Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY - UPDATED NOVEMBER 2019
 
OVERVIEW
GGJC Pty Ltd operates Send and Shred and MyCard Protector. We take privacy very seriously. We only collect and use the information we need to provide our products and services. We do not collect or store any credit card information. Credit card details are entered directly by the customer into the secure gateway for payment.
Read on for details of what personal information we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it. We will update this policy from time to time and publish updates on our websites.
 
WHY DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We collect personal information so that we can:
- market and sell our products and services;
- improve existing products and services and develop new ones;
- run our websites and process online orders; and
- provide information and support to our customers.
 
We aim to only collect the personal information that we need. Wherever possible, we de-identify or destroy personal information. 
 
WHAT TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
The personal information we collect varies but may include name and address, email address, landline and mobile telephone number.
We collect additional personal information from customers that choose to complete a customer survey. This varies but may include age bracket, income bracket, employment status, industry and workplace details.
 
We maintain opt-in email lists. If customers opt-in by subscribing, we collect their email address and contact details. We use this information to send out the updates the customer has subscribed to and to administer the lists. We maintain these securely on a server located in Australia in accordance with the Spam Act 2003. Customers may opt-out from a subscription list at any time.
 
When we collect marketing information other than our email subscription lists, we make best efforts to de-identify it. For instance, we remove names and addresses and store marketing data in general categories (such as by age bracket or postcode).
 
We do not collect any credit card information. When customers make an order on our websites, they provide their information directly to Shopify's standard PCI DSS compliant secure gateway. The information is not processed or accessed by our website and we do not collect it at any point.
 
HOW DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

The main way we collect personal information is when customers give it to us. This happens when customers:
- order a product or service from us on our websites;
- complete a customer survey from our websites;
- opt in to receive email updates about products, services and related activities; and
- contact us via email, telephone or letter to ask a question, provide feedback or make a complaint.

Our websites allow customers to order our products and services, make comments and complaints and give us feedback.

The information collected may include the IP address of the customer's device, information about sites that IP address has come from, the pages accessed on our site and other sites visited.

Customers may be able to opt out of the collection of some of this information, such as by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

A cookie is a small text file stored on a computer browser.

The sites have their own privacy policies on their websites. Customers can contact them directly with any queries or complaints.  

WHO COLLECTS PERSONAL INFORMATION UNDER CONTRACT TO US?
We deliver customer orders via Australia Post's regular letter delivery service. We use other service providers from time to time. Wherever possible, we do not allow service providers to access customers' personal information.

If we must give a service provider access to personal information, we take reasonable steps to safeguard customer privacy. We require any contractors to handle personal information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles and we prohibit disclosure to third parties unless required by law.

We securely store personal information on our servers. We protect this personal information from internal and external threats with procedures limiting access, regular security audits and standard cyber security measures.
 
CONSENT TO CONTACT A CUSTOMER ABOUT AN ORDER
Our orders process requires customers to provide their contact details. This is so that we can contact them about their order if necessary. By giving us these contact details, the customer consents to us contacting them about their order and agrees that their consent remains in place until they tell us otherwise.
 
DISCLOSURE TO OVERSEAS RECIPIENTS
We only disclose personal information to overseas recipients if we need to in order to deliver our services or comply with our legal obligations.
  
Web traffic information is disclosed to Google Analytics when you visit our website. Google stores information across multiple countries. For further information, see Google's privacy policy, Google Data Centres and Google Locations.


When customers communicate with us through a social network service such as Facebook or Twitter, the social network provider and its partners may collect and hold your personal information overseas. For further information, see the privacy policies for these sites. 

ANONYMITY AND PSEUDONYMITY
For our functions and activities, we need each customer's name, contact details and enough information about the matter to enable us to handle the order, inquiry, request or complaint. It is not usually practicable for us to deal with customers anonymously or via a pseudonym. For this reason, we will ask customers for their name and accurate contact details in any exchange.

 
Customers may lodge a complaint or feedback anonymously or via a pseudonym using the contact details on our website. However, without accurate contact details, we may not be able to follow through and resolve the matter.
  

SPECIAL SEND AND SHRED CONDITIONS
Send and Shred is our secure destruction and recycling service for paperwork. Customers purchase an empty package online, fill it with confidential paperwork and lodge it in any post office. We have the contents securely shredded and recycled.

We contract out primary services for Send and Shred:

  • Australia Post, who process, transport and track packages once lodged; and
  • Capital Destruction Services, who securely shred and recycle packages and their contents.

Australia Post and Capital Destruction Services are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles and have their own privacy policies on their websites. Customers can contact them directly with any queries or complaints.

We protect the personal information sealed inside packages. Packages are securely transported by Australia Post. All reasonable steps are taken to keep packages secure, sealed and tracked during transport and handling.

Australia Post transports packages to Locked Bags in the secure staff-only area of post offices. There they are collected by our secure destruction company, Capital Destruction Services, and taken to Capital Destruction Services shredding facility. That facility maintains security with locks, alarms, CCTV monitoring, Australian Federal Police clearances and security vetting for staff, staff training and restricted access procedures. Bags and their contents are shredded so that all information is completely destroyed. After complete shredding, paper is baled and recycled.

We take all reasonable steps to protect the documents sealed inside packages. However, in certain circumstances, we or our contractors may come in contact with these. For instance, a package that is not properly sealed may leak documents, and a package that is suspected to contain a prohibited substance will need to be opened and inspected for safety reasons. In such cases, we and our contractors take all reasonable steps to ensure documents are kept secure and are destroyed as soon as possible.

ACCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION
Customers can access their personal information by contacting the Director (see below). We will ask the customer questions to verify that the personal information is theirs. We will then take reasonable steps to provide access to information and update or correct it as requested.

HOW TO CONTACT US OR MAKE A COMPLAINT?
Customers may contact us any time with a query, feedback or complaint. General contact details appear on our websites.
