EAGLEGATE - Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 April 2020.

At EAGLEGATE your privacy matters, and we are committed to protecting it. Our policy on how we deal with your personal information is set out below.

Why We Collect, Use and Disclose Your Personal Information

We collect, use and disclose your personal information so that we can effectively provide our services to you. Sometimes, collection, use or disclosure of certain types of personal information may also be mandated by law, for example for record keeping purposes.

We will only collect, use or disclose your personal information if it is necessary for the legitimate purposes of conducting our business. We will never sell or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for financial gain.

Some of the legitimate business purposes for which we collect, use or disclose your personal information include:

  • To provide products or services to you;
  • To process your quotes, orders or purchases that you submit online or in person;
  • To share your personal information with our related entities or third parties engaged by us (such as IT contractors) where it is directly relevant to our provision of products or services to you;
  • To exchange correspondence with you;
  • To answer queries or provide information requested by you (including marketing and promotional material where you have consented to receiving them);
  • To maintain an internal record of our communications and business dealings with you;
  • To deal with any complaints or disputes; and
  • To comply with any relevant law or regulation.

We will set out in more detail the particular reasons for the collection of your personal information in a separate privacy notice at the time of collection.

You will always be free to choose whether or not you provide any part of your personal information to us. This includes where you choose to deal with us anonymously or through use of a pseudonym. However, for legal and practical reasons, we may be unable to provide you with certain services without collecting particular types of personal information from you.

Types of Personal Information that We Collect

Personal information can be any information or opinion that is about you or that can reasonably be ascertained to be about you.

Examples of the types of personal information that we may collect include:

  • Your name;
  • Your contact details such as address, phone number or email;
  • Your age or date of birth;
  • Your IP address or device identifier; and
  • Geolocation data from your electronic device.

Sometimes we may need to collect sensitive information about you, including:

  • Medical information

We may require such sensitive information in order to provide you with services. If we need to collect, use or disclose sensitive information about you, we will ask for your specific consent unless we are otherwise required or permitted to do so without your specific consent by law.

How We Collect Personal Information

We collect personal information directly from you unless it is unreasonable or impractical to do so. Ways that we collect personal information from you include:

  • When you provide information to us through forms, applications or social media;
  • When you communicate with or send correspondence to us;
  • Through your purchase of products or services from us; and

Through your use and access of our website. Your personal information may also be collected through the use of cookies or other similar technology on our website. Such technology is designed to automatically collect both personal information sent by your electronic device (such as IP address, device identifier and geolocation data) and non-personal, analytical information in order to enhance the user experience.

We will collect personal information directly from you unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so. If we do collect your personal information from a third party, we will only do so when we have your consent or if we are otherwise required or permitted to do so without your consent by law.

Access to Your Personal Information

You have a right to request access to your personal information collected and held by us. This includes the right to:

  • ask us what information we hold about you;
  • receive a copy of your personal information that we hold; and
  • have your personal information held by us corrected or updated.

However, in some circumstances we may refuse access to your personal information. This includes where:

  • you fail to supply us with sufficient identification information for us to verify your identity or your authority to access someone else’s personal information;
  • giving access may pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual or the public in general; and
  • giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals.

You can request access to your personal information by contacting us using the details provided under the “Complaints and Contact Information” section of this privacy policy. We will endeavour to respond to any request for access to personal information within 30 days.

Overseas Disclosure of Your Personal Information

We may share certain personal information collected by us with overseas entities outside of Australia for the purposes of storing data and providing marketing material. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that overseas entities receiving your personal information will not breach the Australian privacy regulations when dealing with your personal information.

The overseas entities likely to receive your personal information are located in the following countries:

  • the United States of America

Security and Data Retention

We endeavour to take all reasonable steps necessary to protect the personal information collected by us. This includes physical security measures on our premises and electronic security measures such as firewalls, anti-virus, password restrictions and data encryption.

Your personal information may be retained for purposes set out in this privacy policy after the conclusion of the provision of our products or services to you. For example, we may need to keep historical records in order to comply with our legal obligations, or you may have consented to continue receiving marketing and promotional material from us. Wherever possible, we will destroy or de-identify your personal information as soon as practicable once it becomes no longer necessary to retain them for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

Updates to Our Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. You will be notified of any updates by email where you have provided us with an email address.

The latest updated version of this privacy policy will always be published on our website at Eaglegate.com.au
