* destruction; and
* other forms of unlawful processing.These measures may include access controls, password protection, secure technology providers, restricted permissions, confidentiality arrangements, appropriate record-management procedures and security review.No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. PACIFIC therefore cannot guarantee absolute security but will maintain safeguards proportionate to the nature of the information and associated risks.Where required by law, PACIFIC will assess, document and report qualifying personal-data breaches to the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals.9. DATA RETENTIONPACIFIC retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, contractual, regulatory, accounting, taxation, insurance and dispute-resolution requirements.Typical retention periods may include:* general enquiries that do not develop into an engagement: normally up to 24 months following the most recent meaningful communication;

* marketing information: until consent is withdrawn, an objection is made, the information is no longer relevant or continued processing is no longer lawful;

Requests are ordinarily handled without charge, although a reasonable fee may be permitted where a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.11. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEPACIFIC does not currently use personal information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.PACIFIC may use artificial-intelligence-assisted and digital tools to support research, ideation, administration, creative development, analysis, visualisation, workflow or service delivery.Where such tools are used, PACIFIC seeks to apply proportionate human oversight, confidentiality controls, data minimisation and appropriate safeguards.
Confidential client information or personal information will not knowingly be submitted to external artificial-intelligence systems in a manner inconsistent with contractual obligations, applicable law or PACIFIC’s authorised purposes.
If our use of automated decision-making materially changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any additional information required by law.12.
