What personal information we collect about you in the course of our activities,
We collect and hold personal information about you. Your personal information is collected for the purpose of providing you with the service/s you have requested. The nature of personal information we collect from you will depend on what you have provided us with. Generally the type of personal information we collect and hold depends on the service requested and includes:
* your name, telephone number, and e-mail address.
* Newsletter and Promotions Subscription List: your name, address, and e-mail address.
* Coaching/Consulting Services: your name, your mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, marital status, children/family, work/job description, your background and additional relevant information to deliver quality coaching.
We collect most personal information about you, directly from you. We will only collect personal information from you that are necessary for one or more of our functions and activities. We will only collect personal information from you by lawful and fair means, without being unreasonably intrusive, such as when you deal with us over the telephone, send us an e-mail or letter, visit our web site, have contact with us personally, etc. At or before the time we collect personal information from you, we will take reasonable steps to inform you why we are collecting that personal information, who else we might disclose that personal information to and what will happen if you do not provide personal information to us.
Wherever it is lawful and practicable, we will give you the option of not identifying yourself or not providing personal information when dealing with us. However, failure to provide full and complete information we request may mean we are unable to provide you with the services you have requested completely and properly. Once we hold your personal information we will take reasonable steps to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. We will de-identify and destroy the personal information we hold about you once our legal obligations cease.

What about sensitive personal information?
In certain circumstances in delivering personal services we may request sensitive information from you. we will ask
you to consent to our proposed uses of the information. We may also collect personal information incidentally. By
providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal information incidentally, you consent to us using the information
subject to applicable laws.

How we use your personal information
We will only use the information you provided for the purpose of providing you with the service/s you have requested. Your personal information will only be used for the main purpose of collection, except where you consent to us using that personal information for another purpose, where the other purpose is related to the main purpose and you would reasonably expect us to use the personal information for that other purpose, or where it is permitted or required by law, or we reasonably believe it is necessary on health and public safety grounds to use the personal information for another purpose.
From time to time, we may also use your contact details for marketing communications activities. We respect your choice to opt out of these activities. Should you decide you do not wish to receive marketing or promotional materials from us at any time, please let us know by sending TPPA an e-mail or by phoning Mandy Lamkin on (02) 9560 0302.

Will we share your personal information to outside parties?
We will not disclose your personal information unless the disclosure:
* is required, or allowed under law, or in connection with legal proceedings;
* has your consent (expressly or implied);
* is to organisations with whom we have a relationship who are bound by strict confidentiality. We will only provide these organisations the information they need to deliver the service. You agree that not all recipients of your personal information may have privacy policies equivalent to TTPA's and you consent to the disclosure of your personal information for those purposes.

Access to your personal information

We may allow an inspection of your personal information in person, or provide copies or a summary of relevant documents, depending on what is the most appropriate in the circumstances. Any charge we make for providing access will be reasonable.
Your request to access your personal information will be dealt with in a reasonable time. Note that we need not provide access to personal information if a request is frivolous, or where to provide access would pose a threat to health or public safety, unreasonable interference with another person's privacy, or be a breach of the law. If TTPA refuses access, we will provide you with reasons for doing so.
