Personal information is information about you, such as your name and address. Personal information may also include your purchases, financial information and preferences.

For each visitor to reach our website, we collect the following non-personally identifiable information, including browser type, version and language, operating system, pages viewed while browsing our website, page access times and referring website address. This collected information is used solely internally for the purpose of gauging visitor traffic, trends and delivering personalised content to you while you access our website.

HOW IS PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED

At all times we try to only collect the information we need for the function or activity we are carrying out.

The main way we collect personal information is when you give it to us directly, including:

• When you purchase our products or services;
• When you discuss the potential purchase or our products or services with our team;
• When you access materials on the Web Site

The personal information collected includes your name, address, email address, telephone number and purchase history.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your personal and sensitive information may be used in connection with:

• Communicating with you via email or telephone;
• Marketing our products or services to you;
• Ensuring our internal business processes are running smoothly which may include quality assurance audits, quality and service evaluations, fulfilling legal requirements and conducting confidential systems maintenance and testing;
• Enforcing these Web Site terms or any other agreement with you;
• Otherwise delivering the products and services that you have requested from us and operating our business.

From time to time, we may use your personal information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our Privacy Policy. If our information practices change some time in the future, we will use your personal information for these new purposes only, and data collected from the time of the policy change forward will adhere to our updated practices.

SHARING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not share your personal information, except as required to manage our business, deliver our products and services to you, or to comply with legal requirements. This means that we may disclose your personal and sensitive information to:

• Our insurers;
• A Professional Association or Registered Body that has a proper and genuine interest in your personal information;
• Our contractors and suppliers – (inclusive of our IT contactors and database designers);
• Any person with lawful entitlement to obtain the information.

We may occasionally hire other organisations or individuals to provide services on our behalf, including to deliver marketing services and process financial transactions. Those organisations or individuals will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the relevant service. We take reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations and individuals are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.

We may share aggregate and non-personal information we collect about you with other organisations or individuals as part of our normal business operations, including advisors, suppliers, and investors. In these circumstances, all personally identifiable information is removed from our data.

We do not rent, lease or in any other way provide your personal information to other organisations or individuals for marketing purposes.

DIRECT MARKETING

We will not direct market to you unless you have been given an opportunity to opt out of receiving future direct marketing communications or unless you have otherwise consented to direct marketing. If you do not want to receive such offers from us or do not want us to disclose your personal information to our related entities for marketing purposes, you can opt out at any time by contacting us using our contact details provided below. We do not use or disclose sensitive information for the purposes of direct marketing.

SOCIAL MEDIA

We may also, from time to time, use social media platforms to deliver targeted advertisements to you or others who we consider may be interested in our products or services. For example, we may aggregate your email address together with the email addresses of others, locally hash such data, and transmit the resulting hashed data to third parties including but not limited to Facebook for the purpose of creating “Custom Audiences” (where targeted advertisements are sent to people on Facebook who have already been on our website), and “Lookalike Audiences” (where targeted advertisements are sent to people on Facebook who have similar characteristics to people on our customer list).

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

The Spam Act 2003 prohibits us from sending you any commercial electronic communications, such as texts and emails containing marketing offers, without your consent.

So, in line with our commitment to technology (but within the parameters of the law), we like to accommodate customers who want to be contacted electronically. We might send you communications for any of the purposes mentioned above.

When we collect your personal information, we might ask you for your mobile phone number or email address. When you provide these details, we will also request your consent for us to use these details for commercial electronic communications. Whenever such messages are sent, we will always provide you with the option of opting out of receiving similar communications in the future within the message.

PROVIDING LIMITED INFORMATION

HOW DO WE PROTECT THE SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We will take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. This includes taking appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorised access and disclosure. For example, your personal information is stored in secure offices and in computerized and encrypted databases which can only be accessed by authorised employees for permitted business functions. No system can be completely secure however, and while we take all reasonable steps to secure your personal information, we do not promise, and you should not expect that your personal information or communication with us will always remain secure. If there is a notifiable data breach, we will take all reasonable steps to notify you if your personal information is involved in an eligible data breach that is likely to result in serious harm.

We encourage you to take care with how you handle and disclose personal information and avoid sending personal information through unsecure email.

GAINING ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION

The Privacy Act outlines your right to request and view all personal and sensitive information that we hold about you. If you believe that personal or sensitive information that we hold about you is not accurate, complete and/or up-to-date, you may request that is be corrected. We will ask you to verify your identity before we give you access to your information or correct it, and we will try to make the process as simple as possible. If we refuse to give you access to, or correct, your information, we must notify you in writing setting out the reasons.

In the event that we are unable to agree that your personal or sensitive information is not accurate, complete and/or up to date, we will ask you to provide a formal statement stating your claim of inaccuracy. If you wish to exercise your rights of access and correction, please contact your consultant or company representative. If we refuse to correct your personal or sensitive information, you can also ask us to associate with it (for example, attach or link) a statement that you believe the information is incorrect and why.

If we make a correction and we have disclosed the incorrect information to others, you can ask us to tell them about the correction. We must do so unless there is a valid reason not to.

If you are no longer a customer of ours, we may still retain certain information associated with your account for record keeping integrity, and to comply with legal requirements.
