(g) information you provide to us through customer surveys; and

(h) any other personal information that may be required to facilitate your dealings with us.

We collect personal information about individuals directly from that individual unless it is unreasonable or impracticable for us to do so. Information will generally be collected from the following sources:

(a) from prospective clients through our website or forms;

(b) through correspondence, emails or when you share information with us from other services;

5. Purposes of collection and holding

Purposes for which we may collect personal information (other than as required by law) include, but are not limited to:

(a) to operate, protect, improve and optimise our website, app, business and our users’ experience, such as to perform analytics, conduct research and for advertising and marketing;

(b) to send you service, support and administrative messages, reminders, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and information requested by you;

(c) to send you marketing and promotional messages and other information that may be of interest to you, including information sent by, or on behalf of, our business partners that we think you may find interesting;

(d) to administer rewards, surveys, contests, or other promotional activities or events sponsored or managed by us or our business partners; and

(e) to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes that we may have with any of our users, and enforce our agreements with third parties

6. Use and Disclosure

We only use personal information for the purposes connected with the primary purpose of collection, or a reasonably related secondary purpose which we believe you should reasonably expect. Secondary purposes might include disclosure to maintenance personnel or other third party contractors (including outsourced and cloud service providers) who may be unable to avoid accessing personal information in the course of providing technical or other support services to our company.

Examples of disclosures may include disclosures to:

(a) our employees and related bodies corporate;

(b) third party suppliers and service providers (including providers for the operation of our websites and/or our business or in connection with providing our products and services to you);

(c) our existing or potential agents, business partners or partners;

(d) specific third parties authorised by you to receive information held by us; and/or

(e) other persons, including government agencies, regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies, or as required, authorised or permitted by law.

7. Direct marketing

We will not use or disclose personal information for the purposes of direct marketing to you unless:

(a) you have consented to receive direct marketing materials; or

(b) you would reasonably expect us to use your personal details for this purpose; or

(c) we believe you may be interested in the material but it is impractical for us to obtain your consent.

In every instance, we will ensure that our direct marketing material incorporates an option for you to elect to receive no further such communications.

Please note also that even if you have requested not to receive further direct marketing communications, we may continue to provide you with information about changes to our terms and conditions for the supply of goods or services, questionnaires and other factual information. This form of communication is not regarded as "direct marketing" under the Privacy Act.

8. Storage of data and overseas disclosure

Typically, we will store personal information locally, and on cloud hosted applications, some of which may be located overseas or on virtually hosted clouds. Your personal information may also be transferred overseas when the third parties with whom we may share it (as described in this policy) are located overseas.

In addition, it is possible that we, or our subcontractors, will utilise cloud technology in connection with the storage of personal information, and it is possible that this may result in off-shore storage.

It is not practicable for us to specify in advance the location of every service provider with whom we deal. It is possible that information will be transferred to a jurisdiction where you will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act and that does not have an equivalent level of data protection as Australia. If you have any concerns regarding the transfer of your personal information overseas please contact us using the details provided below.

9. Employee records

In accordance with the Privacy Act, this policy does not apply to our acts and practices directly related to a current or former employment relationship between us and an employee, or to an employee record held by us relating to the employee.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure, and against other misuse. When using our website you should be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Although we strive to protect such information, we do not warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us over the Internet and you do so at your own risk. When no longer required, all personal information is destroyed or de-identified in a secure manner.

11. Access and Correction

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information we collect is accurate, current and complete.

We will provide you with access to your personal information held by us unless we are permitted under the Privacy Act to refuse to provide you with such access. Please contact us via the details at the end of this Policy if you:

(a) wish to have access to the personal information which we hold about you;

(b) consider that the personal information which we hold about you is not accurate, complete or up to date; or

(c) require further information on our personal information handling practices.

There is no set fee for requesting access to your personal information but we may require you to meet our reasonable costs in actually providing you with access. If we refuse to give you your personal information on a permitted ground, or refuse to correct your personal information, we will give you written notice with our reasons and information about how to complain.

If you consider that the information which we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, we will take reasonable steps, consistent with our obligations under the Privacy Act, to correct that information if you so request. We will respond to all requests for access and/or correction within a reasonable time.

12. Openness

From time to time, we may change our policy on how we handle personal information or the types of personal information which we hold. Any changes to our policy will be published on our website.
