DKSH Commitment to Privacy Protection

Protecting the security and privacy of your personal information is important to DKSH. We conduct our business in compliance with applicable privacy protection laws. This Privacy Protection Policy applies in both Australia and in New Zealand and will tell you what information DKSH may collect, how DKSH uses and safeguards that information, and with whom we may share it. Our Privacy Protection Policy may change from time to time. We will post changes to our Privacy Protection Policy on our web page. Please check our web page regularly to keep up-to-date.

General Data Protection Policy

Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament sets out detailed rules on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. Limited to the circumstances where DKSH conducts an activity with you and which falls inside the scope of European Union law, i.e. the offering of goods or services to you within the European Union or the monitoring of your behaviour which takes place within the Union, the DKSH Group Data Protection Policy will apply. For more information about the DKSH Group Data Protection Policy, please email us.

Notifiable Data Breach Reporting

DKSH complies with the Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme (NDBS) in Australia. At the date of the creation of this document, there is no similar requirement in New Zealand however DKSH will take all reasonable and prudent steps if a data breach occurs in New Zealand. Further, it is expect that notifiable data breaches may become law in New Zealand and DKSH will comply with those laws, once known and disseminated. In respect of a data breach in Australia, if there is unauthorised access to your personal information and it is likely that serious harm will result, DKSH will take steps to prevent that harm. If we are not able to prevent that serious harm, you will be notified by us directly. We will also notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. For more information about the NDBS, please see the website of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at https://www.oaic.gov.au/individuals/data-breach-guidance.
