We have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988. The NPPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure and dispose of your Personal Information. 

A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.aoic.gov.au.

What is Personal and Vehicle Information and why do we collect it? 

Personal and Vehicle Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual and a vehicle. Examples of Personal and Vehicle Information we collect include: names, addresses, email addresses, phone, facsimile numbers, vehicle identification numbers and registration numbers.

We don’t guarantee website links or policy of authorised third parties. 

We collect your Personal and Vehicle Information for the primary purpose of providing our services to you, providing information to our clients and marketing. We may also use your Personal and Vehicle Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. You may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by contacting us in writing. 

When we collect Personal and Vehicle Information we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.

Security of Personal and Vehicle Information 

Your Personal and Vehicle Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.
