Privacy Statement

This Privacy Policy sets out the approach which Pyrosales Pty Ltd (Pyrosales) will take in relation to the treatment of Personal Information. It includes information on how Pyrosales collects, uses, discloses and keeps secure, individuals’ personal information. It also covers how Pyrosales makes the personal information it holds available for access to, and correction by, the individual.

This policy has been drafted having regard to Pyrosales’ obligations under the Privacy Act.

This policy is a public document and has been prepared in light of National Privacy Principles.

1. Collection Of Information

1.1 Pyrosales will only collect personal information where the information is necessary for Pyrosales to perform one or more of its functions or activities. In this context, ‘collect’ means gather, acquire or obtain by any means, information in circumstances where the individual is identifiable or identified.

1.2 Pyrosales collects Personal Information primarily to supply customers who obtain Pyrosales products and services directly from Pyrosales, with information and details of its products and services. Pyrosales also collects and uses Personal Information for secondary purposes including:

  • provision of products and services
    • accounting purposes
    • business planning and product development
  • marketing products and services

1.3 Pyrosales will notify individuals (including, but not limited to, our customers) of the matters listed below at the time of collecting any Personal Information:

  • the main reason that we are collecting Personal Information (this reason will be the Primary Purpose)
  • other related Uses or Disclosures that we may make of the Personal Information (Secondary Purposes)
  • our identity and how individuals can contact us, if it is not obvious that individuals can access the Personal Information that Pyrosales holds about them
  • that individuals should contact Pyrosales (even if they are not a customer) if they wish to access or correct Personal Information collected by us or have any concerns in relation to Personal Information
  • the organisations or types of organisations to whom we usually Disclose the Personal Information
  • where applicable, any law that requires the Personal Information to be collected the consequences (if any) for the individual if all or part of the Personal Information is not provided to Pyrosales.

1.4 Where it is not practicable for Pyrosales to notify individuals of all of the Collection Information before the collection of Personal Information, Pyrosales will ensure that individuals are notified of the Collection Information as soon as possible after the collection.
