer support tools, we ask you to provide information that will enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with technical support issues or to follow up with you after your visit. It is completely optional for you to participate. For example, we request information from you when you:

• register on the Website;
• provide feedback in an online survey;
• submit your resume;
• request information from Aristocrat; or
• submit comments via the "Contact Us" form.

In each of the instances above, we may ask for your name, e-mail address, phone number, address, business name, position and contact telephone number, as well as other similar Personal Information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. If we ever ask for significantly different information we will inform you.

If you do not provide certain requested Personal Information to Aristocrat, Aristocrat may not be able to provide you with access to and use of this Website, provide you with access to Aristocrat’s other products and services, or to fulfil one or more of its functions and activities applicable to you.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

The Personal Information you provide will be kept confidential and used to support your customer relationship with Aristocrat. Among other things, we want to help you quickly find information on the Website and alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new products and services from Aristocrat.

Aristocrat is not in the business of selling personal information to third parties. We will only record your e-mail address if you send us a message. Your e-mail address will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it and it will not be added to a mailing list or used for any other purpose without your consent.

Aristocrat may use and disclose (and you are deemed to consent to Aristocrat using and disclosing) your Personal Information: (a) for the primary purpose for which it was collected and any related purposes, including where necessary or desirable to: (i) provide this Website and associated material and services to you; (ii) manage Aristocrat’s relationship with you; and, (iii) obtain professional, financial, technical, administrative or other advice and services in connection with the operation of Aristocrat’s business; (b) for direct marketing, including to provide you with information about: (i) this Website and associated material and services; (ii) Aristocrat’s other products and services; and (iii) information about products and services available from Aristocrat’s affiliated entities; (d) to investigate, prevent or take action regarding any breach or suspected breach by you of the Terms of Use or the rights of any person; and, (e) for any purpose to which you subsequently consent from time to time.

Aristocrat may also use or disclose Personal Information where:

• Aristocrat believes that the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious or imminent threat to an individual’s life, health or safety, or a serious threat to public safety.
• Aristocrat uses or discloses information for an investigation or reporting on suspected unlawful activity.
• the information is legally required or authorised to be used or disclosed.
• the use or disclosure is required to allow an enforcement body to perform its duties.

Agents or contractors of Aristocrat who have access to your Personal Information and prospect information are required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for Aristocrat. Aristocrat may enhance or merge your information collected at its Website with data from third parties for the purpose of marketing products or services to you, but we will ask for your consent to do this.

This Website does not provide facilities for the secure transmission of information across the Internet. Users should be aware that there are inherent risks transmitting information across the Internet.

ARISTOCRAT WILL NOT DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION FOR USE IN MARKETING WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT

Your Personal Information (such as name, address and phone number) or your order and the products you purchase will not be given or sold to any outside organization for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent. Your Personal Information may be shared with agents or contractors of Aristocrat for the purpose of performing services for Aristocrat.

TRANS-BORDER DATA FLOWS

Aristocrat may transfer (and you are deemed to consent to Aristocrat transferring) your Personal Information outside of Australia in the following circumstances:

• where Aristocrat reasonably believes that the person who will receive your Personal Information is subject to effective data protection obligations;
• where the transfer is necessary for the performance of any contract between you and Aristocrat or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures;
• where the transfer is for your benefit and it is impractical for Aristocrat to obtain your consent, but if it were practical you would be likely to consent; and
• as required or authorised by or under law, and where you subsequently consent from time to time.

SECURITY OF INFORMATION

Aristocrat will take reasonable steps to protect and secure your personal information to ensure your information is protected from misuse, loss, theft, and unauthorised modification, access or disclosure. Aristocrat takes reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify any Personal Information that is no longer needed for any purpose.

ACCURACY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Aristocrat endeavours to ensure that the Personal Information it collects, uses or discloses, is accurate, complete and up to date. We seek your assistance by asking you to contact us if your Personal Information changes or you believe the information held on file is incomplete.

ACCESS TO AND CORRECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Under the Privacy Law, individuals have a right to complete access to their records. You may (free of charge) request that Aristocrat confirm whether it holds any Personal Information about you and, where applicable, request that Aristocrat provide you with a copy of your Personal Information. Aristocrat will make available to you, in most situations, any Personal Information it holds about you. Aristocrat is permitted to charge you for reasonable costs incurred in providing you with access to your information.

In certain circumstances, Aristocrat may not be able to provide access, such as where:

• access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others;
• we are required by a law enforcement agency to withhold the information;
• the information may affect current legal proceedings;
• the information may affect the health or safety of another individual.

If you are able to establish that your Personal Information is not accurate, complete or up to date, Aristocrat will take reasonable steps to correct such Personal Information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date. If you and Aristocrat are unable to agree about whether your Personal Information is accurate, complete and up to date and you request that Aristocrat associate with your Personal Information a statement claiming that such Personal Information is not accurate, complete or up to date, Aristocrat will take reasonable steps to do so.
