Hire My Trailer (Australia) Pty. Ltd. ABN 21 615 445 166 and its related bodies corporate (collectively referred to as "HMT", "us", "we" and "our") is subject to the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act).
HMT has adopted this Privacy Policy to ensure that it deals responsibly with personal information about individuals. This policy may be amended, or modified, from time to time.
The principles set out in this HMT Privacy Disclosure Statement will apply to any personal information you provide to HMT and to information which we collect about you from other sources.
This Statement does not apply to acts and practices of a HMT entity which relates directly to the employee records of that HMT entity's current and former employees.
We collect personal information in the course of our business dealings with you. Generally, and as appropriate, we will tell you why we are collecting personal information, when we collect it and how we plan to use it; or these things will be obvious when we collect the information.
We usually collect personal information such as name, email and street address, and telephone number. As a general rule we do not collect sensitive information (as defined in the Privacy Act). However, if we do, it will usually be for the purposes of facilitating our business dealings with you and, if the law requires us to, we will seek your consent to collect it.
We will use and disclose personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected. We may also use and disclose personal information for purposes related or ancillary to the main reasons we collect it; such as invoicing, reminder notices and the provision of information concerning products.
We also use your information to provide and market our services and to enhance and develop our relationship with you. We may share your information with other members of the HMT Group.
HMT may disclose your information to service providers, agents, contractors and strategic partners from time to time to help us to provide and market our products and services to you. If we do this we generally require these parties to protect your information the same way we do.
Personal information is usually used or disclosed only after obtaining your consent. Your consent can be express or implied. You imply consent when we can reasonably conclude that you have given consent by some action you take (ie registering on the website), or when you decide not to take action.
The circumstances where we may use or disclose personal information without your consent are very limited. We may disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; or to address fraud, security or technical issues. Such information will be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
We may transfer information that we collect about you, including personal information to countries outside Australia. Whenever we transfer personal information, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Disclosure and will comply with requirements of the Privacy Act that relate to trans-border data flows.
If you provide personal information to us about someone else (for example, one of your directors or someone with whom you are dealing) you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that information to us and ensure that a copy of this policy has been provided to the relevant person. So that, without further enquiry by us, we may collect, use and disclose such information for the purposes described above.
