Our Privacy Policy – Collection of your Personal Information

BETTA BILT BUCKETS is committed to the protection of your Personal Information. Personal information is any information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. We may collect types of Personal Information from you throughout our relationship and we will advise you of this (and other matters about the collection of Personal Information) before, at or as soon as possible after the time of collection.

Generally, the kinds of information BETTA BILT BUCKETS will collect about an individual may include an individual’s name, signature, residential address, telephone number, date of birth, gender, details of your financial circumstances (including bank account details or credit card information), government identifiers such as tax file numbers, employment details and employment history, insurance policy information, and commentary or opinion about a person, for example credit commentary, eligibility or information received from CreditorWatch, Equifax or Illion.

The specific types of Personal Information that we collect from you and how we collect that information will depend on the services you require from us and how you interact with us. BETTA BILT BUCKETS usually collects Personal Information directly from the individual concerned. Where this is not practical, BETTA BILT BUCKETS will take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is informed about the collection unless the individual has previously consented to the collection (either expressly or impliedly). In some cases, BETTA BILT BUCKETS may collect information from a third party, such as an insurance company, recruitment agency, wholesale and retail suppliers or via social media.

When you request goods from us we will ask you many details about you and your business. That information assists us in making decisions about our intended relationship with you and the terms of that relationship. You have a right not to provide information that can identify you. However, if all or part of the Personal Information that we request from you is not provided, BETTA BILT BUCKETS may not be able to do certain things (including supply you with goods, consider any application for goods made by you, or process your request for a commercial credit account).

At the time of collecting Personal Information about an individual, or as soon as practicable after that time, BETTA BILT BUCKETS takes reasonable steps to ensure the individual is aware of:

  • (a)The identity and contact details of BETTA BILT BUCKETS and BETTA BILT BUCKETS Privacy Officer;
  • (b)The purposes for which the information is being collected;
  • (c)Any organisations to which BETTA BILT BUCKETS may disclose the information to;
  • (d)The fact that an individual has a right to gain access to the personal information collected; and
  • (e)The main consequences (if any) for the individual if all or part of the information is not provided.

We will not collect any sensitive Personal Information from you revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or political association memberships, religious or philosophical beliefs, professional or trade union membership, or details of health, disability information, genetic or biometric information, or sexual activity or orientation. Exceptions to this include:

  • (a)Where you have given express consent to BETTA BILT BUCKETS to do so and where is it necessary for BETTA BILT BUCKETS to carry out one of its primary functions;
  • (b)Where there are reasonable grounds to believe that disclosure is necessary to prevent a threat to life or health;
  • (c)The use is authorised by law or reasonably necessary to enforce the law; or when the information is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

If we receive Personal Information which we did not solicit, we will determine as quickly as possible whether or not that Personal Information could have been lawfully collected by us in accordance with the Privacy Laws and BETTA BILT BUCKETS’s Privacy Policy. If so, we will only use the unsolicited Personal Information as if that information had been solicited by BETTA BILT BUCKETS (that is, lawfully and fairly in accordance with the Privacy Laws and our Privacy Policy). If not, we will take reasonable steps to de-identify or destroy the information.

When you use BETTA BILT BUCKETS’s website at www.bettabiltbuckets.com.au, our Internet Service Provider (ISP) may make a record of your visit and log your server address, your domain name, the date, time and duration of your visit, the pages and documents you accessed, the previous site you had accessed (i.e. the referring URL) and the type of browser you are using. This information is collected for statistical purposes only, and BETTA BILT BUCKETS will not make any attempt to identify users according to their browsing activity.

In the unlikely event of an investigation, a law enforcement agency or other government agency may exercise its legal authority to inspect our business records or ISP’s logs. It is also possible that your ISP is logging your activity while you visit our site. This is beyond the control of BETTA BILT BUCKETS.

While you are visiting our site, we may use cookies to facilitate a more personalised web browsing experience. Except where you volunteer personal or business information, we will not procure information about you via any alternative means while you visit our website.

In some circumstances, BETTA BILT BUCKETS will provide you with an option of not identifying yourself, or of using a pseudonym, when dealing with us (unless BETTA BILT BUCKETS is required or authorised by Australian law or a Court/Tribunal order to deal with individuals who have identified themselves, or where it is impracticable to do so).
