Peters Removals is
committed to providing you with the highest levels of customer service.
This includes protecting your privacy. From 21 December 2001, we are
bound by new sections of the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988, which set
out a number of principles concerning the protection of your personal
information. This statement, called "Protecting Your Privacy",
sets out important information about privacy protections:
How
we collect personal information
Peters Removals collects
personal information in a number of ways, including:
- directly from you, such as when you provide information by phone or in documents
such as our Online Quotation Form;
- from third parties such as our related companies, credit reporting agencies
or your representatives;
- from publicly available sources of information;
- from the organisations identified below under "When we disclose your
personal information";
- from our own records of how you use your Peters Removals Services
How
we use your personal information
Your personal
information may be used to:
- identify you;
- provide the services you require;
- administer and manage those services, including charging, billing and collecting
debts;
- inform you of ways the services provided to you could be improved;
- research and develop our services;
- maintain and develop our business systems and infrastructure
Your personal
information is also collected to promote and market to you other services
which we consider may be of interest to you. Before we do so, we will
provide you with an opportunity to give us permission to send you marketing
or promotional material (such as promotional email offers), via an opt-in
mechanism. That is, we will send you such material only if you elect
to receive it or if it is provided to you in response to your request.
You may also notify us at any time that you do not wish to receive marketing
or promotional material by advising Fairway Removals in writing at
the address below.
When
we disclose your personal information
For the
purposes set out above (under "How we use your personal information")
we may disclose your personal information to organisations outside Peters Removals.
Where appropriate, these disclosures are subject to privacy and confidentiality
protections. The organisations to which we usually disclose information
include:
- outsourced service providers who manage the services we provide to you, including:
- billing and debt-recovery functions;
- information technology services;
- your representatives (eg. your authorised representatives or legal advisers);
- credit reporting and fraud checking agencies;
- our professional advisers, including our accountants, auditors and lawyers;
- government and regulatory authorities and other organisations, as required or
authorised by law;
- our related companies.
Help
us to ensure we hold accurate information
Peters Removals takes
all reasonable precautions to ensure that the personal information we
collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However,
the accuracy of the information we hold depends to a large extent on
the information you provide. That's why we recommend you:
- let us know if there are any errors in your personal information; and
- keep us up to date with changes to your personal information such as your
name or address or contact details.
You
can access your personal information
You have
a right to access your personal information, subject to some exceptions
allowed by law. If you would like to do so, please let us know by sending
an email using the Contact Us page. You may be required to put your
request in writing for security reasons. Peters Removals reserves the right to
charge a fee for searching for and providing access to your information.
Security
of your information
We take
reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is stored
securely. Credit card information is among the most important data we
collect. For obvious reasons, please do not send credit card information
through unsecured email.
What
else you should know about privacy
Please
be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information
over the Internet (for example: in discussion forums, via email, or
in chat sites) that this information can be collected and used by others.
In short, if you post personal information in publicly accessible online
forums, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
