Who do we disclose your personal information to, and why?
In order for delivery of the goods and/or services to take place for the purposes set out above, we may disclose your personal information to organisations outside of our company. We may disclose your personal information to suppliers and service providers. This disclosure of personal information to suppliers and service providers is carried out in order for us to obtain a quote for the goods and/or services that you have requested from the supplier or service provider, or to provide them with the necessary information to allow them to contact you and deliver goods and/or services to you.
Your personal information may be disclosed to these suppliers and service providers only in relation to this site, and we take reasonable steps to ensure that they are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.

Contacting us about privacy
If you would like more information about the way we manage personal information that we hold about you, or are concerned that we may have breached your privacy, please contact us by email or by post.
Access to your personal information
In most cases, you may have access to personal information that we hold about you. We will handle requests for access to your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. All requests for access to your personal information must be made by email or by writing to us at our postal address. We will deal with all requests for access to personal information as quickly as possible. Requests for a large amount of information, or information that is not currently in use, may require further time before a response can be given. We may charge you a fee for access if a cost is incurred by us in order to retrieve your information, but in no case will we charge you a fee for your application for access.
In some cases, we may refuse to give you access to personal information that we hold about you. This may include circumstances where giving you access would:
be unlawful (e.g., where a record that contains personal information about you is subject to a claim for legal professional privilege by one of our contractual counterparties);
have an unreasonable impact on another person’s privacy; or
prejudice an investigation of unlawful activity.
We may also refuse access where the personal information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, and the information would not be accessible by the process of discovery in those proceedings.
If we refuse to give you access, we will provide you with reasons for our refusal.
Correcting your personal information
We will amend any personal information about you that is held by us and that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date if you request us to do so. If we disagree with your view about the accuracy, completeness or currency of a record of your personal information that is held by us, and you ask us to associate with that record a statement that you have a contrary view, we will take reasonable steps to do so.
Storage and security of your personal information
We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of the information that you provide us and we will take all reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorised use or alteration. In our business, personal information may be stored both electronically (on our computer systems and with our website hosting provider) and in hard-copy form. Firewalls, anti-virus software and email filters, as well as passwords, protect all of our electronic information. Likewise, we take all reasonable measures to ensure the security of hard-copy information.
Third-party websites
You may be shown summarised information relating from third party websites on this site, including information regarding suppliers and service providers. This Privacy Policy applies to this site only and we assume no responsibility for the content of any third party websites of which we provide information on this site.
Re-marketing
We may use Google Adwords and/or LinkedIn remarketing services to advertise on third party websites to previous visitors to this site based upon their activity on this site. This allows us to tailor our marketing to better suit your needs and to only display advertisements that are relevant to you. Such advertising may be displayed on a Google search results page or a website in the Google Display Network or inside LinkedIn. Google and LinkedIn may use cookies and/or pixel tags to achieve this. Any data so collected by Google and/or LinkedIn will be used in accordance with their own respective privacy policies. None of your personal Google and/or LinkedIn information is reported to us.
You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ads Settings page (https://www.google.com/settings/ads). LinkedIn allows you to manage your ad settings through their privacy and setting feature.
Storage and processing by third parties
Data that we collect about you may be stored or otherwise processed by third party services with data centres based outside the EU, such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Apple, etc and online relationship management tools. We consider that the collection and such processing of this information is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected (e.g., to analyse how our customers use our services, develop our services and grow our business) and which does not materially impact your rights, freedom or interests.
We require that all third parties that act as “data processors” for us provide sufficient guarantees and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure your data, only process personal data for specified purposes and have committed themselves to confidentiality.
Duration of retention of your data
We will only keep your data for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. At the end of any retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised (for example, by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning). In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data.
Keeping your information up-to-date
To ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date, please promptly advise us of any changes to your information by contacting our data protection officer by email or by post.
