Scancam Industries Pty Ltd, Fuel Recovery Services Australia Pty Ltd and their related bodies corporate (we, our, us) recognise the importance of protecting the privacy and the rights of individuals in relation to their personal information. This document is our Privacy Policy and it tells you how we collect and manage personal information about you.
We respect your rights to privacy under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Act) and, to the extent required by the Act, we comply with all of the Act’s requirements in respect of the collection, management and disclosure of your personal information.
When used in this Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning given to it in the Act. Under the Act personal information means: Information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable: (a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and (b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
We may collect and hold the following types of personal information:
We collect personal information directly from individuals about whom the information relates unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so. When we collect information that relates to fuel obtained from fuel retailers, we may obtain that information directly from the fuel retailer, or may obtain that information from any CCTV technology installed at the fuel retailer’s premises. Where such information is obtained using CCTV technology, it may be recorded in the form of a video or audio recording.
We may obtain personal information from government departments by court order. This information is usually limited to the name and address of the registered owner of a vehicle involved in taking fuel without paying for it. The registered owner may then supply us with the name and address of the driver of the vehicle at the time of the incident.
We may also collect personal information in other ways including:
In some circumstances a person may need to provide personal information about third parties (e.g. when making a purchase with someone else’s credit card details). When this occurs, we rely on the person giving the information to inform the third party that they are providing the personal information to us and to advise the third party that we can be contacted for further information.
We may also collect personal information from third parties including third party companies such as credit reporting agencies, debt collection agencies, law enforcement agencies and other government entities.
We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for the following purposes:
Personal information we collect will not be shared, sold, rented or disclosed other than as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may combine or share any information that we collect with information collected by any of our related bodies corporate (within Australia).
We may also disclose personal information to:
On some occasions, we may also be required by law to disclose your personal information. This may include disclosure to a court or government authority, e.g. as a result of a court order or statutory notice pursuant to any legislation.
If we have obtained your personal information from a government authority, we will only use that information to contact you to determine whether to commence proceedings in relation to unpaid fuel, and to commence proceedings if necessary. We are not permitted to and do not use the information for any other purpose.
You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us using the contact details below. Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you). We may charge you a fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs in providing the information to you. We will not charge you for simply making the request and will not charge you for making any corrections to your personal information.
There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold about you. For example, we may refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others, if it would result in a breach of confidentiality or if the requested information relates to legal proceedings. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal.
If you believe that personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
If you believe that your privacy has been interfered with, please contact us using the contact details below and provide details of the incident so that we can investigate it.
No, we do not disclose your personal information to anyone outside of Australia.
We take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is protected from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We may hold your information in either electronic or hard copy form. Personal information is destroyed or de-identified when no longer needed.
As our website is linked to the internet, and the internet is inherently insecure, we cannot provide any assurance regarding the security of transmission of information you communicate to us online. We also cannot guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. Accordingly, any personal information or other information which you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk.
