Only Grain Market staff has access to data file information. Hard copies of any information are stored in locked offices and equivalent secure off-site storage areas.

What if you wish to Access your Personal Information?

Upon written request, clients may access the personal information Grain Market currently holds. Grain Market will allow access to your personal information to the extent possible. However, there are times where the organisation is not in a position to do so (e.g. where it would be unlawful to do so). If Grain Market denies you access to this information, Grain Market will notify you of this refusal and the basis for it.

To cover administration costs of providing access to your personal information a charge ($25.00) may be applied.
