Privacy Policy

Ezybandz Proprietary Limited (ACN 631 428 496) and its Related Bodies Corporate (as defined by the provisions of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) (Ezybandz) are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals and their personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act).

The Privacy Act governs the way private sector organisations collect, use, keep secure and disclose personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected by us. In this Privacy Policy, the expressions “Ezybandz”, “we”, “us” and “our” are a reference to Ezybandz Limited and its Related Bodies Corporate.

How to Contact Us Regarding This Policy

If you have any concerns or complaints about the manner in which your personal information has been collected, used or disclosed by us, we have put in place an effective mechanism and procedure for you to contact us so that we can attempt to resolve the issue or complaint.

We can be e-mailed at info@ezybandz.com or write to us at 55 Salvado Road, Subiaco, WA 6008 and our General Counsel will then attempt to resolve the issue.

We recommend that you keep this information for future reference.

1. Key Concepts

  1. WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
    The Privacy Act defines “personal information” to mean information or an opinion, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an identified individual or an individual whose identity is reasonably identifiable, from the information or opinion.
  2. WHAT IS SENSITIVE INFORMATION?
    Sensitive information is a subset of personal information. In general, we attempt to limit the collection of sensitive information.We may collect certain types of sensitive information depending on the context and where you have consented to the collection of such information. Generally, we will obtain this type of consent from you at (or around) when we collect the information, but the main type of sensitive information that we may collect (if any) will usually relate to:

    • the criminal record of an individual; and
    • the health or medical information about an individual.This will primarily occur when we seek (or consider) to engage an individual as an employee, contractor or a customer, or otherwise where you volunteer such information or if it is necessary for purposes of collection set out in paragraph 3.
  3. WHAT IS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND HOW IS IT TREATED DIFFERENTLY?
    • Confidential information is a separate concept to “personal information” and “sensitive information”. Personal information and sensitive information are regulated by the Privacy Act whereas confidential information is regulated by general law and contract.
    • It is important that you understand that Ezybandz treats confidential information differently to the way it treats non-confidential personal information and sensitive information under this policy
    • If Ezybandz has access to, or collects, any information or data which is confidential, then Ezybandz will take all possible measures to ensure that information remains confidential and is not disclosed to anyone else unless we have your permission to do so. Generally speaking, any permitted uses or disclosures associated with confidential information and data will be set out in the relevant contract Ezybandz has with you.
    • In particular, Ezybandz will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any confidential data (including image data) uploaded to, or collected by, software applications licensed to you by Ezybandz:
      • will not be disclosed to Ezybandz personnel outside of the responsible Ezybandz business unit; and
      • will be disclosed only to Ezybandz personnel bound by confidentiality obligations and who have a “need to know”, in connection with the provision of services to you.
    • The rest of this policy concerns only “personal information” and “sensitive information”. Please review the terms of your contract(s) with Ezybandz for more information on how Ezybandz treats your confidential information.

2. Collection of Your Personal Information

  1. We only collect personal information that is necessary for what we do and we hold the personal information we collect within our own data storage devices or with a third party provider of data storage. The type of information we may collect from you depends ultimately upon the purpose of collection and we set out the general purposes of collection at paragraph 3 below.
  2. The general categories and types of information we may collect includes employee and contractor information, customer information, supplier information and shareholder information, including but not limited to the following:
    • your contact information such as full name (first and last), e-mail address, current postal address, delivery address (if different to postal address) and phone numbers;
    • information verifying your identity and contact information, such as your date of birth and proof of your date of birth (including, but not limited to, driver’s licence, passport, birth certificate);
    • details relating to your engagement (if applicable) or your previous engagement, including, without limitation, any additional information you may provide us if you have applied for employment with Ezybandz or if you are engaged as a contractor by Ezybandz;
    • if you are supplier to us or a customer requesting products or services from us, then any relevant credit information as well as contact, supply, payment or billing information (including but not limited to bank account details, direct debit, credit card details, billing address, repayment information and invoice details), the details of which are set out in our Credit Reporting Policy;
    • details relating to the shareholding and transfer(s) of shareholding that are necessary for the efficient trading, management and administration of Ezybandz shareholdings;

    • any usernames and passwords if you are using any of our services; and
    • any personal information linked, or related to, any services provided, or the data collected in connection with the provision of such services.
  3. As much as possible or unless provided otherwise under this Privacy Policy, we will collect your information directly from you. If we collect details about you from someone else, we will, whenever reasonably possible, make you aware that we have done this and why.
  4. Depending upon the reason for requiring the information, some of the information we ask you to provide may be identified as mandatory or voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information, we may be unable to effectively provide our services to you.

    • when it is disclosed or used for a purpose related to the primary purposes of collection detailed above and you would reasonably expect your personal information to be used or disclosed for such a purpose;
    • if we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious or imminent threat to an individual’s life, health or safety or to lessen or prevent a threat to public health or safety;
    • if we have reason to suspect that unlawful activity has been, or is being, engaged in; or
    • if it is required or authorised by law.

The following paragraphs 7.1 to 7.4 do not apply to employee information. Employee information will only ever be disclosed or transferred outside of Australia, if required by law or with the employee’s approval.

  1. Any personal information provided to Ezybandz may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside Australia, where we utilise overseas data and website hosting facilities or have entered into contractual arrangements with third party service providers to assist Ezybandz with providing our goods and services to you. Personal information may also be processed by staff or by other third parties operating outside Australia who work for us or for one of our suppliers, agents, partners or related companies, on a need-to-know basis.
  2. By submitting your personal information to Ezybandz, you expressly agree and consent to the disclosure, transfer, storing or processing of your personal information outside of Australia. In providing this consent, you understand and acknowledge that countries outside Australia do not always have the same privacy protection obligations as Australia in relation to personal information. However, we will take steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties securely and in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
  3. The Privacy Act 1988 requires us to take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that any recipients of your personal information outside of Australia do not breach the privacy principles contained within the Privacy Act 1988. By providing your consent, under the Privacy Act 1988, we are not required to take such steps as may be reasonable in the circumstances. However, despite this, we acknowledge the importance of protecting personal information and, as set out above, have taken reasonable steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties securely and in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
  4. If you do not agree to the transfer of your personal information outside Australia, please contact us via the details set out at the top of this document.

8. Data Quality and Security

  1. We have taken steps to help ensure your personal information is safe. You will appreciate, however, that we cannot guarantee the security of all transmissions of personal information, especially where the Internet is involved.

    • make sure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up to date;
    • protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure both physically and through computer security methods; and
    • destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed for its purpose of collection.
  3. However, the accuracy of personal information depends largely on the information you provide to us, so we recommend that you:
    • let us know if there are any errors in your personal information; and
    • keep us up-to-date with changes to your personal information (such as your name or address).

9. Access to and Correction of Your Personal Information

    We have put in place an effective mechanism and procedure to resolve privacy complaints.

12. Consent, Modifications And Updates

  1. INTERACTION OF THIS POLICY WITH CONTRACTS

    • certain sections or paragraphs in this policy are incorporated into that contract, but in such a way that they do not give rise to contractual obligations onto Ezybandz, but do create contractual obligations on the other party to the contract; and
    • the consents provided in this policy become contractual terms provided by the other party to the contract.

    By using our website or by accepting the terms of one of our terms and conditions which refer to this Privacy Policy, you are acknowledging and agreeing:
