The following statement sets out Slick Promotions' policy relating to the collection, storage and use of personal information. Our purpose is to assure anyone who does business with us that Slick Promotions will comply with both the letter and spirit of the Privacy Act 1988.
1. Compliance with Privacy Legislation
Slick Promotions takes seriously its obligation to safeguard personal information about its customers. This policy formalises and strengthens this commitment to our customers. Slick Promotions complies with the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) in the Privacy Act 1988.
2. Collection of Personal Information
Personal information is generally defined as information or an opinion that can identify a person. The type of personal information that Slick Promotions may collect from you will depend upon what dealings you may have with Slick Promotions. For example, Slick Promotions may require more information about you to place an order than it may require to enable you to enter a competition. We collect information from you directly and from your use of our products and services.
3. Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
Slick Promotions operates a business that handles personal information. In general, our policy is that we only use or disclose personal information for the purpose which was either specified or reasonably apparent at the time we collected it. We may also use or disclose it for any other related purpose for which you would reasonably expect it to be used.
If Slick Promotions wishes to use or disclose the personal information in other circumstances it will obtain your permission to do so, other than in exceptional circumstances such as:
- where Slick Promotions reasonably believes it is necessary to protect any person and / or Slick Promotions' rights or property; or
- the use is authorised by law or is reasonably necessary to enforce the law (for example, if Slick Promotions is required to disclose the information to regulatory authorities or in response to subpoenas or warrants).
4. Sharing information with other organisations
Slick Promotions will not sell your personal information to other companies. The only circumstances in which external organisations may be given access to your personal information are when our contractors and service providers are helping us operate our business or provide a service to you (for example, a company which helps maintain our computer systems or sends out our mail). We require these organisations to agree to our Privacy Policy and to strict conditions governing how this information may be used.
5. Marketing
Slick Promotions will only send advertising mail to you if:
- you have indicated your permission to receive such mail; or
- where the advertising mail is related to the purpose for which the information was collected, or
- if it would be within an individual's reasonable expectations to receive such mail.
