We treat all personal information collected by us in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and this Policy.

This information is collected from a range of sources including:

• through our website;

• through any of our other business activities or events.

 Personal information collected by us includes:

• your contact details such as your mobile number, telephone number and email address;

• your reasons for becoming a customer;

• your transactional data;

• your preferences and opinions relating to our products;

• your payment details including your credit card information; and

• all logs, which may include information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, clickstream data, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time spent on any pages of our site and other log related information relating to your use of our website.

 We endeavour to only collect personal information about you from you, where it is reasonable and practical to do so.

Use of personal information

Much of the data we collect is aggregated, and this information is effectively anonymous to us. In general, we use personal information for providing, evaluating, improving, personalising and developing our business and our products. More specifically we use personal information for:

• improving customer satisfaction;

• our internal research and statistical purposes (including market segmentation and customer value analysis); and

• enabling us to forward to you other information or material which we believe may be of interest to you (each person may opt-out of our information sharing communications).

Protecting your personal information

Steps we take

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information we hold (including your personal information) from:

misuse, interference and loss; and

• unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.

The precautionary steps we take to protect personal information include:

adopting measures to protect our computer systems and networks for storing, processing and transmitting personal information;

• protecting our information data transmissions though encryption

• adoption of procedural and personnel measures for limiting access to personal information by our staff;

• regularly reviewing our information collection, storage and processing practices; and

• such other security measures we consider reasonable and appropriate from time to time.

Notwithstanding that we use our best endeavours to protect all personal information we collect and hold, we unfortunately cannot guarantee the complete security of the personal information.

De-identifying and deleting personal information

When your personal information is no longer required to be kept by us, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or delete the personal information in a confidential manner.

Disclosure of personal information

We do not disclose your personal information to any third party without your personal consent, except where the personal information is aggregated and anonymous or where a third party that the information is being disclosed to requires it to assist us in an advisory, technical or services sense.

We will only disclose personal information, other than as mentioned above, as legally required – either upon valid court order, pursuant to the Privacy Act, or where compelled by a law enforcement or governmental agency.

You will be notified as soon as reasonably possible, where allowable by law, if any request is made for your information to be disclosed.

Overseas disclosure

Subject to 6.2 and 6.3, we will only disclose personal information to an overseas recipient other than our outsourced international information technology service providers if:

• you consent to the transfer; or

• the disclosure of the information is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure all overseas recipients do not breach the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s) and are subject to laws or a scheme substantially similar to the APP’s.

Disclosure to data storage providers

We may hold personal information in outsourced international information technology service providers (ISP), including cloud computing providers and data storage providers.
