We may collect the following types of personal information:
In some cases, we may also collect information using cookies and other tracking devices.
When you access our website, we may send a cookie (which is a small summary file containing a unique ID number) to your computer.
This enables us to recognise your computer and greet you each time you visit our website, without bothering you with a request to register or log in.
It also helps us keep track of products or services you view so that we can send you information about those products or services.
We also use cookies to measure traffic patterns, to determine which areas of our websites have been visited, and to measure transaction patterns in the aggregate.
We use this to research our users’ habits so that we can improve our online products and services.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set your browser so that your computer does not accept them.
We may also log IP addresses (the electronic addresses of computers connected to the internet) to analyse trends, administer the website, track user movements, and gather broad demographic information.
We may also collect anonymous data (which is not personal information) relating to your activity on our websites (including IP addresses) via cookies, or we may collect information from you in response to a survey.
We generally use this information to report statistics, analyse trends, administer our services, diagnose problems, and target and improve the quality of our products and services.
This information does not constitute personal information as it does not identify you or anyone else. Therefore, the Australian Privacy Principles do not apply, and we may use this information for any purpose and by any means.
We collect your personal information directly from you unless it is unreasonable or impractical to do so.

We may send you direct marketing communications and information about products and services that we consider may be of interest to you.
These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, SMS, or email, in accordance with applicable marketing laws, such as the Spam Act 2004 (Cth).
If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so.
At any time, you may opt out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting us or by using the opt-out facilities provided (e.g. an unsubscribe link). We will then ensure that your name is removed from our mailing list.
We do not provide your personal information to other organisations for the purpose of direct marketing unless authorised by you.
If you receive communications from us that you believe have been sent to you other than in accordance with this policy, or in breach of any law, please contact us.
You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us. Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try and provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you).
We will not charge for simply making a request and will not charge for making any corrections to your personal information.
If you make an access request, we will ask you to verify your identity. There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold.
For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others, or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality.
If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal. If you believe that the personal information, we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it.
We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment, then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
If you believe your privacy has been breached by us, have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy please, please contact us with details of the incident so that we can investigate it.
We have a formal complaints procedure. We will endeavour to resolve all investigations within a reasonable time.
We will treat your requests or complaints confidentially. Our representatives will contact you within a reasonable time after receipt of your complaint to discuss your concerns and outline options regarding how they may be resolved.
