We respect the privacy rights of individuals and are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Australian privacy laws. This policy details how we collect, store, use and disclose personal information.

In this privacy policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning it has in the Privacy Act (1988)(Cth) and includes information (including opinions) about an identifiable individual, including names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, photographs, credit card information, and if and where applicable, includes information that constitutes “sensitive information” as defined under the Privacy Act.

1. Collection and Storage of Personal Information and Data

   We collect some personal information about individuals. Our usual approach is to collect personal information directly from the individual concerned.

   The personal information we collect from you could include your name, email, telephone or address contact details, birth date, image/photographs of you, driver’s licence information, details of your employer and employment history and credit and payment related information. In most circumstances we do not collect “sensitive information”.

   We collect personal information in circumstances including the following:

   1. when you visit our premises, we may require you to sign in and may be required to keep and potentially disclose this information to Customs or other government agencies;
   2. when as a customer you establish an account with us and to do so provide your details;
   3. when you telephone us or visit our website and provide feedback, or you make an enquiry to which a later response is requested and to do so requires your contact details;
   4. through written correspondence from you, including letters and emails;
   5. through surveillance cameras at our premises
   6. when you ask to be included on marketing distribution lists, sign up to our website or interact with us on social media;
   7. when you make a purchase using a credit card or method other than cash;
   8. when you otherwise register for or subscribe to one of our online services;
   9. when you enter a competition, special promotion or survey; and
   10. when as a supplier, your contact and other details are provided; and
   11. when we receive applications for employment and when evaluating job applicants and personnel, which may include collection of details such as employment history and educational qualifications.

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

   We limit the information we provide to third parties to the information they need to help us provide or facilitate the provision of goods and services to you. We deal with third parties that are required to meet the privacy standards required by law in handling your personal information, and use your personal information only for the purposes that we gave it to them.

   We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information, including internal and external security, restricting access to personal information to those who have a need to know, maintain technological products to prevent unauthorised computer access and regularly reviewing our technology to maintain security.
