Generally, AGSPEC will obtain consent before it discloses any personal information other than as specified in this policy. Such consent may be given expressly, or it may be implied by conduct.

AGSPEC takes reasonable steps to protect personal information it holds from misuse, loss and interference and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
