We respect the privacy and confidentiality of the information provided by you and adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles. Please read our Privacy Policy below carefully.
Your Privacy
We understand and appreciate that you are concerned about privacy, particularly in relation to the use and disclosure of Personal and Sensitive Information. We are committed to providing a high level of privacy in relation to all Personal and Sensitive Information that is collected by us.
By continuing to communicate with us, conduct business with us, or by seeking employment with us, you consent to the practices described in this Statement.
What Personal Or Sensitive Information Do We Collect From You?
For the purposes of this Statement, “Personal Information” is information from which your identity is apparent or can be reasonably ascertained. “Sensitive Information” is information about your health.
Whether you are a client or a supplier or a prospective employee, the types of Personal Information generally collected by us include your name, address, mobile and telephone numbers, facsimile number and e-mail address, credit card or bank account details, occupation and/or credit record information. Personal Information is also collected when you provide business cards, email signatures or other documentation to us containing such Personal Information, including when you complete a Credit Application or a Website Enquiry. Personal Information also includes information we collect in the course of providing goods to you and communications between you and us, including with our sales or customer service staff or other departments. Most of the Personal Information we collect will be collected directly from you.
We may also collect additional Personal Information at other times, including but not limited to, when you provide feedback, change your content or email preferences, respond to a survey, or communicate with our customer support.
Information collected by us is used to confirm and facilitate business transactions such as quotations, order acknowledgements, supplier payments, enquiries, deliveries or goods returns, invoices and statements.
If you do not provide us with such Personal Information, we may be unable to process your enquiry or provide the goods requested by you.
If you are seeking employment with us, we may also require you to attend a medical assessment and we may collect some of your Sensitive Information. The types of Sensitive Information include information relating to your health, your medical history and other health related information. If you do not provide us with such Personal and Sensitive Information, we may be unable to assess your application.
Information collected from an employee is used to facilitate and confirm payroll details and fulfil taxation and superannuation obligations. We will also collect personal address and contact details so that in the event of any health, accident or other emergency situation, next of kin or nominated contact person can be advised.
How Do We Use Your Personal And Sensitive Information And Who Will We Give It To?
Any Personal or Sensitive Information that we collect about you will be used and disclosed by us so that we can provide you with goods or services that you have requested or otherwise to enable us to carry out our functions, including contacting you regarding delivery times and disclosure to third parties in order to obtain payment of our account, or responding to an enquiry via our websites.
We may add your name, address, mobile and telephone numbers, facsimile number and e-mail address to our database. The database may also be used for ongoing direct marketing. If we elect to retain such Personal Information, you have our commitment to your privacy.
The type of marketing and educative activities that we undertake includes forwarding material to you so that you are kept updated in relation to new products or new technology. If at any time you do not wish to continue receiving this information, we provide an “opt-out” procedure in each communication to you.
We will use all reasonable means to protect the confidentiality of your Personal and Sensitive Information while in our possession or control. We will not knowingly share any of your Personal and Sensitive Information with any third party other than our service providers who assist us in providing the information and/or services we are providing to you. To the extent that we do share your Personal and Sensitive Information with a service provider, we would only do so if that party has agreed to comply with our privacy standards as described in this privacy policy. Some of our service providers may be overseas (including in New Zealand and/or the United States of America) and may not be subject to Australian Privacy Laws. Please contact us if you require specific details.
We do not and will not rent or sell your Personal or Sensitive Information to any other company or organisation, without your prior consent where that consent is required by law.
We may from time to time need to disclose certain information, which may include your Personal or Sensitive Information, to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request. Also, we may use your Personal or Sensitive Information to protect the rights, property or safety of Advanced Lighting Technologies Australia, our customers or third parties.
You consent to our use and disclosure of your Personal or Sensitive Information of or incidental to a sale of our business to a third party or where we outsource duties, including enforcing the terms and conditions of our engagement with you or database management to an external service provider for purposes of rendering the required services.
We may also use in a general sense without any reference to your name, your information to create marketing statistics, identify user demands and to assist it in meeting customer needs generally. In addition, we may use the information that you provide to improve our website and services but not for any other use.
