| ELine is committed to complying
with the Privacy Act 1988 in relation to all personal information
we collect. Our Privacy Policy outlines the rules we will abide
by when dealing with personal information we collect from individuals
in the course of our business.
Collection of Information
ELine always collects personal information in a fair
and lawful manner. Where reasonable and practicable, we will collect
personal information directly from the person and inform the person
that this is being done.
ELine collects personal information in a variety of ways in the
course of conducting our business, including:
- Providing goods and services to our customers
- Interacting with people through our website
- Responding to inquiries
- Resellers and affiliates
- Third party suppliers or public sources
- Where legally required to do so
In addition, personal information may be stored on a website
of another organisation hosted on a ELine server. This information
will not be used or released by us unless we are required to release
it by law. If you collect personal information which is then stored
on a ELine server as part of our service to you then you are solely
responsible, in respect of that information, for compliance with
the Privacy Act.
Collection of Non Personal Information
We monitor our website for statistical purposes to identify the
number of visitors to our site and the pages they visit. The only
information gathered is an IP address and is used for internal
statistical purposes only.
Use of Personal Information
The use to which we can put personal information depends on the
reason for which it was collected. We may use personal information
for the primary purpose of its collection or for any related secondary
purpose that we could reasonably be expected to use the personal
information for.
From time to time, we may use your personal information for promotional
or direct marketing purposes. However, at any time a person may
request ELine not to use their personal information for sending
direct marketing material to them. Such a request can be made
by contacting ELine either in writing, by email, fax or telephone
at the contact details below.
Disclosure of Personal Information
At ELine we take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal
information is kept strictly confidential. We do not sell, rent
or lease your personal information to third parties. We will supply
your personal details to a third party partner where it is a necessary
process for fulfilling a service you have requested.
Where necessary, we may disclose to, and collect personal details
from credit or fraud agencies, or debt recovery agencies for verification
purposes, or for debt reporting or collection purposes.
We may also disclose personal information about you, without
notice or your consent, if:
- We are required to do so by law
- If it is necessary to protect or enforce ELine's legal rights
or interests to defend any claims
- If it is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious threat
to a persons' health or safety
- If we sell our business or part of it
- If it is necessary in order to enforce or apply the terms
of any of our agreements with you
Information Security
ELine takes reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information
held by us is secure from any unauthorised access or disclosure.
However, ELine does not guarantee that personal information cannot
be accessed by an unauthorised person (eg a hacker) or that unauthorised
disclosures will not occur.
Correcting Personal Information
ELine takes reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy and completeness
of the personal information we hold. However we rely on you to
advise us in writing of any changes to your details.
Accessing Personal Information
You can request access to personal information about you held
by ELine. This request must be made in writing to the address
below.
We may charge a fee for reasonable costs incurred in responding
to this request which we will disclose to you prior to it being
charged.
Removing Personal Information
You may request in writing the removal of certain personal
information from our records. We will comply with this request
unless the information is necessary for tax purposes or used to
identify you for contractual purposes.
