This Privacy Policy may be overridden in certain circumstances. For example, when we collect personal information from you, we may notify you of a specific purpose for collecting that personal information, in which case we will handle your personal information in accordance with that stated purpose.

With your consent and when you grant us permission, we will from time to time collect location data from your electronic device.  We may also derive your approximate location from the IP address of your electronic device. Additionally, we may collect any other personal information you choose to add to your user profile, including account and billing details (such as your Apple account, Google Play account, Windows account, PayPal account or other third-party payment channel account).

3. How we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information

3.1 Collecting personal information

We may collect or ask you to provide personal information when you use the Airtec App, our Website or the Services. 

We may also collect your personal information from third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers and credit reference agencies) who may provide to us information about you.  Where we collect personal information from third parties, we will take reasonable steps to notify you or otherwise ensure you know we are collecting personal information about you and the circumstances of its collection.

When collecting personal information, we will take reasonable steps to make you aware of certain details including the purposes for which personal information is being collected by us, the organisations to which we would usually disclose your information, the main consequences for you if you fail to provide any information that is requested by us, and whether we are likely to disclose your information to overseas recipients as well as the countries any such recipients are located in.  This Privacy Policy provides these details as they typically apply in most cases, however different details may apply depending on our specific interaction with you.  If we do not notify you of such other details, the information in this Privacy Policy applies.

There may be a range of consequences if you fail to provide information requested by us.  For example, you will not be able to create an account for the Airtec App, which is a requirement for your use of the Airtec App, or the Airtec App may not function properly.  The provision of personal information by you is purely voluntary.

By providing us with personal information, you consent to the supply of that information subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

3.2 Holding personal information

We take reasonable industry-standard steps to ensure that your personal information is protected from loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, and other misuse.

Specific security measures we employ include: 

maintenance of computer technology, people and process-based security measures, including firewalls, network security configurations and the use of passwords;

restriction of access to data to only those staff that need access to carry out their duties; 

internal procedures to protect physical documents; 

staff training and internal policies regarding confidentiality of personal information; and 

monitoring of our practices and systems to ensure the effectiveness of our security policies.

We will endeavour to destroy or de-identify your personal information as soon as it is no longer required by us (and as permitted by law).

From time to time, we will collect, use and disclose your personal information for a particular purpose (‘the primary purpose’).  We generally collect, hold and use your personal information:

We may use or disclose the personal information we hold about you for other purposes (‘secondary purpose’).  We may use or disclose your personal information for a secondary purpose when you consent, or we may do so without your consent, when:the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose, and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information for that secondary purpose;]

the secondary purpose involves direct marketing and:

6.2 Email and enquiry forms

We may collect personal information from you if you send us an email or if you submit information to us using an enquiry form via our Website. We will use this personal information to contact you, respond to your message, to send you information that you request, and for other related purposes we consider you would reasonably expect.

8. Notifiable data breaches

A data breach occurs when personal information is lost or subject to unauthorised access, modification, disclosure, or other misuse or interference. A data breach may be intentional or unintentional.

Examples of a data breach thathat may meet the definition of an eligible data breach under the Privacy Act include when:

a device (such as a laptop) containing personal information is lost or stolen;

a database containing personal information is accessed without authorisation; or

personal information is mistakenly provided to the wrong person.

The Privacy Act only requires notification when an ‘eligible data breach’ occurs. An eligible data breach occurs when:

there is unauthorised access to or disclosure of personal information that we hold (or information is lost in circumstances where unauthorised access or disclosure is likely to occur); and

this is likely to result in serious harm to any of the individuals to whom the information relates; and
we have been unable to prevent the likely risk of serious harm with remedial action.

Where we suspect that an eligible data breach may have occurred, we will carry out a reasonable and prompt assessment of whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that an eligible data breach has occurred.  If, based on that assessment, there are reasonable grounds to believe that an eligible data breach has occurred, we will:

immediately take appropriate steps, decided on a case-by-case basis, to contain the breach and prevent further breaches;

prepare an eligible data breach statement (‘Statement’) as prescribed under the Privacy Act, and submit the Statement to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (‘OAIC’);  

notify individuals to whom the relevant information relates or who are at risk from the breach either:

directly, by taking reasonable steps to notify the contents of the Statement to each of the affected individuals; or 

if that is not possible, by publishing the contents of the Statement on our Website and taking reasonable steps to publicise the contents of the Statement; 

and review the incident and consider action to prevent future breaches.

9. Changes

We reserve the right, as it may be necessary, to review, revise or make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time.  We will notify you of material changes to this Privacy Policy by posting a notice through the Airtec App or the Website.  Please check the Privacy Policy from time to time.  In the event of any such change, by continuing to use the Airtec App or Website, you agree to the relevant change. 

You may request a hard copy of the current version of our Privacy Policy by contacting our Privacy Officer (contact details for our Privacy Officer are set out in paragraph 10 of this Privacy Policy).

10. Complaints

If you would like further information about the way we manage personal information we hold, or wish to complain that you believe we may have breached the APPs, please contact our Privacy Officer in writing (contact details for our Privacy Officer are set out in paragraph 10 of this Privacy Policy). We will investigate any complaint and will notify you of a decision in relation to your complaint as soon as is practicable.
