PRIVACY


We respect your right to privacy under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and are required to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles for the collection of personal information from individuals.

The information we collect

The sort of personal information we might collect from you includes your name, gender, age, address, email address, third party services login (e.g. Facebook, Google+, Microsoft or LinkedIn user names), telephone number, fax number, credit card information, order and purchase history with us and information about your areas of interest.

For current and prospective employees, we will also collect information including emergency contacts.


You have no obligation to provide personal information which you do not wish to disclose. In some circumstances, however, if we do not have the required personal information we may be unable to provide you with employment or access to goods or services that require the collection of that information.

How you can access, delete or correct personal information or make a complaint

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you. If you believe that it is incomplete or inaccurate, you may ask us to amend it. You can ask us to delete the personal information that we hold about you. If you ask us to delete any personal information that we hold about you, this may affect our ability to provide you with goods or services, either in whole or in part.
