If you default in the payment of any monies owed to us, you authorise us to provide Personal Information to the CRB. This information may then be used and disclosed by the CRB in accordance with the Privacy Act and the CRB’s privacy policy, including providing credit assessments to other credit providers. You may request the CRB not to use or disclose your credit information in some circumstances, e.g. if you have been a victim of fraud. Information about the CRBs we use may be obtained from our Privacy Officer, whose details are set out below.
We collect Personal Information:
If at any time you supply Personal Information to us about any other person (e.g. by posting a photo on our Facebook page), you represent and we accept that information on the basis that you are authorised to do so and that the relevant person has consented to the disclosure to us.
We use video and camera surveillance within and in the car parks outside our Centres. In addition, our Retailers may have video and camera surveillance within their stores or offices.
The surveillance video and camera images may include images of you and anyone accompanying you (e.g. other occupants of your car), as well as details of your vehicle and your vehicle registration number. The images will be used for the purpose of identifying security issues and for any other purpose authorised under the Privacy Act.
We use the Personal Information we collect for operational purposes, including:
We may use and disclose your Personal Information to provide you with information on offers, products and services offered by us, our Retailers, our Related Entities and our business associates. If at any time you no longer wish to receive any additional marketing material from us or do not want your information disclosed for direct marketing purposes, contact our Privacy Officer and we will remove your details from our marketing database.
We do not use Sensitive Information for marketing purposes.
In addition to the situations above, we may disclose your Personal Information to our Related Entities and third parties in certain circumstances including:
While we do all we reasonably can to protect your Personal Information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including investing in security software, the Internet is not a secure environment. The open nature of the Internet is such that information exchanged via the Internet may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended. If you send us any information, including (without limitation) Personal Information, it is sent at your own risk.
You are responsible for all actions taken using your username, email or password. If at any time you believe your username or password has been compromised, you should immediately contact us and also change your password.
If you access a partner or service website (e.g. Retailer) from our website, you do so and provide Personal Information in accordance with the terms and conditions under which the provider of that website operates.
While we are not in a position to give you advice on Internet security, if you provide Personal Information to us electronically, there are some things you can do which may help maintain the privacy of your information, including:
We endeavour to keep our information systems and files secured from unauthorised access. Those who work with us are aware of the importance we place on protecting your privacy and their role in helping us to do so.
Our procedures to securely store Personal Information include electronic and physical security measures, staff training and use of password protection software.
When the Personal Information that we collect is no longer required, we will remove or de-identify the Personal Information as soon as reasonably possible. We may, however, retain Personal Information for as long as is necessary to comply with any applicable law, for the prevention of fraud, for insurance and governance purposes, in our IT back-up, for the collection of any monies owed and to resolve disputes.
You may request access to your Personal Information or correct any inaccurate or out of date information by clicking here or contacting our Privacy Officer. For security purposes, we may ask you to provide evidence of your identity.
If you ask, in most cases we will give you access to the personal information that we hold about you and take reasonable steps to correct any incorrect information. We will try to make the process as simple as possible.
You may request the source of any information we collect from a third party. We will provide this at no cost, unless under the Privacy Act or other law there is a reason for this information being withheld. If there is a reason under the Privacy Act or other law for us not to provide you with information, we will give you a written notice of refusal setting out the reasons for the refusal except to the extent it would be unreasonable to do so and the mechanisms available to you to complain about the refusal.
