• THE PHONE GUY collected the information from you;
• you would reasonably expect THE PHONE GUY to use or disclose the information for that purpose;
• THE PHONE GUY provides you with an option to 'opt-out' of receiving direct marketing communications from us, and
• you have not made such an 'opt-out' request to us.

Destroying or de-identifying personal information
THE PHONE GUY will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information it holds if it no longer needs the information for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed under the APPs.

Verifying your identity
THE PHONE GUY must be satisfied that a request for personal information made by the individual concerned, or by another person who is authorised to make a request on their behalf, for example, as a legal guardian or authorised agent. It would generally be extremely difficult for THE PHONE GUY to deal with an anonymous request for personal information. However, it may be practicable to deal with a pseudonymous request, for example, where you have previously transacted under that pseudonym and can establish your identity as that individual. The steps required for THE PHONE GUY to verify your identity will depend on the circumstances. In particular, whether you are already known to or readily identifiable by THE PHONE GUY. The minimum amount of personal information needed to establish your identity will be sought. In a telephone call THE PHONE GUY may request information that can be checked against records held by us, such as your date of birth or address.
Refusal to give Access
Whilst every effort will be made by THE PHONE GUY to provide access in a manner that is as prompt, uncomplicated and inexpensive as possible, THE PHONE GUY may refuse to give you access to your personal information. There are a number of grounds upon which THE PHONE GUY can refuse to give you access to your personal information. These reasons may include (without limitation):
• if THE PHONE GUY reasonably believes that giving access would pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual, or to public health or public safety;
• giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;
• the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
• the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between you and THE PHONE GUY, and would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings;
• giving access would reveal the intentions of THE PHONE GUY in relation to negotiations with you in such a way as to prejudice those negotiations;
• giving access would be unlawful;
• denying access is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order;
• THE PHONE GUY has reason to suspect that unlawful activity, or misconduct of a serious nature, that relates to THE PHONE GUY's functions or activities has been, is being or may be engaged in and giving access would be likely to prejudice the taking of appropriate action in relation to the matter;
• giving access would be likely to prejudice one or more enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body; or
• giving access would reveal evaluative information generated within THE PHONE GUY in connection with a commercially sensitive decision making process.
