What information does Vision collect about you?

Clients and prospective clients

When you enquire about our services or when you become a client of Vision, a record is made which includes your personal information.

The type of personal information that we collect will vary depending on the circumstances of collection and the kind of service that you request from us, but will typically include:

• your name, e-mail, postal address and other contact details;
• information about your employer or an organisation who you represent;
• your professional details; and
• any additional personal information you provide to us, or authorise us to collect, as part of your interaction with Vision.

Prospective employees or applicants

We collect personal information when recruiting personnel, such as your name, contact details, qualifications and work history. Generally, we will collect this information directly from you.

We may also collect personal information from third parties in ways which you would expect (for example, from recruitment agencies or referees you have nominated). Before offering you a position, we may collect additional details such as your tax file number and superannuation information and other information necessary to conduct background checks to determine your suitability for certain positions (for example, positions which involve working with children).

Other individuals

Vision may collect personal information about other individuals who are not clients of Vision. This includes customers and members of the public who participate in events we are involved with, individual service providers and contractors to Vision, and other individuals who interact with Vision on a commercial basis. The kinds of personal information we collect will depend on the capacity in which you are dealing with Vision. Generally, it would include details such as your name, contact details, and information regarding our interactions and transactions with you.

If you are participating in an event we are managing or delivering, we may take images or audio-visual recordings which identify you.

In limited circumstances, Vision may collect information which is considered sensitive information. For example, if you are injured at an event promoted or delivered by Vision we may collect health information about you in an emergency or otherwise with your consent.

You can always decline to give Vision any personal information we request, but that may mean we cannot provide you with some or all of the services you have requested. If you have any concerns about personal information we have requested, please let us know.
