Last update: 30 October 2018 Brand Ideology, ABN: 91 612 688 230 This Privacy Policy sets out our commitment to protecting the privacy of your personal information that we collect through this website brandideology.com.au (Site) or directly from you.
When handling personal information we will comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and other applicable legislation (such as Australian State and Territory health privacy legislation, as well as the Spam Act 2003(Cth) and the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 (Cth)). The APPs are legally binding principles that are designed to ensure that individuals’ personal information is protected throughout the information lifecycle – that is, from the time the information is collected through to its destruction. The APPs also give individuals the right to access their personal information and have it corrected if it is incorrect.‘Personal information’ means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. Brand Ideology’s Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected and/or held by Brand Ideology. This Privacy Policy also explains how we process ‘personal data’ about people in the European Union (EU), as required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).We revise this policy as applicable regulations change. Please visit this page regularly.
We generally collect two types of information—personally identifiable information (“PII”) and non-personally identifiable information (“Non-PII”). PII is any information that can be used to specifically identify you as an individual. For example, you may submit your email and we may collect your name, email address, address, phone number, or similar information through the Site. Non-PII consists of information that does not specifically identify you. The following sections describe how we collect and use your PII and Non-PII.
When you visit our Site, some information will be collected automatically using cookies and beacons. The data we collect automatically through cookies is Non-PII while some of the information we collect through beacons is PII. We do automatically collect information of users when they submit their personal information to us. For example if a user submits their email through a contact form or live messenger we will collect further personal information through third part tools, such as Google, Facebook, Hubspot and LinkedIn. Further information on how we collect your personal information is described in the next section.How we collect your personal information
