At Eureka Forklifts we understand the importance of protecting your right to privacy and have therefore prepared this policy to help you understand how we aim to protect the privacy of your personal information. The Privacy Act from 21 December 2001 includes laws that regulate the way private organisations handle ‘personal information’.

The Act contains 10 National Privacy Principles that regulate, among other things, how organisations collect, store and protect the quality of personal information. The principles also outline how these organisations should use and share personal information with other organisations. The National Privacy Principles form part of all our procedures and policies and the way we manage our customer and employee information. You can request more information about the way Eureka Forklifts manage your personal information by contacting us.

Use and Disclosure

We will only collect and use your personal information for the main purpose of our business with you. Methods used to collect your personal information will only be by lawful and fair means, without being unreasonably intrusive. Where reasonable and practicable, we will only collect personal information directly from you.

Access & Correction

Under the National Privacy Principles, you have a right to know what information Eureka Forklifts holds about you, and you are entitled to see this information to ensure it is correct. If you ask, we will tell you what personal information we hold about you and what we do with it. In most cases, unless an exception applies, we will facilitate access to you in the most appropriate way following receipt of your request. We aim to make sure the personal information we collect is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you believe your personal information is not accurate, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to correct it.

What we collect

In the course of our daily operation, Eureka Forklifts routinely collects personal information provided in person or, where applicable over the telephone, or through electronic media. The type of ‘personal information’ collected can include your:

• name
• contact information including email address
• demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests

What we do with the information we gather

The personal information collected about you is used to establish and maintain records that might correspond with your needs. If you choose not to provide the personal information requested, it may mean that Eureka Forklifts will not be able to properly service your requirements. We may also use the personal information collected for the purpose of letting you know about products or services that might better serve your current or future requirements. Specifically, we use your information for:

• Internal record keeping.
• We may use the information to improve our products and services.
• We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.

Security

Eureka Forklifts stores information in different ways, including in paper and electronic form. The security of your personal information is important to us and we take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We regularly destroy personal information we no longer need. Specifically, personal information held for marketing and product servicing purposes is stored in a secure mainframe environment and protected from unauthorised external and internal access by a series of advanced firewalls and password security measures. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Records are kept for 10 years and then incinerated.
