The kinds of personal information we collect and hold will depend upon the type of products and services we provide to you or obtain from you. We may collect your personal information:
- when you request a product or service from us, request a quote for a product or enter a competition; and
- when we make a record of any communication and other interaction you have with us (including telephone, email and online).
The type of information we collect and hold about you may include your name, address, telephone numbers, email address, date of birth, identification information and organisation.
Covid-19
Visits to our premises are currently by appointment only. Upon arrival to Premises, all visitors are required to sign in or scan the QR codes provided with their full name and phone number. This information is required by law to assist the Australian Government for contact tracing. Records will be kept for 28 days and will be available to the Australian Government should contact tracers need to look back into who was potentially exposed to a confirmed case. More information is available by visiting the Victorian Government website.
What happens if you do not provide the information we request?
The personal information we request is generally optional, but if you choose not to provide personal information to us, we may not be able to fulfill your request or provide you with the service you require. Sometimes, however, there are situations where we are required by law to collect certain personal information from you and, if this is the case, we will take reasonable steps to inform you of the law that imposes this requirement.
Why do we collect your personal information, and what do we do with it?
We collect, use and disclose your personal information to carry on our business; to provide, administer, improve and personalise our services; to identify and interact with you; to let you know about other products and services which might interest you; to assess and improve the quality of our products and services; to protect our lawful interests; to deal with your concerns and enquiries; and to assist us generally in managing transactions with you, suppliers, consumers and others.
We may contact you by telephone, mail, electronically or otherwise to provide you with marketing, advertising or other material about our products and services we think you might be interested in, or to follow up on your interest in particular products and services, unless or until you tell us not to or we are restricted by law. We will not disclose your personal information to market research agencies.
We may be required or authorised by law to disclose your personal information. For example, we may disclose your personal information to a court in response to a subpoena or to a relevant taxation agency. We may also disclose information to other persons where you have provided your consent for us to do so.
How do we hold and protect your personal information?
We hold personal information electronically. We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, modification, or unauthorised access, use and disclosure. These steps include access control for our buildings, confidentiality obligations imposed on our employees and service providers, and the use of security measures for computer system access.
Once we no longer require your personal information for any of the purposes for which it was collected we will, subject to any legal obligations and responsibilities, take reasonable steps to de-identify your personal information.
