What we collect
We collect information directly from you where you provide us with your personal details, for example when you purchase products or services from us or when you submit enquiries to us or contact us. Where possible, we will inform you what information you are required to provide to us by law (mandatory) and what information is optional (voluntary). With your consent, we may also supplement the personal information you provide to us with information we receive from other companies and service providers, as well as any personal information you deliberately make public.
The type of information we collect will depend on the purpose for which it is collected and used. We will only collect information we need for that purpose.
In this Privacy Notice, personal information refers to the type of personal information that may be collected and used, including, but not limited to:
Sensitive personal information
If collecting or storing sensitive personal information, such as information relating to health, biometric information or credit checks for certain job roles, we will ask for your explicit consent. However, there are some limited situations where this will not occur if this information is required by law or regulatory body.
Children’s personal information
In order to fulfill our HR administration role, we may, with the consent of the employee, collect personal information relating to an employee’s child and other family members in order to comply with law and regulations as set out by various governmental bodies.
How we use your information
We will use your personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected or agreed with you, for example:

Disclosure Information
We do not sell or trade your personal information but may disclose it to third parties and service providers who are involved in the delivery of our products or services to you. We have agreements in place to ensure they comply with these privacy terms. Personal information will only be shared with third parties if and to the extent it is necessary for them to provide our products or services to you.
We may also disclose your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or industry codes, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Non-personally identifiable information may be provided to other parties for research and statistical purposes.
Information security
We are legally obliged to provide adequate protection for the personal information we hold and to stop unauthorised access and use of personal information. We will, on an ongoing basis, continue to review our security controls and related processes to ensure your personal information is secure.
We use a variety of physical and technical measures to keep personal information safe and prevent unauthorised access to or use or disclosure of it. Electronic data and databases are stored on secure computer systems with control over access to information using both physical and electronic means. Our staff receive data protection training and there is a set of detailed security and data protection policies which staff are required to follow when handling personal information.
While we take all reasonable steps to ensure personal information will be kept secure from unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee it will be secure during transmission by you to a website or other services, as we do not control that transmission.
When we contract with third parties, we impose appropriate security, privacy and confidentiality obligations on them to ensure that personal information we remain responsible for is kept secure.
We may need to transfer your personal information to another country for processing or storage. We put in place appropriate protection to ensure your personal information remains adequately protected and is treated in line with this Privacy Notice and applicable global data protection laws.

We may continue to retain it after we have ceased such uses for certain legitimate business purposes. We may also continue to retain your personal information to meet our legal requirements or to defend or exercise our legal rights.
The length of time for which we will retain your personal information will depend on the purposes for which we need to retain it. After we no longer need to retain your personal information, it will be deleted or securely destroyed.
