Our Personal Information Handling Practices

What is Personal Information?

We use the definition of personal information contained in Section 6(1) of the Privacy Act.

We try to collect personal information directly from the individual.
We only collect personal information for purposes which are directly related to our activities and only when it is necessary for or directly related to such purposes. These purposes include:

• To provide you with information you have enquired about

• To provide you with goods or services you have purchased

• When you ask to be on an email or mailing list, so we can send you updates

• When you send us information about an event or enquiry

• For normal communication processes when we might email, text, or phone you
