Disclaimer & Privacy Policy

ICN conducts a business matching service and obtains information from local industry participants, for example manufacturers of products or suppliers of services, which they provide and are prepared to release to other local industry participants about their particular capabilities or experience and the goods they produce or the services they provide.

The information provided by industry participants is stored in a database maintained by ICN which ICN consultants may access for the purpose of identifying opportunities for collaboration or consortium development or other business matching of local industry participants based on what goods, services, capabilities or experience the industry participant has stated it is looking for when registering with the business matching service and providing information about themselves.

The information provided to ICN by the industry participant is generally of a business rather than personal nature; however some information may be private in nature.

ICN recognises the importance of your privacy and understands your concerns about the security of the personal information you provide to us.

ICN complies with the National Privacy Principles (“NPP’s”) as contained in the Privacy Act 1988. The NPP’s detail how personal information is collected, used, stored and destroyed and how an individual may gain access to personal information held about them.

This policy details how ICN manages your personal information, sets out some of your privacy rights in relation to personal information, and advises how you can contact us with privacy queries. Our policy is not aimed at curtailing the flow of business or business information, but simply ensuring personal information is handled in accordance with the Privacy Laws.

Collecting Personal Information About You

In the course of doing business, ICN endeavours to collect business information only. However, the collection of personal information in some instances is unavoidable.

The type of personal information collected will depend on what services you have asked ICN to provide, or may be interested in, and may include names, addresses, and telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses.

How Does ICN Use Your Personal Information?

ICN may use and disclose your personal information if the disclosure is necessary to complete the services ICN provides.

Please note that you may have your information removed from ICN's databases at any time by notifying us.
In some cases ICN may disclose your personal information to other third parties, but only if it is required to complete the transaction you have entered into. ICN may also disclose your personal information where ICN has sought your consent or as is otherwise allowed by law.
