We comply with the National Privacy Principles (“NPPS”) as contained in the Privacy Act 1988. The NPPs detail how personal information is collected, used, stored and destroyed and how an individual may gain access to personal information held about them.
Personal information, as distinct from business information, is information, or an option, that identifies an individual, or from which a person’s identity could be ascertained.
This policy details how SCOP manages personal information, sets out some of your privacy rights in relation to personal information, and advises how you can contact us with privacy queries. Our policy is not aimed at curtailing the flow of business or business information, but simply ensuring personal information is handled in accordance with the Privacy Laws.
Collecting Personal Information about you
In the course of doing business, SCOP endeavours to collect business information only. However, the collection of personal information in some instances is unavoidable. We aim only to collect personal information that is necessary to supply you with the goods or services that you or your organisation have contracted us to provide and advise of the consequences if you/it chooses not to provide the information.
The type of personal information collected will depend on the type of question or request you have made to us, or the goods or services you have asked us to provide or may be interested in, and may include names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and driver’s licence numbers.
At the time personal information is collected or as soon as practicable thereafter, we will advise you of:
Unless any of the above is obvious in the circumstances, or detailed on a collection form.
While we endeavour to only collect personal information from the individual involved, in some instances we may also receive personal information about you from third parties. Where we receive (and retain) or use personal information received from third parties (ie SCOP agents), we will contact you and advise you that we hold this information.
How do we use your personal information?
SCOP may use and disclose your personal information if the disclosure is necessary to answer your enquiry or request, complete the services we provide, or in order to supply you or your organisation with goods ordered. Within SCOP, we may use and disclose your personal information for the purposes of performing our administrative tasks and other operations, including accounting, marketing, record keeping and archiving.
We may also use your personal information for related purposes that you would reasonably expect, such as providing you with details about new product launches, other goods or services offered by us, as well as any promotions or sales relating to our business that may be of interest to you. You can opt out of receiving this information at any time by notifying us.
In some cases we may disclose your personal information to third parties such as SCOP agents, but only if it is required to answer and follow up your enquiry, provide you with goods or services, or complete the transaction you have entered into.
We may also disclose your personal information where we have sought your consent or as is otherwise allowed by law.
