How we collect and hold your personal information?
When collecting personal information we will do so only by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonable intrusive way. Where it is reasonable and practicable to do so, we will only collect personal information about you from you directly and not from third parties. However, in some instances, this will not be practicable. If we collect personal information about you from a third party then we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you receive the information that we are obliged to make you aware of. This may involve us contacting you directly, or a third party discharging our obligations on our behalf.
When collecting personal information about you which, for the purposes of the relevant privacy laws is regarded as sensitive information or health information, we will collect that information from you or from third parties only with your consent.
How do we share your personal information?
We will not sell, rent, lease, or provide your personal information to third parties except as described below.
Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU may share your personal information with third party service providers or agents to perform certain processing activities on behalf of Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU. Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU requires these service providers to protect your personal information diligently.
Where necessary to fulfil the purposes set out above, we may contract out various services associated with our business functions and activities. This may involve the disclosure of your personal information to other persons and organisations such as those listed below, both within Australia and overseas including countries such as New Zealand. While every effort is made to ensure data security and appropriate privacy practices are maintained by our service providers, by providing your personal information to Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU you acknowledge and consent that Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU is unable to guarantee that third party recipient entities do not breach your rights under Australian law, including applicable Privacy Principles in relation to the information. For clarity, Australian Privacy Principle 8.1 will not apply to your disclosure of personal information on our Website or via any other means and Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU will not be accountable to you in relation to the privacy practices of overseas providers and you will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act for any breach by the overseas providers of your personal information. Overseas providers are subject to laws of their country and provisions of their own privacy policy (if any) and Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU does not guarantee or make any warranty as to the adequacy of those laws or privacy policies.
Subject to the above, where we disclose your personal information to other parties we will endeavour to ensure that your personal information is handled in a manner consistent with our obligations under this Privacy Policy. Where appropriate, we will ensure that your personal information is de-identified before being used or disclosed or destroyed or de-identified if it is no longer necessary that it be retained.
The types of persons and organisations to which we may disclose your personal information include the following:
• organisations with whom we have arrangements or agreements for the purpose of promoting our products or services and any agents used by us in administering such arrangements or agreements;
• our agents, contractors and external advisers who carry on our functions and activities or who assist us to carry on our functions and activities from time to time;
• organisations who are contracted by us to perform certain services, including to maintain the Website and the personal information collected, provide cloud storage and management services for personal information, deliver products ordered on the Website, handle complaint and queries or facilitate any other service offered on the Website;
• our legal advisors, when needed; and
• other parties to whom we are authorised or required by law to disclose information.
Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU does not share your personal information with any other company for that company's direct marketing services. For clarity, we may share your personal information with our service providers who may use the personal information for direct marketing services on Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU's behalf, however, we will not share your personal information with other companies for the purpose of those companies marketing their own products to you.
Jacobs Douwe Egberts AU sometimes sells (part of) a business to another company. Such transfer of ownership may include the transfer of your personal information to the new owner.
Furthermore, we will release your personal information if so required by law, where necessary for preventing or combating fraud, where necessary for dispute resolution, or for any other pressing legitimate need which under the circumstances must outweigh your privacy interests, such as the security of our business and the safety of our staff.
Consent and sensitive information
We collect only minimal amounts of sensitive information. We will only collect sensitive or health information from you or about you with your consent. By supplying sensitive or health information about yourself in writing you will be taken to have given your consent to our collection of that information. In most instances, when we collect personal information directly from you, we will obtain your consent to use it for our various purposes. When we obtain information from a third party we will usually enlist that third party to obtain consent on our behalf. In some situations, we will be able to collect sensitive information about you without obtaining your consent. Where this occurs, we shall comply with the applicable privacy legislation at all times.
