It is kept in secure locations, and access to it is restricted to those who have the appropriate authorization under our policies. Where we share the information with third parties we ensure they also have appropriate policies and security in place. When the information is no longer required, it is de-identified, deleted, or securely destroyed.
How we use your personal information
Your personal and sensitive information may be used in connection with:
We collect and use your personal information for a number of reasons, including:

Sharing of your personal information
We do not share your personal information, except as required to manage our business, deliver our products and services to you, or to comply with legal requirements. This means that we may disclose your personal and sensitive information to:
- Our insurers;
- A Professional Association or Registered Body that has a proper and genuine interest in your personal information;
- Our contractors and suppliers – (inclusive of our IT contactors and website designers);
- Any person with lawful entitlement to obtain the information.
Agpower may disclose personal information (including credit information) to overseas recipients in order to provide their products and/ or services and for administrative or other management purposes. Our business is affiliated with other businesses located overseas, such as vehicle manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers. In the course of doing business with you, we are likely to disclose some of your personal information to overseas recipients. However, we will only do so where:
– it is necessary to complete the transaction you have entered into; and
– you have provided consent; or
– we believe on reasonable grounds that the overseas recipient is required to deal with your personal information by enforceable laws which are similar to the requirements under the APPs; or
– it is otherwise permitted by law.
We may occasionally hire other organisations or individuals to provide services on our behalf, including to deliver marketing services and process financial transactions. Those organisations or individuals will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the relevant service. We take reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations and individuals are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.
We do not rent, lease or in any other way provide your personal information to other organisations or individuals for marketing purposes.
Direct marketing
We will not direct market to you unless you have been given an opportunity to opt out of receiving future direct marketing communications or unless you have otherwise consented to direct marketing. If you do not want to receive such offers from us or do not want us to disclose your personal information to our related entities for marketing purposes, you can opt out at any time by contacting us using our contact details provided below. We do not use or disclose sensitive information for the purposes of direct marketing.
Social media
We may also, from time to time, use social media platforms to deliver targeted advertisements to you or others who we consider may be interested in our products or services. For example, we may aggregate your email address together with the email addresses of others, locally hash such data, and transmit the resulting hashed data to third parties including but not limited to Facebook for the purpose of creating “Custom Audiences” (where targeted advertisements are sent to people on Facebook who have already been on our website), and “Lookalike Audiences” (where targeted advertisements are sent to people on Facebook who have similar characteristics to people on our customer list).
Electronic communications
The Spam Act 2003 prohibits us from sending you any commercial electronic communications, such as texts and emails containing marketing offers, without your consent.
So, in line with our commitment to technology (but within the parameters of the law), we like to accommodate customers who want to be contacted electronically. We might send you communications for any of the purposes mentioned above.
When we collect your personal information, we might ask you for your mobile phone number or email address. When you provide these details, we will also request your consent for us to use these details for commercial electronic communications. Whenever such messages are sent, we will always provide you with the option of opting out of receiving similar communications in the future within the message.

How do we protect the security of your information
We will take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. This includes taking appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorised access and disclosure. For example, your personal information is stored in secure offices and in computerised and encrypted databases which can only be accessed by authorised employees for permitted business functions. No system can be completely secure however, and while we take all reasonable steps to secure your personal information, we do not promise, and you should not expect that your personal information or communication with us will always remain secure. If there is a notifiable data breach, we will take all reasonable steps to notify you if your personal information is involved in an eligible data breach that is likely to result in serious harm.
We encourage you to take care with how you handle and disclose personal information and avoid sending personal information through unsecure email.
Gaining access to your information
The Privacy Act outlines your right to request and view all personal and sensitive information that we hold about you. If you believe that personal or sensitive information that we hold about you is not accurate, complete and/or up-to-date, you may request that is be corrected. We will ask you to verify your identity before we give you access to your information or correct it, and we will try to make the process as simple as possible. If we refuse to give you access to, or correct, your information, we must notify you in writing setting out the reasons.
You may access your personal information by contacting us. You can contact the Agpower staff member you usually deal with, or email us at privacy@agpower.com.au to make this request. We will then arrange with you a convenient time and means for you to have access.
