Protecting Your Privacy
NetReach is committed to protecting your privacy. NetReach data collection and management is bound by the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988, which sets out a number of principles concerning the protection of your personal information. Personal information will only be held by NetReach as required to carry out usual business transactions. The information collected may include your name, address, telephone number, email address, bank account and credit card details. NetReach also holds details of your NetReach account. If you choose not to provide certain personal information, NetReach may not be able to provide you with the services you require. Occasionally, you may need to provide personal information about other individuals to NetReach (e.g. about your authorised representatives). If so, NetReach relies on you to inform those individuals that you are providing their personal information and to advise them that NetReach can be contacted for further information. NetReach collects personal information in the following ways:
- directly from you, when you provide information by phone or in application forms, or when you submit your personal details through NetReach's websites;
- from third parties such as credit reporting agencies or your representatives;
- from publicly available sources of information;
Your personal information may be used to:
- verify your identity;
- offer and provide additional NetReach or related services;
- administer and manage those services, including charging, billing and collecting debts;
- inform you of ways the services provided to you could be improved;
- conduct appropriate checks for credit-worthiness and for fraud;
- maintain and develop NetReach's business systems and infrastructure, including testing and upgrading of these systems.
Also, your personal information is collected so that NetReach can promote and market its services to you, and keep you informed of its products and services. If you do not wish NetReach to promote and market its products, services and special offers to you, please call 1300 887 952. In order to deliver the services you require, NetReach may disclose your personal information to external organisations. Your personal information is disclosed to these organisations only in relation to NetReach providing its services to you. NetReach takes all reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information. In addition, NetReach may disclose your personal information to:
- your authorised representatives or your legal advisers (e.g. when requested by you to do so);
- credit-reporting and fraud-checking agencies;
- credit providers (for credit related purposes such as credit-worthiness, credit rating, credit provision and financing);
- NetReach's professional advisers, including its accountants, auditors and lawyers;
- government and regulatory authorities and other organisations, as required or authorised by law.

NetReach takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that the personal information it collects, uses and discloses is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, the accuracy of that information depends to a large extent on the information you provide. As such, we recommend that you alert NetReach to any errors, ommissions, or changes to your current information. You have a right to access your personal information, subject to some exceptions allowed by law. If you would like to do so, you will need to put your request in writing for security reasons, and send via our contact us page. NetReach reserves the right to charge a fee for searching for and providing access to your information. If you have any questions in relation to privacy, please contact us on 1300 887 952.
