Cumberland Suzuki Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Management of Personal Information

 

 

1.     Introduction

At Cumberland Suzuki, we recognise the importance of your privacy and understand your concerns about the security of the personal information you provide to us.  We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) as contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). The APPs detail how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, stored and destroyed, and how an individual may gain access to or make complaints about the personal information held about them. 

This privacy policy deals with how we manage personal information collected by us. We are committed to protecting the personal information that we hold about you.

2.     Personal information we collect and hold

“Personal information” is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or about an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

“Sensitive Information”, a sub-set of personal information, is information or an opinion about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, political association membership, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, professional or trade association membership, trade union membership, sexual orientation or practices or criminal record, and includes health information and genetic information.

In the course of doing business, we endeavour to collect business information only.  However, the collection of personal information in some instances is necessary or unavoidable. 

The kinds of personal information we collect from you or about you depend on the transaction you have entered into with us, the goods and services you or your organisation have contracted us to provide, and the goods and services you or your organisation are interested in. 

If you are a current or prospective retail customer of Cumberland Suzuki, the kinds of personal information that we commonly collect and hold from you or about you may include: your name, address, gender, date of birth, telephone numbers, fax number, email address, driver's license details, vehicle registration details, details of your current and previous vehicles, occupation and employment details, voice and image, location and anti-theft vehicle tracking technology in loan, courtesy and demonstrator vehicles, personal interests, financial information, and your banking, credit history and/or credit card details when you make a purchase.

 

If you are a prospective employee or contractor to Cumberland Suzuki, the kinds of personal information that we commonly collect and hold from you or about you may include:  your name, address, gender, date of birth, telephone numbers, voice and image, email address, education, qualifications and employment experience, background checks, and referee checks.

 

Generally, we do not collect sensitive or health information. However, your drivers’ licence details may disclose sensitive information to us, and we may collect sensitive information about you (eg, health information, background checks) if you are applying for a position with us.  We may also collect sensitive information from you or about you where there is a legal requirement to do so, or where we are otherwise permitted by law. In all other situations, we will specifically seek your consent.

Your personal information is kept in secure locations, and access to it is restricted to those who have the appropriate authorization under our policies. Where we share the information with third parties, we ensure they also have appropriate policies and security in place.

We will retain your personal information whilst it is required for any of our business functions or purposes as outlined in this Policy, or other lawful purpose in accordance with the Privacy Act.
