Collection of Personal Information
mapShed only collects personal information that is necessary for one or more of our functions or activities. The types of personal information we collect and the purposes for collection will depend upon the particular circumstances.

mapShed does not rent, sell or trade your personal information to or with any third party without your consent.
mapShed may disclose personal information outside of mapShed in the following circumstances:
(a) disclosures to external service providers who help us operate our business. Where relevant or if required, mapShed will take reasonable steps to require those service providers to comply with the Privacy Act and only use personal information for prescribed purposes;

Where appropriate, mapShed will seek your consent before complying with any third party requests for personal information.

If we hold personal information about you and that information is no longer needed by us, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify the relevant information.
Specifically our security measures include:
- Firewalls to prevent hacking of our databases
- Clauses in employee agreements requiring confidentiality
- The use of passwords to access database information
