Access to Information
Upon request we will provide you with all the information we have collected from you. We may charge a fee to provide this information if it involves over one hour to prepare.
Anonymity

You may also anonymously browse our publicly-available content on our websites by choosing not to log in or register. Personally-identifiable information is only collected with your consent, or when you send us information such as in an e-mail or website form.

Transfer of Information
JMRIT will occasionally transfer information to third parties for the purposes of providing services to you. This sometimes occurs automatically, as we rely third parties to provide some of our technical services such as credit card processing.
All businesses we deal with have a Privacy Policy that protects your information according to the Privacy Act 1988, or have a non-disclosure agreement in place to ensure your information is protected.
JMRIT will not transfer information to a recipient in a foreign country if the information will not have appropriate protection.
