POLICY STATEMENT  

In this Privacy Policy, Dataweavers Pty Ltd (ABN 57 630 717 494) is referred to as we, our and us 

The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and binding codes issued under the Privacy Act, govern the way we manage your personal information. Personal information is any information or opinion about a person, who is identified or reasonably identifiable, whether or not that information or opinion is true. 

This policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage personal information. 

Our separate Credit Reporting Policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage credit-related information. 

Both this Credit Reporting Policy and the Privacy Policy are available at https://www.dataweavers.com, or on request by contacting us as set out below. 

SCOPE 

We recognise and respect that your privacy is very important, and we are committed to protecting the personal information we collect from and about you.  

COLLECTION   

Types of information collected   

The personal information that we collect and hold about you depends on your interaction with us.  

If you are a client or have a business relationship with us, the kinds of information we typically collect include: name, gender, address, phone number, email address, bank account details, place and type of business and other information relevant to providing you with the goods and services you are, or someone else you know is, seeking.  

If you are an employee or contractor, the kinds of information we typically collect include name, gender, address, DOB, contact details, emergency contact details, bank account and financial details, and your tax file number to enable us to administer our employment or contractor relationship. 

We may also collect and hold sensitive information about you, including information about your health, racial or ethnic origin, criminal record, sexual preferences or practices.  We will only do this with your consent or where otherwise permitted by law. 

Information collected from registered members 

When you, by choice, register as a member, we collect personal information about you in order for you to take full advantage of our services. To do this it may be necessary for you to provide additional information including your consent (or otherwise) to receiving marketing information from us. You may access this information at any time by logging in and going to your account. 

Method of collection  

Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through the use of any of our standard forms, through our website, social media accounts, in person, via email or over the phone. We may also collect personal information about you from third parties acting on your behalf.  

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. We will usually notify you about these instances in advance, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected. 

If we receive unsolicited information about you that we do not ask for or which is not directly related to our functions or activities, we may be required to destroy or de-identify that information, provided it is lawful and reasonable to do so. 

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 if it is reasonably necessary for or directly related to the performance of our functions and activities and for the purposes of:

  2. responding to your enquiries; 
     
  3. if you have consented to marketing or otherwise permitted by law, providing you with information about other services that we and other organisations that we have affiliations with, offer that may be of interest to you; 
     
  4. if you have consented to marketing or otherwise permitted by law, providing you with information relevant to your type of business or other area of expertise or interest;  

  5. facilitating our internal business operations, including the fulfilment of any legal requirements;  

  6. analysing our services and customer needs with a view to developing new or improved services; or 

  7. contacting you to provide a testimonial for us.  

If you are an employee or consultant, we will use your personal information to administer our employment or consulting relationship, including to fulfil our legal obligations in connection with that relationship. 

Except as otherwise permitted by law, we only collect sensitive information about you if you consent to the collection of the information and if the information is reasonably necessary for the performance of our functions, as set out above. 

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 goods and services you, or they, are seeking. 

In the context of an employment or consulting relationship, without that information we will not be able to appoint you to the role.
