KM Develop Pty Ltd (‘KM Develop, ‘we’ or ‘our’) understands the importance of keeping any personal information we may receive about you secure and confidential. This privacy policy sets out how KM Develop collects, uses, manages and discloses personal information and how KM Develop aims to protect the privacy of your personal information.

Privacy Act and personal information
The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (‘Privacy Act’) and the relevant privacy principles under the Privacy Act regulate how private sector organisations can collect, store, manage, use, disclose and provide access to personal information.
For the purposes of the Privacy Act, personal information is information or an opinion, whether true or not and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.
Reasons for collecting personal information
KM Develop collects personal information primarily for the purpose of providing our services and conducting our businesses. This may involve collecting personal information from you to:
- provide information to you, an associated entity or a third party
- provide advice to you, an associated entity or a third party
- consider procurement of services from you
- provide you with access to our website and other online services
- provide our publications to you
- respond to queries you submit to us
- provide you with information about our services that may be of interest to you
- administer accounting, billing and other internal administrative services
- comply with our legal requirements under any applicable laws, including anti-money laundering legislation and any other legal requirements with which we must comply.
You are not required to provide your personal information to us. However if you choose not to provide personal information to us where requested (or provide inaccurate or incomplete information), we may not be able to provide services to you or in the case of an external administration, deal with your claim. KM Develop will use the personal information for the primary purpose and potentially for a permissible secondary purpose where:
- you have consented to that secondary purpose
- it would be reasonably expected to be used for the secondary purpose
- the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose, or
- otherwise allowed by legislation.

In the case of prospective employees, your photo may be taken.
How KM Develop collects personal information
KM Develop collects personal information by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive way. Generally, KM Develop will collect this personal information directly from you, for example by requesting that you provide the information when you:
- fill out an application form
- submit an online form to us
- enter into an agreement with us
- engage in social media with us
- correspond with us
- subscribe to a distribution list.
There may be other occasions when we collect personal information about you or from other sources, such as from a publicly maintained record or from an information services provider, for example where we are required to verify your identity under anti money laundering legislation.
Disclosure of your personal information by KM Develop
From time to time we may need to disclose your personal information to a third party. The types of third parties to which we may disclose personal information include:
- your financial, legal or other professional advisers or other persons you have authorised to act on your behalf
- service providers we engage to provide custody, administration, technology, auditing, mailing, printing or other services
- regulatory or government authorities (where required by law)
- our professional advisers (including legal and accounting firms, auditors, consultants and other advise
- our related companies.
Any such disclosures will be made on a confidential basis and, where possible, will require the third party to comply with appropriate privacy obligations.
Some of the recipients to whom KM Develop may disclose your personal information may be based overseas. KM Develop will only disclose your personal information on receipt of your consent. Your personal information may be shared for business related purposes with or related entities, our agents and third party suppliers that are located in Singapore, the Philippines and the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong). Such overseas recipients may not be bound by the Privacy Act. On granting your consent, you acknowledge that by consenting to KM Develop disclosing your personal information to overseas recipients, Australian Privacy Principle 8.1 will not apply to the disclosure. This means that KM Develop will not be required to take reasonable steps in the circumstances to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation that personal information and as a result KM Develop may not be liable under the Privacy Act if the recipient does not act consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Except for the above disclosures, KM Develop will not sell, rent, trade or otherwise supply to third parties any personal information obtained from you unless you consent.
