Privacy Policy

We understand that you value your privacy and wish to have your personal information kept secure. For these reasons, we place a high priority on the security of information we hold.

We have developed this policy to inform you of how we manage your personal information and maintain its integrity and security.

We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 and must comply with the National Privacy Principles. You can find more information about the Privacy Act on the Federal Privacy Commissioner's website at http://www.privacy.gov.au/law/act/.

While we believe in keeping your personal information highly secure, we also believe that you have the right to be informed about how we deal with that information so, if on reading this policy you are unclear on any of the matters or simply want more information, please contact us on the telephone number or addresses provided below.

Collecting Personal Information
We aim to collect personal information only if it is relevant and necessary to providing the service or product you have requested from us.

In general we collect and hold the following information:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Organisation (if applicable)

We collect but do not hold credit card details if you pay for an order by credit card.

In most cases we will collect this information from you directly. However in some cases we may purchase information from list owners or managers. The only consequence of you not providing any of this information is that we cannot process credit card payments.

Naturally, we collect and hold a broad range of personal information gathered during the course of providing our service and products. However as stated above, we strive to ensure that we collect and hold only that personal information which is relevant and necessary to your specific matters.
