4.1    When visiting FLENDER’ websites, applications or online tools (each a “FLENDER Online Offering”), FLENDER may collect and process the following personal information about you:

  • Personal information that you actively and voluntarily provide via the FLENDER Online Offering (e.g., when registering, contacting us with your inquiries or participating in surveys, applying for a job, etc.), including name, e-mail address, telephone number, information submitted as part of a support request, comments or forum posts, etc.; and
  • Information that is automatically sent to us by your web browser or device, such as your IP-address, device type, browser type, referring site, sites accessed during your visit, the date and time of each visitor request.

4.2    To protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration and against unauthorized disclosure or access, FLENDER uses technical and organizational security measures.

4.3    FLENDER may store your personal information in hardcopy documents or electronically. In most cases, we use password protected electronic databases maintained at our own sites, or that of a service provider, possibly involving a cloud hosting service. Backups of electronic information may be stored offsite. Hard copy information is generally stored in our offices, which are secured to prevent entry by unauthorized people. Your personal information may be stored indefinitely until you advise you would like it removed or destroyed, however we may de-identify or destroy it earlier as required by law.

4.4    Over time, data is archived and may be stored by a third party secure storage provider. Where personal information is stored with a third party, we have arrangements in place requiring those third parties to comply with privacy laws. We take reasonable steps to protect the privacy and security of that information, but we are not liable for any unauthorized access, disclosure or use.

4.5    We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

  • To provide the FLENDER Online Offering’s services and functions and to administer your use of the FLENDER Online Offering;
  • To verify your identity (if you registered for a FLENDER Online Offering);
  • To answer and fulfill your specific requests;
  • To send you marketing information or to contact you in the context of customer satisfaction surveys as further explained in Section 3; and
  • As reasonably necessary to enforce the applicable terms of use, to establish or preserve a legal claim or defense, to prevent fraud or other illegal activities, including attacks on FLENDER’s information technology systems.

4.6    Generally, the legitimate interest pursued by FLENDER in relation to our use of your personal information is the efficient performance or management of your use of the FLENDER Online Offerings.

4.7    We may use cookies within FLENDER Online Offerings. You can find information on FLENDER’ use of cookies in our Cookie Policy . The Cookie Policy also provides information on how to block and object to the use of cookies and the processing of data collected by cookies.

4.8    In order to offer you certain location-based functions, some FLENDER Online Offerings may use “Google Maps” (e.g. to let you obtain directions to your local FLENDER point of contact). When you use Google Maps, Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google“) will process personal data which may include, inter alia, your device’s IP address and your location. Location data can only be processed if you granted permission to access, or actively provided your location data within the relevant FLENDER Online Offering. The data controller responsible for the processing of your personal data in connection with Google Maps is Google; Google’s privacy notice can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

4.10    Some applications of FLENDER that you can download to your mobile device (“Mobile Apps”) have their own Privacy Notices. These Privacy Notices are made available to you in the respective App Store before you download the Mobile App and within the respective Mobile Application itself. The Privacy Notices for FLENDER’s Mobile Apps are also published here.

4.11    In some cases, you might provide personal information to us by entering it into our cloud based solutions because you want us to host that information for you or your information may be disclosed to us by an organisation with whom you interact and to which we provide a cloud based service.

5. INTEGRITY AND SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

5.1    Our obligation is to ensure that information about you that we collect, use and disclose is secure, accurate, up-to-date and complete. We employ a number of different strategies to protect personal information. These include, depending on the service and the nature of the personal information held in the relevant system:

  • Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems
  • Virus protection systems
  • Encryption technologies
  • Restricted access
  • Security Policies and Staff Training

5.2    We will do our best to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, however data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure because risks do change over time.

For obvious reasons, please do not send credit card information through unsecured electronic mail or share your passwords with anyone else.

For example, if that country has laws that enable you to take action to enforce your rights in a similar way.

6.4    By providing your personal information to us, or to the third party with whom we contract, you consent to the transfer of that information to our third party service providers who are located outside of Australia for that purpose.

  • denying access is required or authorised under Australian law or a court or tribunal order;
  • giving access would reveal information generated by us in connection with a commercially sensitive decision making process; or
  • providing access would be unlawful or would be likely to prejudice an enforcement related activity conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body.

10.5    If we refuse to provide access because of an exception listed above, or to give you information in the manner you requested, we will take reasonable steps to give access in a way that meets our needs and your needs and we will give you written notice setting out the reasons for refusal (unless it is unreasonable to do so) and the mechanisms available to you to complain about the refusal.
