PRIVACY POLICY

NeoWorld Pty Ltd A.C.N. 674 654 007

General

NeoWorld Pty Ltd and its related entities (referred to in this document as ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) operate www.neoworld.com.au (‘Site’). We recognise that your privacy is very important and we are committed to protecting the personal information we collect from you. The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (‘Privacy Act’), and the Australian Privacy Principles (‘APP’) govern the way in which we must manage your personal information and this policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage personal information about you.

Collection

Types of information collected

We may collect and hold information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you (‘Personal Information’). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to:

  • your name;
  • date of birth;
  • contact details (including address, email address, phone number);
  • financial information (such as credit card or bank account numbers);
  • sensitive information to assist in the recovery of a lost or forgotten password;
  • information about how you use our products and services; and
  • Information that your browser sends us when you visit the Site (‘Log Data’). Log Data includes information such as your computer’s internet protocol (‘IP’), your location, the pages of the Site you visit, how long you spend on those pages and the time and date of your visit.
This is not an exhaustive list. We may need to collect additional information about you from time to time to provide products or services to you.

Purpose of collection

The type of 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 for the purposes of:

  • providing products or services to you or someone else you know;
  • issuing tax invoices for the products or services we may provide to you from time to time;
  • providing you with information about other services that we, our related entities and other organisations that we have affiliations with, offer that may be of interest to you;
  • facilitating our internal business operations, including the fulfilment of any legal requirements; and
  • analysing our services and customer needs with a view to developing new or improved services.

Method of collection

Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through the use of any of our standard forms (such as when you enter into an agreement with us, contact us with a query or request, submit your details through our website or by email). We may also collect information other than directly from you where it is unreasonable or impractical to not do so, for example:

  • from third parties such as our related entities, business partners, or your representatives;
  • from publicly available sources of information;
  • from our records of how you use our services; and
  • from the third parties we list in the section of this policy with the heading ‘Use and disclosure’.
We will usually notify you in advance when we indirectly collect information, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.

If you choose not to provide certain information about you, we may not be able to provide you with the products or services you require, or the level of service on which we pride ourselves.

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 products or services you, or they, are seeking.

How we hold your personal information

The security of your personal information is of paramount importance to us. We store your personal information in different ways, including in paper and in electronic form.

Any bank or credit card details you provide and that we store will be encrypted, and any tax invoices we issue to you will not display your full bank or credit card details.

The security of your personal information is important to us. We take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is stored safely to protect it from misuse, loss, interference, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

If we no longer need your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected or for purposes which are directly related to one or more of our functions and activities, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy it or permanently remove all identifying features from that information. This obligation is subject to any legal requirement or Court order to retain the information.

We accept our obligation to keep personal information safe. Should personal data systems be breached or data is misused or lost, then we will take all reasonable and practicable means to contact individuals whose personal information is involved. We will advise such individuals of the extent of the data breach (if known) and advise individuals of the most appropriate means of regaining control of their personal information.

We will take reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date.

If we refuse to correct your personal information, we will give you a written notice that sets out our reasons for our refusal (unless it would be unreasonable to provide those reasons), including details of the mechanisms available to you to make a complaint.
