78˚ Privacy Policy

In this Privacy Policy, ‘us’ ‘we’ or ‘our’ means 78˚ We are committed to respecting your privacy. Our Privacy Policy sets outs out how we collect, use, store and disclose your personal information.

In collecting, using, storing and disclosing and otherwise managing your personal information, we will comply with the ‘Privacy Act’, which:

By providing personal information to us, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any other arrangements that apply between us. We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing changes to it on our website. We encourage you to check our website periodically to ensure that you are aware of our current Privacy Policy.

What personal information do we collect?

The kinds of personal information collected and held by us will vary depending on your particular dealings with us. However, generally speaking, the types of personal information we may collect from you include:

You do not have to provide us with any personal information, however, if you do not provide personal information that we request, we may not be able to complete a transaction you have entered into, finalise payment of a product or service you have ordered, make delivery of a product you have ordered, grant credit terms, validate your entry in a promotion, or otherwise provide you with the products, services or benefits you have requested.

We will not normally collect sensitive information about you from you or any third party. Sensitive information includes information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, health or medical conditions, genetic or biometric information, sexual orientation, or criminal convictions and offences. We will only use or collect this information if necessary to comply with laws and regulations or where you provide this information voluntarily or otherwise consent for us to do so.

We may collect these types of personal information either directly from you, or from third parties. We may collect this information when you:

There may be occasions when we collect your personal information from someone other than you, for example:

In addition, when you apply for a job or position with us we may collect certain information from you (including your name, contact details, working history and relevant records checks) from any recruitment consultant, your previous employers and others who may be able to provide information to us to assist in our decision on whether or not to make you an offer of employment or engage you under a contract.

From time to time, you may provide us, and we may collect from you, personal information of a third party (for example, for delivery purposes). Where you provide the personal information of a third party, it is your responsibility to ensure that those persons are aware of this Privacy Policy, understand it and agree to accept it.

Why do we collect, use and disclose personal information?

We will use the personal information it collects for the purpose disclosed at the time of collection, or otherwise as set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose without first seeking your consent, or where authorised or required by law.

Some examples of the purposes for which we may collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information include:

We may also disclose your personal information to a trusted third party who also holds other information about you. This third party may combine that information in order to enable it and us to develop anonymised consumer insights so that we can better understand your preferences and interests, personalise your experience and enhance the products and services that you receive.

Do we use your personal information for direct marketing?

We and/or our carefully selected business partners may send you direct marketing communications and information about our services and products. This may take the form of emails, SMS, mail or other forms of communication, in accordance with the Spam Act and the Privacy Act.

To whom do we disclose your personal information?

We may disclose personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy to:

Disclosure of personal information outside Australia

We are likely to disclose some of your personal information, for the purposes described above, to organisations (including our third party suppliers and cloud providers) located outside of Australia, including in the United States of America.

Some of these countries may not have the same or substantially similar privacy laws as those set out in this Privacy Policy and the Australian Privacy Principles (if you are located in Australia) or the Information Privacy Principles (if you are located in New Zealand). We may not require organisations to which we disclose personal information in those countries to comply with similar privacy laws, and accordingly your personal information may not receive the same protections that it would in your country. By providing your personal information to us, you consent to our disclosure of your personal information to organisations in those countries even though it may not receive the same protections that it would in your country.
