Privacy

This privacy policy (“Policy”) sets out how we at Repurpose-It Pty Ltd (ACN 617 095 413) (“Repurpose-It” and “we”) treat the privacy of our customers and those with whom we interact.

In this privacy policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and includes information about an identifiable individual, including names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, date of birth, credit and banking details, CV and employment details and if and where applicable, includes information that constitutes “sensitive information”, including some health information.

This Policy should be read carefully by users of our website at www.repurposeit.com.au (“the Site”) and prospective users of our services prior to accessing or using our information and services.

1. Our commitment to you

Repurpose-It takes your privacy seriously, and strictly adheres to the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) . We will only collect personal information that is necessary for us to provide our services and carry on our business.

This Policy outlines our practices relating to the collection, storage, use and disclosure of personal information. Whenever you provide personal information to us, we will treat that information in accordance with this Policy.

2. Openness and transparency

Repurpose-It has set out in this document our policies on the management of personal information. On request by a person for access to, or for correction of, personal information, Repurpose-It will respond to the request within a reasonable period of time.

We may collect personal information about individuals. The types of personal information we most frequently collect include, in relation to an individual, their name, date of birth, signature, home address, business address, email address, telephone numbers, health information, employment and employment history details, details of professional memberships, associations, affiliations with relevant industry bodies, government issued identifiers and banking and credit card details.

Our usual approach is to collect personal information directly from the individual concerned or their authorised representative, where reasonably practicable. Repurpose-It will not collect personal information unless the information is reasonably necessary for one or more of the primary purposes of:

providing our services;
our internal management needs; and
our marketing activities.

We will collect personal information only by lawful and fair means, and not in an unreasonably intrusive way.

you register with us and use the features of our Site or services available; o when paying for goods or services;
you opt in to receive news, alerts, information and other marketing materials from us;
you provide us with feedback or complete one of our online forms; o we are required to do so for regulatory or other legal purposes;
when evaluating job applicants and personnel; and/or
you otherwise deal commercially with us.

When you access our Site via a browser or application, our servers automatically record certain information. These server logs may include information such as your web request, your interaction with a service, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your account.

4. How we use your information

Repurpose-It may use and disclose your personal information that it collects for the primary purpose for which it was collected, as set out in clause 3 of this Policy.

We use the personal information collected from you for the purpose it was provided or collected (as indicated above), including in the following ways:

To respond to enquiries received from you;
To provide services and to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us;
To perform authorised financial transactions with you;
To verify your identity and to assist you if you have forgotten any user name or password;
To communicate with you and provide you with information (whether by email, post or other means) about our services, where you have requested or consented to receiving this from us or where this provision is otherwise permitted under the Australian Privacy Principles;
To notify you about changes to our Site and services;
To receive and address feedback or complaints from you; and
To protect our legal interests and fulfil our regulatory obligations (if and to the extent necessary).

5. Disclosing personal information

We will only disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:

Where we have your express consent;
Where it can be reasonably inferred in the circumstances that you consent to the disclosure to third parties;
To our contractors for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf;
We may from time to time engage service providers to help us deliver our services to you. In these instances, we may disclose your personal information to these third parties in order to help deliver services to you. Your personal information will not be used for any other purpose and these service providers are not able to use it for their own purposes or disclose it to others;
Where disclosure is required or authorised by or under law or a court or tribunal order;
Where we reasonably believe that the disclosure is reasonably necessary for one or more enforcement activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body; and
Where disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights or intellectual property or to protect the safety of our employees, users or the public as required or permitted by law.

We limit the personal information we provide to third parties to the information they need to help us provide or facilitate the provision of services to our customers. This may include to related entities such as Downer EDI Limited, for safety and training purposes and also for management and provision of our IT systems.

We deal with third parties that are required to meet the privacy standards required by law in handling your personal information and to use your personal information only for the purposes we give it to them.

If you opt in to receive email marketing communications from us, these will be sent to you directly by us. We will only send marketing communications to people who have opted to receive them. You can unsubscribe from receiving these communications at any time.

In the event Repurpose-It goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personal information may be among the assets transferred. We will ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such transactions.

6. Transfer of personal information overseas

We do not transfer personal information overseas.

7. How we protect your information

We will act to protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. We are committed to keeping the personal information you provide to us secure. We take all reasonable precautions to protect the personal information we hold about you from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We restrict access to personal information to those who have a need to know, we maintain technological products to prevent unauthorised computer access and regularly review our technology to maintain security.

We will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed for the purpose for which the information was disclosed.

8. Access to your personal information

You are able to gain access to the personal information that we hold about you at any time and can raise concerns, complaints or ask for corrections. A request for access should be made in accordance with section 12 of this Policy.

Your right to access is subject to some exceptions allowed by law. Factors affecting a right to access include:

Where we reasonably believe that providing access would pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual, or to public health or public safety;
Where providing access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others;
Where the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
The information relates to a commercially sensitive decision making process;
Where providing access would be unlawful;
Denying access is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order; or
Access would prejudice enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body (for example, enforcement activities relating to criminal activities and other breaches of law, public revenue, a security function or negotiations with you).

If Repurpose-It is not required to provide the individual with access to the information because one of the exceptions set out in clause 8 of this Policy apply, we will take such steps (if any) as are reasonable in the circumstances to give access in a way that meets the needs of the entity and the individual, and may consider whether the use of mutually agreed intermediaries would allow sufficient access to meet the needs of both parties.

We will provide reasons if we deny you access to your personal information, including contact details of the Australian Privacy Commissioner who will receive and deal with complaints.

9. Keeping your information up-to-date

We aim to make sure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. We will take reasonable steps to make sure that this is the case so that we can provide you with better services.

If you believe your personal information is not up to date, please contact us by the means specified in paragraph 13.
