  • You may be unable to seek redress overseas

If you withdraw consent, Xtend Barre will not rely on this consent when dealing with your personal information going forward.

18. Anonymity

You have the option of not identifying yourself or using a pseudonym when dealing with Xtend Barre provided that is it lawful and practicable.

It is Xtend Barre’s policy to enable you to access Xtend Barre’s website and make general phone queries without having to identify yourself and to enable you to respond to Xtend Barre’s surveys anonymously.

Xtend Barre will take reasonable steps to ensure Xtend Barre’s records of personal information are accurate, up to date and complete.
However, the accuracy of information depends to a large extent on the information you provide.  If you do not give Xtend Barre all the personal information Xtend Barre may require, or the personal information provided is inaccurate or incomplete, then the products, services and information Xtend Barre provide may be affected.

If you think there is something wrong with the information Xtend Barre holds about you please contact the Privacy Officer to:

  • let Xtend Barre know if there are any errors; and
  • keep Xtend Barre up-to-date with any changes,
  • and Xtend Barre will try to correct your personal information.

If Xtend Barre does correct your personal information and Xtend Barre has previously disclosed your personal information to a third party, upon your request, Xtend Barre will notify that third party of the correction unless it is impracticable or unlawful to do so.
