At Advanced Air Conditioning Pty Ltd your privacy has always been important to us. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principle (APP’s) Act 2012.

THIS POLICY AND OTHER PRIVACY STATEMENTS

This privacy policy explains how we collect personal information and how we maintain, use and disclose that information. It also provides some detail about your privacy rights along with our general rights and obligations and our policy in relation to the personal information we keep on record. When you apply for a new product or service, notices are generally given about privacy and requests for consent. Those privacy notices (called privacy statements) specify in more detail how any information about you may be used and disclosed in relation to the particular product or service. When you apply for or use one of our products or services, you consent to us collecting, maintaining, using and disclosing personal information about you and provided by you or by another person in accordance with the privacy statement in the application form and this policy.

• If you apply for insurance, information about what is being insured (including health information about you, your income and occupation if you are requesting GAP Insurance).

All information sought is required for our business purposes, which are detailed generally in this privacy policy and more specifically in our application forms or on the web pages which allow you to contact us. We do not actively seek to collect sensitive information (for example health information or information about your racial or ethnic origin or any criminal record), unless it is necessary for our business purposes. If we do have to collect sensitive information, we will do so in accordance with the National Privacy Principles.
