This Privacy Statement outlines how we, LeaseChoice, will manage the information it collects from you. We understand and appreciate that you, as a LeaseChoice Website visitor, are concerned about your privacy and about the confidentiality and security of information we may gain about you online. LeaseChoice is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement explains how we may treat your personal information as you access and interact with the LeaseChoice Website. The Privacy Statement applies to personal information as defined under the Privacy Act 1988 (C'th). We may use or disclose this information in the ways that are described in this Privacy Statement.
We encourage you to review the Privacy Statement periodically because the Privacy Statement may change from time to time.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
In most circumstances, the information we may collect from you will be related to corporate or business information unrelated to you personally. In some circumstances the information we request may be personal information. This information may include first names, surname, home address, e-mail address, birth date, personal financial details, Australian Business Number, tax file number and other personal information.
We will collect and hold your personal information for the purpose of providing you with a relevant product or service (including assessing your application and identifying you). LeaseChoice may also collect your personal information for the purpose of letting you know about products and services available from LeaseChoice.
We will, when it is reasonable or practical to do so, collect the personal information directly from you. This may be when you fill out an enquiry form or application form from the LeaseChoice Website.
In some cases we will collect your personal information from third parties, such as credit reporting agencies, your representative (such as your legal adviser), your financial adviser or your employer.
The LeaseChoice Website may also contain links to the websites of third party providers of goods and services ("Third Party Websites").
If you have accessed Third Party Websites through the LeaseChoice Website and if those third parties collect personal information about you, we may also collect or have access to that information as part of our arrangements with those third parties. Third Party Websites may contain their own privacy statements and those third parties are responsible for informing you about their own privacy practices.
USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
We will use the personal information you have supplied to us to further the purpose of providing you with our products or services or assessing your application for our product or services. In using the personal information in this way, the personal information you have supplied to us may be disclosed to a credit-reporting agency, a financial institution or supplier of credit or other party to further the purposes aforementioned.
We may also disclose information if required or permitted by law to disclose the information, or in the circumstances set out in any declaration that may be noted in an application for finance on a LeaseChoice Website.
We may preserve the content of any e-mail that you send us, especially if we believe that we have a legal requirement to do so. We may use or disclose any personal information contained in your e-mail, including your e-mail address in the ways set out in this Privacy Statement. Our Internet Service Provider or LeaseChoice employees may monitor your e-mail message content for trouble shooting and maintenance purposes, or where e-mail abuse is suspected.
MARKETING
We may use your personal information to let you know about our products and services. We may use service providers (such as a posting service) to assist us. You may "opt out" of this service by contacting LeaseChoice through the Contact Us link on a LeaseChoice Web Page.
UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION, SECURITY AND ACCESS
We aim that the personal information you have provided is complete and up to date. If you believe your personal information is not accurate, please contact us.
We store information in different ways, including paper or electronic methods. The security of your personal information is important and we take reasonable steps to ensure it from misuse and unauthorised access, including confidentiality requirements of our employees, security measures for systems access, document storage procedure and access control to our premises.
If you wish to access your personal information, you should contact LeaseChoice by way of the contact details noted on the LeaseChoice Website. There may be exceptions to any application for access to your personal information, and we will give you reasons if we deny access.
