2. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal Information

For products and services we provide, it is often necessary for us to collect ‘personal information’. Personal Information is any information about an individual that identifies them or by which their identity can be reasonably ascertained.

The personal information we collect will usually be your name, identity details, residential address, mailing address, contact details (including email and phone number(s)), demographic information such as post codes, preferences and interests about our products and services, and other information relevant to customer surveys, social media, product research and/or offers.

Information collected from your online activity

When you use our website, we may collect information about your location or activity including your IP address, telephone number and whether you have accessed third-party sites from our website. We refer to this information as ‘Website Information’.

Some Website Information is collected using cookies (see section further below on ‘HOW WE USE COOKIES’) and is used to improve our services and enhance your online experience with us and does not identify the internet browser. Where we do identify you (such as where you have logged onto one of our online services), we treat any use of disclosure of that information in accordance with this policy.

Personal information collected from employment candidates

If you have applied for employment with us or an entity in the Group, this privacy policy applies to your personal information that you share with us or the Group, or that is otherwise acquired by us or the Group, during the application and/or recruitment process, including but not limited to:

  • your name, address, email address, telephone number and other contact information;

  • personal information contained in your CV, resume, cover letter and other accompanying documents relating to your application;

  • personal information obtained from interviews and reference checks (including referee checks and National Police Check); and

  • personal information obtained from publicly available sources.

We collect your personal information so that we can carry out the application and recruitment process, which includes, but is not limited to, assessing your application and skills, identifying you, verifying your information, conducting reference checks (including referee checks and National Police Checks), and complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

3. WHY WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We collect your personal information (including Website Information) so we can:

  • identify you and conduct appropriate checks;

  • understand your requirements and provide you with a product or service;

  • set up, administer and manage our products and services;

  • tailor your experience on our website, showing you individually tailored content;

  • manage, train and develop our employees and representatives;

  • manage complaints and disputes, and report to dispute resolution bodies;

  • comply with our legal obligations;

  • get a better understanding of you, your needs, your behaviours and how you interact with us, so we can engage in product and service research, development and business strategy including managing the delivery of our services and products via the ways we communicate with you; and

  • provide you with marketing materials and offers.

All phone calls to our customer relations team are recorded for quality and training purposes. You must notify the customer relations representative if you do not wish to be recorded.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your express consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

4. WHAT WE DO WITH INFORMATION WE DID NOT ASK FOR

Where we receive unsolicited information, we will check whether that information is reasonably necessary for or directly related to our functions or activities. If it is, we will handle this information the same way described in ‘HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?’ If the information is not reasonably necessary, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy the information or permanently de-identify it as soon as practicable, provided it is lawful and reasonable to do so.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than is required for the purpose for which it was collected, or as otherwise required or permitted by law. When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or permanently de-identify it.

5. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT GIVE US YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

If you choose not to provide us with the information we have requested, we may not be able to provide you with our services or products, and/or properly manage and administer services and products provided to you.

6. HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We will collect personal information directly from you, and in some cases, from other people or organisations. This may take place in several ways, such as when a form for a product or service is completed or a product or service is requested over the telephone, internet, via social media, SMS or email. If you provide us with information about someone else, you must only do so with their consent and agree to make them aware of this privacy policy.

Regardless of who provides personal information to us, it will always be handled by Ficeda in accordance with this privacy policy.

7. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
