Certain parts of this policy relate specifically to credit-related information. We may change this privacy policy from time to time and will post any updates on our website.

How do we collect your personal information?

There are many aspects of our website, which can be viewed without providing personal information, however, personally identifiable information is required to be provided by you in the following situations:

If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence;
If you apply for, establish or access an online account or sign up to our online mailing list;

We store your personal information on our platform on the back end component of website. Your information is stored in encrypted databases, to which we hold and maintain all encryption keys and key management cycles. Certain personal information about you may be linked with other

information about you, including credit information. Only our authorised officers can access your personal information and our databases are protected by passwords.

We also aim to keep your payment information secure through engaging the services of Secure Pay and eWAY. These entities are sourced for security and do not collect customer details for their own business use.

We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information while it is in our control, and we will take reasonable steps to de-identify or destroy your personal information if we no longer require it.

If you submit personal information to or via any linked website, the privacy principles applying to that information are outside our control. You should check the privacy statement of the linked website before submitting information to or via that site.

Credit information

If you are applying for a credit account with us, we may collect credit information from you in addition to personal information, including your commercial activities, credit worthiness, credit history or credit capacity, specifically:

The fact that you have applied for credit and the amount applied for Overdue payments and any collection which has commenced Advice that payments are no longer overdue Evidence of any cheques drawn by you which have been dishonoured more than once Details of any credit provided to you by other credit providers (such as other financial institutions, utilities or telecommunications providers) Circumstances that, in our opinion, demonstrate that you have committed a serious credit infringement That credit provided to you has been paid or otherwise discharged
Personal insolvency information and court proceedings information.

We may collect this information from any credit application that you complete, from a credit reporting agency, trade reference or from the public domain. By signing our credit application form, you are agreeing to us collecting information about you from any business or credit provider, for the purpose of assessing your application for credit or accepting you as a guarantor of the credit.

We will not use or disclose your credit information for any other purpose without your consent unless we are legally required to do so. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose your personal or credit related information to a credit reporting agency in order to assess your application for credit, to notify other credit providers of a default by you, to exchange information with other credit providers as to the status of credit where you are in default with other credit providers and to assess your credit worthiness. If we do so, we will notify you of the details of the body to which disclosure is to be made.

Credit information is held in the same way as personal information, and to this effect, clause 3 above applies.
