To the extent required by the Privacy Act:

· Centrogen will not collect personal information about you unless that information is necessary for one or more of our functions or activities.
· Centrogen will collect personal information only by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive manner.
· When Centrogen collects personal information directly from you, we will take reasonable steps at or before the time of collection to ensure that you are aware of certain key matters, such as the purposes for which we are collecting the information, the Organisations (or types of Organisations) to which we would normally disclose information of that kind, the fact that you are able to access the information and how to contact us (or example, where personal information is collected on a form, we will generally include a written privacy statement on the form which sets out these details);
· Centrogen will collect your personal information directly from you where it is reasonable and practicable to do so. Where Centrogen collects information about you from a third party, we will still take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the details set out above.

Use and disclosure of personal information by Centrogen

If Centrogen uses or discloses your personal information for a purpose (the "secondary purpose") other the main reason for which it was originally collected (the "primary purpose"), to the extent required by the Privacy Act, we will ensure that:
· the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose of collection (and directly related in the case of sensitive information), and you would reasonably expect that Centrogen would use or disclose your information in that way; or
· you have consented to the use or disclosure of your personal information for the secondary purpose; or
· the use or disclosure is required or authorised by or under law; or
· the use or disclosure is otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act (for example, as a necessary part of an investigation of suspected unlawful activity).

Data quality and security

To the extent required by the Privacy Act, Centrogen will take reasonable steps to:
· make sure that the personal information that we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date;
· protect the personal information that we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; and
· destroy or permanently de-identify personal information that is no longer needed for any purpose that is permitted by the Privacy Act.

Access and correction of your personal information

Please contact Centrogen if you would like to access or correct the personal information that we hold about you. Centrogen will generally provide you with access to your personal information if practicable, and will take reasonable steps to amend any personal information that is incorrect. In some circumstances, Monsanto may not permit access to your personal information, or may refuse to correct your personal information, in which case we will provide you with reasons for this decision.
