AILA Privacy Policy: Your Privacy Is Important To Us

The Australian Insurance Law Association has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 and associated amendments.

The Association is bound by the National Privacy Principles.

AILA reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any updates will be available on the Associations website (www.aila.com.au) so that you are always aware of the sort of information collected, how the information may be used, and under what circumstances it may be disclosed to the Association.

If at any time the Association is required by law to release information about you or your organisation, AILA must cooperate fully.

What sort of information does AILA collect?

AILA collects personal information about you when:

• you become a member of the Association
• you register to attend an event

What happens if you do not provide the information?

If you do not provide the information required, you may not be able to become a member or you may not be able to receive the information or service you requested by the method you have requested. 

This includes changing your contact details for new employment.

How is your information used by AILA?
