WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT & HOW AND WHY WE COLLECT IT?

However, we may also collect:

  • sensitive information from you with your consent, such as where we ask for information about your health and sexual preferences; and
  • information about how you use our website, via third parties.

How do we collect your personal information?

The main way we collect information is when you give it to us, for example, via our website sign up or other forms, via phone, email, when you submit comments or feedback or via social media.

We also use cookies on our website which may identify you and track your actions and pages you visit. This helps make our website work more securely, such as enhancing security on our contact form; and efficiently, such as storing your information so you don’t have to put it afresh when you visit us again.

At times personal information may also be gathered from third parties, such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons and similar technology to collect or receive information about you from our website and elsewhere on the internet.

  • communicate with you in relation to your enquiry;
  • send you news about any products or services to which you have signed up (you can unsubscribe at any time);
  • conduct our business, and enable your use of our website, products and services; and
  • in some cases, to comply with our legal obligations, such as record keeping.

All financial information is encrypted on our servers and we do not keep all your data (to prevent unauthorised and duplicated transactions). We do not keep any details of your direct debit, and all information is sent to our bank for processing.

WHEN DO WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION & HOW YOU CAN ACCESS IT?

When do we disclose your personal information?

We will take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information, including against loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, misuse or modification. It is kept securely and accessible only to authorised personnel. Information is kept in accordance with our legal record keeping obligations and then destroyed appropriately. We generally will not disclose your personal information unless:

  • you consent;
  • it is required or authorised by law*; or
  • it is reasonably necessary for one of the purposes for which we collect it.

* This can include where we are of the reasonable belief that there is a serious risk to life, health or safety of you or another person. For example, if there is evidence of clear danger of harm to self and/or others, we may be legally required to report this information to the authorities responsible for ensuring safety. A court order could also require the us to release information contained in records. 

We will only disclose your sensitive information for the purpose for which you gave it to us or for directly related purposes that you would reasonably expect or if you otherwise agree.

We also disclose your personal information where it is necessary to obtain third party services, such as analytics, data storage, payment service providers or marketing and advertising services. To protect your personal information we endeavour to ensure that our third party service providers also comply with the Australian Privacy Principles, but some third parties we use may collect, hold and process personal information overseas.  You can opt out of the collection and use of this information by changing your privacy settings or opting out.
