Central to the success of Galvin Engineering (meaning Galvin Engineering Pty Ltd and its related bodies corporate) is our commitment to our customers. We take seriously our obligation to respect and protect the privacy of the personal information of individuals with whom we deal. This policy is in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles contained within.
We collect personal information about you which is reasonably necessary to:
We collect such information in two ways, first from information you give us and information we get from your use of our services such as when you visit our websites which contain our advertising and you view and interact with our ads and content. In some cases, we collect personal information from third parties including public sources and our related companies and only ever by lawful and correct means.
We do not foresee use and disclosure of sensitive information about you will ever be necessary for any of our functions or activities –meaning information relating to race and ethnicity, political opinion, religious beliefs, sexual preferences and health information. Regardless, it can only come about with your consent.
We may collect information about your affiliation with certain organisations such as professional, trade or hobby associations.
From time to time, Galvin Engineering may conduct online surveys that ask you for demographic data, like household information, ages, and so on. Participation in these surveys is always voluntary. Galvin Engineering aggregates the responses we receive before using the information to improve the product offering and services we offer.
Galvin Engineering may also offer contests that ask for some personal information, such as name and email address, so that we can contact winners.
We also collect personal information from people who submit applications or register interest for employment with us.
We use and disclose personal information about you for the purpose for which it was disclosed to us, or for related purposes which would reasonably be expected where we have consent to do so, or the disclosure is permitted as required by law.
For example, we may use and disclose personal information to process orders and requests, administer and manage our products and services including monitoring, auditing, and evaluating those products and services, model and test data, communicate with you and deal with any complaints or enquiries. We may also use and disclose your personal information (on a confidential basis) in connection with acquisitions, mergers or changes in control of our business or assets.
We also use your personal information for marketing purposes such as to provide information about products, promotions and services which we expect may be of interest to you. However, we do respect your right to ask us not to do this. We have a simple opt-out regime in place.
We do not sell personal information to other organisations to allow them to do this.
We may share personal information inside of Galvin Engineering, and may disclose personal information outside of Galvin Engineering:
In some circumstances the parties with whom we share personal information may operate outside of Australia e.g. New Zealand and the USA. Where this occurs, we take steps to protect personal information against misuse or loss.
We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that is collected, used or disclosed is as accurate and complete as is possible and is up- to- date. You can contact us at any time and ask for its correction or if you feel the information we have about you is irrelevant to its use.
We use security procedures and technology to protect the information we hold. Our practice in relation to access to and use of personal information within our Company seeks to prevent misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
If other organisations provide support services, we require them to appropriately safeguard the privacy of the information provided to them.
Where the personal information we collect is no longer required, we delete the information or permanently de-identify it.
If your access to our services is password protected, we recommend you do not disclose your password to anyone. To further protect your personal information, your log-in time may automatically expire after a certain period of inactivity.
In the event of an eligible data breach [as defined in the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme within the Privacy Act], the Company will notify the affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in line with the NDB scheme guidelines. Note – the NDB scheme only applies to breaches that occur on or after 22 February 2018.
You can contact us as set out below to request access to or make a correction of your personal information. In normal circumstances we will give you full access or make the requested corrections to your information. However, atypically for an entity such as Galvin Engineering, there may be legal or administrative reasons to refuse the amendment request and if this is the case we will provide you with the reasons why. If you disagree, you may ask us to make a note that your requested correction be held and associated with the information.
