Autowholesale.com.au is committed to complying with
Commonwealth legislation governing privacy of personal information by
businesses and to protecting and safeguarding your privacy when you deal
with us.
|
Collection of information
|
3.
|
Some information provided to us by clients, customers,
contractors and other third parties might be considered private or
personal. Without these details we would not be able to carry on our
business and provide our services to you. We will only collect such
personal information if it is necessary for one of our functions or
activities.
|
|

In particular, personal information is collected from people
in the following situations by Autowholesale.com.au:

|
When you submit your e-mail address to our web site mailing
list.
|
|
|

At or before the time the personal information is collected by
us we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of who
we are, the fact that you are able to gain access to the information held
about you, the purpose of the collection, the type(s) of organisations to
which we usually disclose the information collected about you, any laws
requiring the collection of the information and the main consequences for
you if all or part of the information is not collected.

Use of information collected and disclosure of personal
information to others

We may use or disclose personal information held about an
individual for the primary purpose for which it is collected (eg. provision
of our services, including administration of our services, notification to
you about changes to our services, record-keeping following termination of
our services to you and technical maintenance). We may also use such
information for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and
where it would reasonably be expected by you that we would use the
information in such a way. This information is only disclosed to persons
outside our business in the circumstances set out in this policy or as
otherwise notified to you at the time of collection of the information.

|

In addition we are permitted to use or disclose personal
information held about you:
|
•
|
Where you have consented to the use or disclosure;

|
•
|
Where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is
necessary to lessen or prevent a serious, immediate threat to someone's
health or safety or the public's health or safety;
|
|
•
|
Where we reasonably suspect that unlawful activity has been,
is being or may be engaged in and the use or disclosure is a necessary
part of our investigation or in reporting the matter to the relevant
authorities;
|
|
•
|
Where such use or disclosure is required under or authorised
by law (for example, to comply with a subpoena, a warrant or other order
of a court or legal process);
|
|
•
|
Where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is
reasonably necessary for prevention, investigation, prosecution and
punishment of crimes or wrongdoings or the preparation for, conduct of,
proceedings before any court or tribunal or the implementation of the
orders of a court or tribunal by or on behalf of an enforcement body.
