Introduction

This Privacy Policy is provided to make you aware of how we collect, use and manage personal information we receive from customers. Our Privacy Policy deals with the following:

  • the Privacy Act 1988
  • collection, use and disclosure of your personal information
  • protection of your personal information

Privacy Act 1988

The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“the Act”), regulates the way in which many private sector organisations including Kaora, collects, uses, keeps secure and discloses personal information. The Act aims to give people greater control over the way information about them is handled, by requiring organisations to comply with 13 National Privacy Principles or to establish an approved privacy code.

The National Privacy Principles apply to Kaora and cover areas such as collection, use and disclosure of personal information, data quality and security and access and correction rights for individuals.

Kaora highly values privacy and will comply with the Privacy Act 1988 at all times.

 

Collection of information

Some information provided to us by customers, suppliers, agencies, contractors and other third parties might be considered private or personal. Without these details, we would not be able to carry on our business and provide our services to you. We will only collect such personal information if it is necessary for one of our functions or activities. 

In particular, personal information is collected from people in the following situations by Kaora:

  • If you contact Kaora, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
  • When you establish or access an account or order product.
  • When you conduct certain types of transactions such as online payment or refunds
    • When you submit your email address to our website mailing list or enter an existing promotion.
    • When you place an order on our website to purchase goods, we may require you to provide us with contact information including your name, address, telephone number and email address and financial information (such as credit card details).

Financial information that is collected via the website may be used by us to bill you for products and services. Any financial information that is collected is for the purpose of transaction approval and funds transfer. The financial information we collect from you is strictly confidential.

At or before the time the personal information is collected by us, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of who we are, the fact that you are able to gain access to the information held about you, the purpose of the collection, the type(s) of organisations to which we usually disclose the information collected about you, any laws requiring the collection of the information and the main consequences for you if all or part of the information is not collected.

 

Use of information collected and disclosure of personal information to others

We may use or disclose personal information held about an individual for the primary purpose for which it is collected (eg. provision of our goods and services, including shipping, administration of our goods and services, notification to you about changes to our goods and services and record-keeping following termination of our goods and services to you).

We may also use such information for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and where you would reasonably expect that we would use the information in such a way. This information is only disclosed to persons outside our business in the circumstances set out in this policy or as otherwise notified to you at the time of collection of the information.

In addition we are permitted to use or disclose personal information held about you:

  • Where you have consented to the use or disclosure;
  • Where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious, immediate threat to someone's health or safety or the public's health or safety;
  • Where we reasonably suspect that unlawful
    activity has been, is being or may be engaged in and the use or disclosure is a necessary part of our investigation or in reporting the matter to the relevant authorities;
  • Where such use or disclosure is required under or authorised by law (for example, to comply with a warrant, a subpoena or other order of a court or legal process);
  • Where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is necessary for prevention, investigation, prosecution and punishment of crimes or wrongdoings or the preparation for, conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal or the implementation of the orders of a court or tribunal by or on behalf of an enforcement body.
