Privacy Policy

Sell My Unwanted Car Brisbane and its related companies (referred to in this document as ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) recognise that your privacy is very important, and we are committed to protecting the personal information we collect from you.  The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), Australian Privacy Principles and registered privacy codes govern the way in which we must manage your personal information. This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage personal information about you including personal information collected through our website.

 

What is ‘Personal Information’?

 

Personal Information is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion is true or not, and whether the information is recorded in a material form or not.

 

Collection

 

Types of information collected

 

We may collect and hold personal information about you, that is, information that can identify you, and is relevant to providing you with the services you are seeking.  The kinds of information we typically collect includes name, address, date of birth, phone number, email address, bank account details, electronic information from your use of our website (see further below), and any other information relevant to providing you with the services you are, or someone else you know is seeking.  We are required to take any steps required to ensure that the information we have collected is accurate, up-to-date, complete and relevant.

 

Method of collection

 

Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through the use of any of our standard forms, over the internet, via email, or through a telephone conversation with you.

There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impractical to collect personal information directly from you.  For example, we may also collect personal information about you from third parties acting on your behalf (for instance an Enduring Power of Attorney).

We will usually notify you about these instances as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.

 

Unsolicited person information

 

Where we receive personal information which we did not solicit, and is not required to be solicited by us, we will take steps to de-identify the information and ensure its confidential destruction as soon as practicable.

 

Purpose of collection

 

The personal information that we collect and hold about you depends on your interaction with us. Generally, we collect, use and hold your personal information for the purposes of:

  • providing services to you or someone else you know;
  • monitoring, auditing and evaluating our services;
  • providing you with marketing information (including newsletters and emails) about other services that we, our related entities and other organisations that we have affiliations with, offer that may be of interest to you;
  • facilitating our business operations;
  • complying with any legal or regulatory requirements;
  • analysing our services and customer needs with a view to improving those services;
  • dealing with any complaints or enquiries; and
  • With your consent, we may also send you marketing information via commercial electronic message (including SMS or text message) about other services and investment opportunities that we offer that may be of interest to you.

 

Failure to provide information

 

If the personal information you provide to us is incomplete or inaccurate, we may be unable to provide you, or someone else you know, with the services you, or they, are seeking.

 

Internet users

 

If you access our website, we may collect additional personal information about you in the form of your IP address and domain name.

Use and disclosure

 

Generally, we only use or disclose personal information about you for the purposes for which it was collected (set out above).  We may disclose personal information about you:

  • internally to our staff;
  • to our related bodies corporate;
  • to any person where necessary or desirable in connection with the provision of our products or services;
  • to our professional advisers such as auditors, accountants, lawyers and insurance companies consistent with normal business practices;
  • to third parties we may engage from time to time to assist us in the promotion of our product and services, and who may receive limited personal information for that purpose;
  • to external service providers in Europe, Asia and the Americas (on a confidential basis) so that they can provide us services related to our business – for example, IT services;
  • where required or authorised by law; and
  • where you consent to the disclosure.

We may rely on employee and related bodies corporate exemptions that are available to us under the Privacy Act when using or disclosing personal information, where applicable.

 

Access and correction

 

You may request access to personal information we hold about you, by making a written request.  We will respond to your request within a reasonable period.  We may charge you a reasonable fee for processing your request (but not for making a request for access or to correct the personal information)  We may refuse a request for access to personal information in circumstances prescribed by the Privacy Act.  If we refuse to give you access, we will provide you with a written notice that sets out the reasons for our refusal (unless it would be unreasonable to provide those reasons).

If upon receiving access to your personal information, or at any other time, you believe the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please let us know immediately.  We will take reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date.

If we refuse to correct your personal information, we will provide you with a written notice that sets out the reasons for our refusal (unless it would be unreasonable to provide those reasons) and provide you with a statement regarding the mechanisms available to you to make a complaint.

 

Security

 

We are committed to keeping secure the information we collect from you.  We store your personal information about you in different ways, including in paper and in electronic form.  We take reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is stored safely to protect it from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure, including electronic and physical security measures.
