Privacy Policy
Liquid Mix (WA) Pty Ltd T/A Liquid Mix is dedicated to abide by applicable privacy legislation which governs the ethics for the supervision of personal data. You will find within this policy our management practices for your personal information. Most importantly, we will touch on: 1. The reasons for which we collect personal information; 2. The various types of personal information we collect and hold; 3. How we collect and hold it; 4. How you may complain about privacy matters; 5. Your right to access and seek correction of it; and 6. Our sharing of your personal information overseas. Within clause 8 below, there are some matters whereby this policy does not apply.
1. Personal information: Why do we collect it?
When we collect, hold and use your personal information, we do so primarily to sell and promote our goods and services to you and to improve on the range of our offerings. For example: to learn of your likely preferences so that we may promote our goods and services to you in a way which may be of most interest to you; and to assist in investigating your complaints and enquiries. We disclose personal information we collect for purposes which are incidental to the sale and promotion of our goods and services to you. For example, we may disclose your personal information within our group, to service providers who assist us in our day-to-day business operations and as part of buying or selling businesses. We may collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for other purposes which are within reasonable expectations or where permitted by law. When marketing to you, your personal information is only ever used or disclosed for Liquid Mix’s own purposes. You may opt out of our direct marketing to you. Our direct marketing materials will tell you how to do this. We may de-identify your personal information. We may do this for use and disclosure of the anonymous data to determine preferences and shopping patterns.
2. Personal information: The various kinds that we collect and hold
The personal information we collect and hold is what is reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities. When we collect and hold personal information, it is of the following kinds: your personal details such as your name, addresses, telephone numbers, age and gender; your customer reference number or loyalty card number; whether you have taken up some of our other offerings, such as membership of our clubs and loyalty programs, and our mobile applications; any rewards and redemption details applicable to your membership of our loyalty programs; and whether you have a connection with others whose personal information we may collect or hold, for example family members who may be linked to your loyalty program membership; what, how and when you buy from us or have expressed an interest in buying from us; your stated or likely preferences, for example whether you may be interested in particular products or promotions. Some of our products and services require us to collect health information from you, for example our optical or insurance services. We also collect health information from you for the purpose of determining any public liability issues involving you. This information is only used to provide you with those services or to manage such issues. Depending on the nature of your dealings with us, we may collect and hold other types of personal information. For example, information collected and held via our secure financial systems about the debit or credit card you might use for your purchases from us. You generally have the option of not identifying yourself or of using a pseudonym when dealing with us. But not where this is impractical (for example when you shop online with us) or where the law or a court order provides otherwise.
3. Personal information: How do we collect it?
When we collect personal information about you, we do so by making a record of it. We do this when: you register with us, for example to create an account, to become a member of one of our clubs or loyalty programs or to send you information; you communicate with us online; you take part in our promotions, competitions, testimonials, surveys and focus groups; you deal with us in other ways involving a need for personal information to be provided such as when you make a lay-by, contact one of our call centres or bring a claim against us. We may also collect personal information about you by accessing data from other sources and then analysing that data together with the information we already hold about you in order to learn more about your likely preferences and interests. When you visit our websites, social media pages or mobile applications or click on our advertisements on the online media of other companies, we may collect information about you using technology which is not apparent to you, for example “cookies”. Most of the personal information we collect and hold about you is from your direct dealings with us. We may sometimes collect your personal information other than from you directly. For example from other suppliers who, in common with us, have a relationship with you. Holding of personal information: Personal information we hold is generally stored in computer systems. These may be operated by us or by our service providers. In all cases, we have rigorous information security requirements aimed at eliminating risks of unauthorised access to, and loss, misuse or wrongful alteration of, personal information.
4. Personal information: how do you complain about our management of it?
If you wish to complain about a breach of the privacy rules that bind us, you may contact our Privacy Officer at one of the above contact below. We may ask you to put your complaint in writing and to provide details about it. We may discuss your complaint with our personnel and our service providers and others as appropriate. Our Privacy Officer will investigate the matter and attempt to resolve it in a timely way. Our Privacy Officer will inform you in writing about the outcome of the investigation. If our Privacy Officer does not resolve your complaint to your satisfaction and no other complaint resolution procedures are agreed or required by law, our Privacy Officer will inform you that your complaint may be referred to the Privacy Commissioner for further investigation and will provide you with the Commissioner’s contact details.
5. Personal information: How do you access & correct it, should it be wrong?
Access: We will provide you with access to any of your personal information we hold (except in limited circumstances recognised by law). If you wish to access your personal information or have an enquiry about privacy, please contact our support at: accounts@liquidmix.com.au or by calling us on (08) 9434 8555. Alternatively, you can write to us at: Privacy Officer Liquid Mix, PO BOX 1222 Canning Vale DC, WA 6155. Before we provide you with access to your personal information we may require some proof of identity. We may charge a reasonable fee for giving access to your personal information if your request requires substantial effort on our part. If you need to correct your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer at one of the above contact points.
6. Personal information: do we share it overseas?
It is our policy to require all of our overseas sharing of personal information to be done in a way which requires observance of strict privacy and security standards, both during transit and at the overseas destination. We may allow your personal information to be shared with those who are in countries other than your own location. We do this where we have made a business decision to store our data with a trusted service provider who is in the business of providing data storage and processing services. Examples are those who store and process our email and mobile application data. These services commonly involve diverse geographic locations which change from time to time for reasons which include data protection and processing efficiency. Where these services are used by us, it is not practical for us to notify you of which country your personal information may be located in; and when our business which collected your personal information is in a different country to your location; where you are involved with public liability issues concerning a product we may disclose your personal information to any overseas supplier of such a product in the course of managing those issues.
7. Can we change or update this policy?
This privacy policy is current at the date below. We may change it periodically. If we propose to change this policy, we will display at least 2 weeks’ prior notice of the change on www.liquidmix.com.au
8. Other privacy terms and limits of this policy
This is a policy. There may be additional privacy notices and terms relevant to you depending on the nature of your dealings with us and on our particular businesses. There are additional privacy terms in our account application, loyalty program and club membership contracts and for use of our online sites, for example. We have separate charters concerning our employees – this policy does not apply to the personal information of our employees in their capacity as such.
9. Require more information?
More information about privacy law and privacy principles is available from the Privacy Commissioner. The Privacy Commissioner may be contacted at www.oaic.gov.au (email – enquiries@oaic.gov.au ) (Australia). Last update of this policy: 1st April 2015
