Scope & Purpose

Airefrig Australia Pty Ltd (“Airefrig”) recognises the importance of protecting the privacy and the rights of individuals in relation to their personal information.

This Privacy Policy tells you how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage the personal information you entrust to us at any of our branches, through our website or through our service providers.

When you purchase our products or provide us with your personal information by other means, you are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as outlined in this document. This Privacy Policy also outlines how you can contact us to access, correct or delete your personal information from our records or make a complaint.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

When used in this privacy policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning given to it in the Act. In general terms, it is any information that can be used to personally identify you. If the information we collect personally identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information.

  • Type of business
  • Purchasing and warranty history
  • Payment details

We may also collect personal information from third parties including:

  • companies such as credit reporting agencies, law enforcement agencies and other government entities

Depending on the circumstances, we may hold your information in either hardcopy or electronic form, or both.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We collect personal information about you so that we can perform our business activities and functions and to provide the best possible quality of customer service.

If you do not provide us with the personal information described above:

  • we may not be able to provide the requested products or services to you
  • we may not be able to provide you with information about products and services that you may want, including information about discounts, sales, or special promotions

Disclosure of Your Personal Information

We will only use or disclose your personal information for a purpose that is related to the uses specified above.

We will only use or disclose that information after having taken reasonable steps to ensure that the information is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant, and not misleading.

Disclosure may be made to organisations that provide us with professional advice, such as solicitors, accountants, and business advisors, and to contractors to whom we out-source certain functions, such as debt collection agencies.

We may also disclose information where it is expressly permitted under the Privacy Acts, for example, where it is with your consent or where we are legally required to do so, for example under a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order.

Examples of organisations that we may disclose your personal information to include:

  • our financing and warranty providers
  • our freight and courier services
  • our external advisers (e.g., auditors & lawyers)
  • professional or government organisations
  • government bodies such as ATO, ASIC, Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority and the police or courts.

We require our service providers not to use your personal information for any purpose other than to provide this assistance. We also require our service providers to protect personal information disclosed by Airefrig and to comply with the privacy principles described in this Privacy Policy.

Direct Marketing

With your consent we may send you direct marketing communications and information about our products and services that we consider may be of interest to you.

Where you have consented to Airefrig directly marketing to you about goods and services you are entitled to withdraw that consent at any time. You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting us (see the details below) or by using opt-out facilities provided in the marketing communications and we will then ensure that your name is removed from our mailing list.

Your Right of Access to Your Personal Information

You have the right to request access to any personal information that Airefrig hold about you at any time by providing a written request either via mail to PO Box 15, Bayswater WA 6933 or by sending an email to admin@airefrig.com.au.

Airefrig may require you to provide some form of identification to verify that you are the person to whom the requested information relates. Once your identity has been verified, Airefrig will respond to your request to access your personal information within a reasonable timeframe. Where Airefrig hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you).

There may be instances where Airefrig cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. If Airefrig refuses to provide you with access to the information requested, we will tell you in writing the reasons why and provide you details about how you can complain about the refusal should you wish to.

Airefrig may refuse your request where it:

  • would result in a breach of confidentiality
  • will have an unreasonable impact upon the privacy of others
  • relates to legal proceedings
  • would reveal Airefrig’s intentions or prejudice any negotiations
  • is required by law to withhold the information or where it would reveal information relating to our commercially sensitive decision-making processes.

Correcting or Updating Your Personal Information

Airefrig takes reasonable steps to ensure that records of your personal information are accurate and up to date by updating its records whenever changes to information come to its attention. If you believe that your personal information held by Airefrig is incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate you may request Airefrig amend it. You can do this using the contact details provided below.

If Airefrig does not agree there are grounds for amendment and refuses to correct your personal information, you are entitled to provide us with a statement of the correction to the information we hold and to request that we attach the statement to the information that we hold. Airefrig will take reasonable steps to make the statement visible to users of your personal information.

Security and Retention

Airefrig makes all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that personal information collected from you is protected against loss and unauthorised access. This protection applies in relation to information stored in both electronic and hard copy form.

Access to your personal information is restricted to those employees or representatives of Airefrig who have a legitimate need to use such information in delivering the products and services you have requested from Airefrig. In addition, Airefrig employs generally accepted information security techniques, such as firewalls and access control procedures, to protect personal information against loss and unauthorised access.

Airefrig cannot guarantee that personal information will be protected against unauthorised access or misuse, and we do not accept any liability for the improper actions of unauthorised third parties.

We will retain your personal information, only for as long as the information is needed for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy and for any additional period that may be required or permitted by law.

Existing Consent

Airefrig collects your personal information from you in varying ways, to enable us to provide you with the services you have requested. While providing such information is voluntary, without the information our ability to provide the service you have requested may be limited. Typically, we will not specifically seek your consent to use or disclose your personal information, where such use or disclosure is within the terms of this policy.

You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If you wish to withdraw your consent at any time, this must be done in writing by emailing us at admin@airefrig.com.au. Should you choose to withdraw consent for Airefrig to access, use or disclose your personal information, you may be limiting or even preventing our ability to provide you with the service or product you desire.

Airefrig does not collect sensitive information without the individual’s consent and unless it is specifically relevant and necessary for Airefrig’s primary purposes. All sensitive information is collected and used in accordance with this privacy policy.

Unsolicited Information
