This Privacy Policy (Policy) sets out how SPC Global Ltd (ACN 633 584 693) (“SPC”) and its related entities (“we”, “us” and “our”) collect, use, disclose and hold personal information.

YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT

We are subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs“) (together, “Privacy Laws”).

Privacy Laws regulate the collection and use of “personal information”, which includes information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We only collect personal information where the information is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities. We collect personal information by various means (including, but not limited to, when you view our website, fill in a form, send us an e-mail, enter a competition, or speak to one of our representatives. We will only collect personal information about you from third parties when it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect it from you directly, or when you have given us permission to do so.

This information may include (but is not limited to) your name, e-mail and mailing addresses, contact numbers, and date of birth. We may also collect information about how you interact with our websites and mobile applications, including (but not limited to) your web browser and version, device type, connection type, IP address, performance metrics and usage information, in order to help us to develop and improve our websites and mobile applications.

We do not generally collect sensitive information about you, but in the event we do need to collect sensitive information, we will only do so where required or authorised by law or with your prior consent.

If you provide us with certain services, for example as a contractor or consultant, we may collect your personal information and, in some circumstances, sensitive information. Examples of where we collect this information include carrying out safety inductions, where we require you to provide driving records or medical certificates, and if we carry out criminal record checks.

If we do not collect the personal information listed above, it may limit our ability to:

  • provide you with information about our products and services;
  • provide you with access to our website; and
  • engage you as an employee, contractor or business partner.

If you provide personal information to us about someone else, you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that information to us. For example, you should take reasonable steps to ensure the individual concerned is aware of the various matters detailed in this Privacy Policy and has consented to the collection, use and disclosure of their personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

USING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use your personal information for the purpose for which it has been provided, any other purpose you have consented to and any other purpose permitted under the Privacy Laws. The primary purpose for which we collect, use and disclose personal information is to manage our operations and promote our business. This may include using your personal information for any of the following purposes:

  • to provide you with information about our products or services, and the products or services of third parties;
  • to assess your application for employment, contracting or consulting services;
  • to accept your application to participate in promotions or competitions run by us;
  • so that you can provide us with services;
  • for handling of complaints;
  • to review, develop and improve the products and services we offer, including to conduct market research, data analytics and statistical analysis in relation to our business;
  • to provide access to, monitor, develop and improve our device-responsive websites and mobile applications, including to make these sites more user-friendly and relevant for your needs; and
  • to ensure compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations.

From time to time, we and our related entities, affiliates and business partners may contact you by mail, telephone, email or other electronic messaging services (such as text, voice, sound or image messages including using automated calling systems) with information about products and services (including discounts and special offers). If you no longer wish to receive marketing or promotional information from us and our affiliates and partners, you can unsubscribe at any time. Instructions on how to unsubscribe are set out in any marketing communication we send to you, or you can contact us through our Privacy Officer using the contact details below. Please allow a reasonable period of time for us to action any request to unsubscribe. There are certain messages relating to the goods and services we provide to you that cannot be unsubscribed from.

We will not sell any personal information that you give us to any third party.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information to third parties for the purposes for which we may use your information as described above. This may include disclosing information to:

  • our related entities;
  • third party organisations such as our affiliates, business partners, advertising partners, mailing and printing houses, IT providers, analytics providers, professional advisors and other service providers; and/or
  • anyone who is considering acquiring an interest in our assets or businesses (or any part of them) as part of a due diligence or sale process.

We will only disclose your personal information for other purposes if you consent, if we are required or authorised by law to do so, where the disclosure is authorised under the Privacy Laws, or where we believe you would reasonably expect us to disclose your personal information for a purpose which is related to (or in the case of sensitive information, directly related to) the primary purpose of collection.

If the owner of our business changes then the new owner may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this Policy.

We do not generally disclose personal information to entities located overseas. In the unlikely event we do need to disclose information overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the Privacy Laws in its handling of the personal information.
