Preamble
This policy
document is intended to set out the Fraser Group of Companies ("Frasers")
policies on its management of personal information as required by the
National Privacy Principles (NPP) and in particular NPP 5.1
Objective
The objective
of this policy document is to set out a statement of the way in which
Frasers handles personal information relating to its customers.
This objective
is to be achieved by ensuring that Frasers:
1. Only collects
necessary information.
2. Informs the customer of the purposes for which the information is collected.
3. Informs the customer as to whom the information is likely to be disclosed.
4. Takes all reasonable steps to ensure that personal information collected,
used or disclosed by it is accurate, complete and up to date.
5. Ensures that personal information collected will be protected from
misuse, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
6. That where personal information is no longer needed for any authorised
purpose, it will be destroyed or permanently de-identified.
Frasers are
committed to the National Privacy Principles in the following ways:
NPP 1
- Collection
So that Frasers can provide products & services to customers, we may
ask for personal details such as name, address, telephone number or email
address. Some examples of where Frasers may need these details are for
motorcycle sales receipts, service information & for making insurance
disclosures on behalf of customers as well as in-store competitions. Privacy
law requires us to collect personal information about individual &
only individuals if it is reasonable & practical to do so. In all
such instances, Fraser will identify themselves s the organisation collecting
this information.
NPP 2
- Use & Disclosure
The personal information that we ask for is generally used to provide
goods & services to customers - for example, we need customer's names
& addresses & telephone numbers for the recognition & facilitation
of a sales contract with them. We also use this information to relate
warranty & recall information to the sale. We may also use personal
information to provide customers with superior service in advising them
of new products & services. Advising customers fo product availability
& conducting qualitative marketing surveys to improve products &
service quality, may also necessitate the use of personal information.
Customers
have the right to instruct us not to send information to them other than
of the main purpose for which we have collected the information. Customers
also have ht right to tell us not to disclose personal information to
other organisations other than for the main purpose for which we have
collected the information.
Where possible,
we try to ensure the disclosure of information to other organisations
(for example market researcher & those we have commercial arrangements
with) is in a format, which does not personally identify individuals.
NPP 3
& 4 - Data Quality & Security
Frasers is committed to the privacy principle that requires organisations
to take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information records
(paper & electronic formats) is accurate, complete & up to date
at the time of collection, use & disclosure. Such measures include:
Protecting
customer information it holds from misuse & loss & from unauthorised
access or disclosure.
Storing the
information securely through physical constraints such as keeping the
information in a restricted access facility, or technological constraints
such as encryption & passwords.
Destroy &/or
de-identify personal information that is no longer needed.
NPP 5
& 6 - Openness, Access & Correction
This document acts as the official policy relating to the National Privacy
Principles & represents Frasers commitment to the reasonable use &
disclosure of personal information. This policy document is available
for inspection at all of Frasers places of business. Further, on request
by an individual, Frasers will take reasonable steps to let the individual
know what information is holds about that person, for what purpose &
how it collects, holds, uses & discloses the personal information.
The point of contact for accessing this policy document & an individual's
personal information is the policy officer.
NPP 7
- Identifiers
Generally speaking, Frasers will not adopt, use or disclose an identifier
that has been assigned by a Commonwealth government agency. A tax file
number as assigned to an individual by the Australian Taxation Office
is an example of such an identifier.
NPP 8
- Anonymity
Frasers will give individuals the option to interact anonymously whenever
it is lawful & practicable to do. As an example, Frasers will ask
individuals for their consent to the use of their personal information
for the purpose of qualitative marketing surveys in every circumstance
where this may be the possible use & disclosure.
NPP9 -
Transborder Data Flows
Frasres is committed to ensuring that personal information that is transferred
to a recipient in a foreign country is done so with the appropriate protection.
The electronic transfer of personal information for the purposes of product
warranty & recall delivery is securely transmitted.
NPP 10
- Sensitive Information
Frasers is committed to not collecting sensitive information unless individuals
have consented, or it is required by law or in other special circumstances.
As an example Frasers may disclose personal information relating to health
service provision or for an individuals or the public's heath & safety.
Fraser have
appointed a Privacy Officer who will be responsible for the monitoring
& reporting on compliance together with being Fraser's main contact
point for any concerns or complaints regarding the reasonable use &
disclosure of personal information in relation to the Act.
