The Australian Government's Energy Efficiency Opportunities program was established to encourage large energy-using businesses to improve their energy efficiency. It did this by requiring businesses to identify, evaluate and report publicly on cost effective energy savings opportunities. On 11 September 2014, the Energy Efficiency Opportunities (Repeal) Bill 2014 received Royal Assent. The repeal has a retrospective commencement clause and is effective from 29 June 2014. Accordingly, all obligations and activities under the EEO Program have ceased. However, JBS continue to investigate and implement effective energy saving opportunities across its Australia operations in accordance with our Environmental Policy.

JBS collects your personal information directly from you, through the completion of a manual or online form, and interactions or exchanges with you in person or by way of telephone, email, post or through the use of the JBS website.

There may be occasions when JBS collects your personal information from other sources such as from your spouse or guardian where your spouse has completed the relevant forms that JBS requires for the purposes of Tracing King Island Beef Producers.

Generally, JBS will only collect your personal information from sources other than you if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect your personal information from you.

JBS collects, holds, uses and discloses your personal information where it is reasonably necessary for the purposes of:

JBS may also use your personal information for purposes related to the above purposes and for which you would reasonably expect JBS to do so in the circumstances, or where you have consented, or the use is otherwise in accordance with law.

Where personal information is used or disclosed, JBS takes steps reasonable in the circumstances to ensure it is relevant to the purpose for which it is to be used or disclosed. You are under no obligation to provide your personal information to JBS. However, without certain information from you, JBS will not be able to provide customers with details regarding you and your farm, or the farm that you are affiliated with, and the website linked to the cuts of beef sourced from your farm, or the farm that you are affiliated with, will indicate that no personal information is available regarding you or the farm’s owner.

5 To whom does JBS disclose your personal information for the purposes of Tracing King Island Beef Producers?

JBS discloses your personal information for the purpose for which JBS collects it. That is, generally, JBS will only disclose your personal information for a purpose set out at paragraph 4.

JBS may disclose your personal information to overseas recipients in order to provide its King Island beef products to such recipients.

Recipients of such disclosures may be located in Singapore, the Middle East, the United States of America, and other key export markets from time to time.

Overseas recipients may have different privacy and data protection standards as compared with Australia. JBS has no way of verifying whether overseas recipients of your personal information are bound by a substantially similar privacy scheme to Australia. As such, if you consent to disclosure of your personal information for the purposes of enabling the Tracing of King Island Producers by consumers, if an overseas recipient handles the personal information in breach of the Privacy Act, JBS will not be liable under the Privacy Act and you will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act or under overseas laws.
