Some information provided to us by clients, customers, contractors and other third parties might be considered personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Such information may be necessary to enable us to carry on our business and provide our services to you. We will only collect such personal information if it is necessary for one of our functions or activities.

The type of personal information we collect varies and it may be your name, address, telephone number, email address, work contacts, photographs, interest, hobbies and any other personal details you wish to provide. We do not try to collect sensitive information, but some people volunteer sensitive information anyway. Examples, of how we collect personal information include without limitation the following:

a) from information provided in any application forms;

b) material submitted in competitions;

c) through telephone calls;

d) letters and other material sent by us;
 

e) visiting our Website;

f) from feedback, comments or suggestions;

g) as a customer or client or supplier of Efficient Farming;

h) when you provide a service or products to us; or

i) when you submit your e-mail address to our web site mailing list.

You acknowledge that when you submit personal information and other substantive information on the Website, that information, may be collected and collated and used and disclosed by Efficient Farming and may result in marketing and promotional messages being sent to you from Efficient Farming or its associates and affiliates.

There may be times when you do not wish to provide personal information, which may mean, for example, that we cannot enter your details for a competition or provide you with a particular service that you want. Please inform us when personal information you have supplied to us needs to be updated or is no longer valid.

Use of information collected
We may use or disclose personal information for the primary purpose for which it is collected. Examples include, providing services to you, notification to you about changes to our services, product surveys or promotional mail to inform you of other products or services. More generally, we may also use such information for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and where it would reasonably be expected by you that we would use the information in such a way. This information is only disclosed to persons outside our business in the circumstances set out in this policy or as otherwise notified to you at the time of collection of the information. We may retain the information you provide to us including your contact and credit card details to enable us to verify transactions and customer details and to retain adequate records for legal and accounting purposes.

If we have contracted out a service to a third party, we may be required to disclose the personal information to the third party to ensure you get the service needed. Due to the nature of our business, we obtain information, products and services from third parties, which we may supply directly to you or which you may individually obtain from the third party via our Website. In such circumstances, it may also be necessary to disclose the information to a third party to enable provision of a product or service to you. We may also be required by law to disclose the information, or we may disclose such information if we suspect a breach of the law.

We may transfer personal information we have collected about you to someone other than you in a foreign country only if such transfer is permitted by the National Privacy Principles.
