Privacy Policy
Updated 01 May 2020
Aussie Mobile Connect reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time and notify you by posting an updated version of the Policy on our website. The amended Policy will apply between us whether or not we have given you specific notice of any change. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically because it may change from time to time.
This Privacy Policy sets out how Aussie Mobile Connect and its related group companies manage personal information. This only applies to personal information that identifies you or could reasonably identify you. It does not apply to ‘de-identified’ or ‘anonymised’ information where the individual cannot be identified from the information.
1. Collection
We only collect personal information which is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities or which is directly related to them. Typically this information includes your name, date of birth, driver’s licence number, Medicare number or passport number, address, contact details, account information, payment and financial information and your customer feedback.
Usually there is no need for us to know any of your sensitive information, like your race, politics, religious or philosophical beliefs, or health status, and we would only collect it if you consent or if the collection is required or authorised by law or court order or in other limited circumstances which the law permits.
Our primary purpose for collecting and holding personal information from our customers is so we can supply our products and services to you, or other purpose we disclose to you at the time we collect the information. Related purposes (‘secondary purposes’) include to assess your orders and perform credit checks, for billing, credit and account management, for product, process and system improvement and development, to provide you with customer support and to obtain customer feedback, to inform you about our products and promotions, and to comply with our legal obligations. Usually we collect personal information directly from you or your authorised representative, when you order a product or service from us, submit a credit application, contact us with an inquiry or complaint, pay a bill or complete a customer survey. We may collect personal information from our related group companies, affiliates and Authorised Agents. We may also collect personal information from someone else for example credit related information from a third party agency. We also collect some information when you use our websites (see the Marketing section below).
If we ask you to tell us personal information and you choose not to, we may not be able to provide our services to you, or answer your inquiries.
2. Use and disclosure
We only use or disclose personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy.
We use or disclose personal information for the primary purpose of supplying our products and services to you. We also use or disclose it for a secondary purpose as outlined above if you consent, or you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose it for that purpose.
We may use or disclose personal information if required or authorised by law, if necessary in relation to a suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct related to our functions or activities or if reasonably necessary for enforcement related activities of an enforcement body or to assist in locating a missing person. For example we may disclose personal information to law enforcement bodies and to others if required or authorised by warrant or court order or other legal obligation. We must also disclose certain information to the Integrated Public Number Database (IPND) for emergency services and other lawful purposes.
We may use or disclose personal information if necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety and it is unreasonable or impracticable to obtain consent. We may use or disclose personal information if reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend a claim or for the purposes of confidential alternative dispute resolution.
We will also disclose personal information to the white pages and yellow pages agencies for directory listings if you request.
Typically we disclose personal information to our related group companies. We may also disclose it to our third party service providers and suppliers if required for the purposes set out in this policy. For example, we may disclose personal information to other suppliers who help us deliver the services to you, to identity check, debt collection and credit reporting agencies, and to outsourced customer support providers. We may also disclose information in relation to a transfer or sale of all or part of our assets or business.
3. Disclosing data overseas
Under our current operations, we may disclose personal information to overseas providers (in the Philippines) to assist with supply of our products and services to you or for the secondary purposes described in this policy. Typically in these situations, the personal information remains stored on databases here in Australia and the overseas provider can only view limited information on screen.
4. Marketing
We may also use or disclose your personal information for direct marketing. Typically our direct marketing is by email, telling you about our services and special offers. An opt–out link is provided in any marketing emails you receive from us.
5. Data quality
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is accurate, up to date and complete, and that the information we use or disclose (having regard to the purpose of the use or disclosure) is accurate, up to date, complete and relevant.
6. Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information we hold from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
We take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information if we no longer need the information for any permitted purpose or if we are not required by law to retain the information.
7. Access, correction and complaints
You can ask to access personal information we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct it if there are errors.
If you wish to submit a request to access and/or change your information, we encourage you to contact us as detailed below. We aim to respond to your request within 30 days.
