The Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act), the Australian Privacy Principles and registered codes govern the way in which we must manage your personal information. This policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage your personal information.
Collection

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. We may also collect personal information through our members or suppliers.
Purpose of collection
The personal information that we collect and hold about you depends on your interaction with us. Generally, we will collect, use and hold your personal information for the purposes of:
(a) Assessing applications;
(b) Providing products or services to you or someone else you know, including the administration of our rewards program and delivering rewards under that program;
(c) Monitoring, auditing and evaluating our products and services;

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information about you to or with any third parties. We only use or disclose information about you for the purposes for which it was collected (set out above). We may disclose personal information about you to:
(a) Third party service providers who assist us in operating our business (for instance our IT service providers) and these service providers may not be required to comply with our privacy policy;
(b) Other organisations with whom we have affiliations so that those organisations may provide you with information about services and various promotions.

Access and correction
You may request access personal information we hold about you, by making a written request. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period.
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information, or at any other time, you believe the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please notify us immediately. We 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.
