Privacy Policy

  • This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected by CRA. In broad terms, “personal information” means any information about an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

  • CRA collects a range of personal information in the course of its operations, for purposes that are directly related to its core functions or activities. CRA collects personal information about you for the following reasons:

    1. Because we need it to provide a product or service you have requested;

    2. Because you have provided it to us;

    3. Because of your relationship with us;

    4. For any other purpose related to the above.

  • CRA collects personal information which is given to us by you. You may do this because you wish to receive a particular service, or because you wish to give us feedback or make a complaint.

    When CRA collects personal information from you, we will generally inform you of the reason the information is being collected and how we will use it (unless the reason for collection is self-evident).

  • CRA may use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

    1. To provide a service that you’ve requested;

    2. To provide technical support, or respond to any enquiries;

    3. If permitted or required by law;

    4. It is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to a person’s life or health; or

    5. If you consent to the disclosure (this may be express or implied).

    In providing and managing the services offered by CRA, CRA may need to make your information available to third party services and content providers, including providers of cloud services, website hosts, and other companies. These third parties may be located overseas in countries including the USA, Europe and Singapore.

    CRA will ensure that any third parties who receive your personal information from CRA follow the same standards and obligations set out in this Privacy Policy, and only use your information for the specific purpose and service they are providing to you or CRA.

  • Where possible, you may interact with CRA anonymously should you choose to do so. For example, if you wish to provide feedback without requiring a response from CRA, you will not be required to provide a full name or email address.

    However, in some cases it will not be practicable to interact with you anonymously, or it may be impossible to provide the service you are requesting without some form of personal information.

  • Individuals are entitled to obtain access to records that contain personal information about them, except to the extent that CRA is required or authorised to refuse access under any law of the Commonwealth that provides for access by persons to documents (e.g. the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth)). Individuals can obtain information regarding access to records that contain personal information about them by contacting the CRA Privacy Contact Officer (see 9. Relevant contacts below). Individuals may also seek the correction of any information held by CRA. CRA will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information it holds is accurate, relevant to its purpose, up to date, complete and not misleading.

  • Depending on how we received your personal information, CRA may store it in electronic and hard copy format. CRA takes such steps as are reasonable and practicable to ensure that the personal information it holds is protected against interference, unauthorised access and other forms of misuse. Measures taken may be physical, electronic, or procedural. CRA staff are advised to treat personal information with care, and to use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and current laws.

  • If you think that an act or practice of CRA has interfered with your privacy you may make a complaint to CRA. You will need to identify yourself and provide your complaint in written form addressed to the CRA Privacy Contact Officer (see Relevant contacts below).

    The CRA Privacy Contact Officer will investigate your complaint and will endeavour to provide a written response within 30 days of receipt of the complaint setting out CRA’s decision.

    If you are dissatisfied with CRA’s response to your complaint you can take your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (see below). The Australian Information Commissioner may then investigate and attempt to conciliate the matter.
