This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by Vinaem Limited and its related bodies corporate (collectively, the Parties, or we, us or our). It outlines how we manage your personal information and safeguard your privacy.
The Parties understand your concerns about privacy and the security of your personal information. Your privacy is important to us and we are bound by the Privacy Act 1998 (Cth) and the National Privacy Principles (NPP’s). We are committed to protecting the personal information that we hold about you.
The Parties only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to perform our functions. The kind of personal information we collect and hold will depend upon the type of products and services that you request from us and may include:
We collect your personal information in a number of ways including:
directly from you, such as when you provide the information by phone, online, web, email or in an application form; and
from third parties such as credit reporting agencies, other credit providers or from other related body corporates, if you authorise us to do so.
Use and Disclosure of your Personal Information
We may use your personal information in a number of ways including:
We may contract out some of our functions such as marketing, mailing, settlement services or identification verification to external service providers from time to time, and only in those instances will we disclose personal information to those providers. Only information pertinent to these products or services will be provided and confidentiality clauses feature in our service agreements with third party providers and suppliers.
We may also disclose your information to companies related to IEL so that products and services may be offered. Where we have obtained your approval to conduct credit checks, we may obtain personal information from or disclose personal information to credit reporting agencies.
When personal information is disclosed to a company operating in a foreign country, we will ensure that the information will be protected by a law or in a contract which upholds privacy principles similar to the NPP’s.
We aim to ensure that personal information we retain about you is accurate, complete and up to date. To enable this, we may regularly ask you to review, confirm and advise us of changes to your personal information.
We store personal information in a combination of computer storage facilities, paper-based files and other records. We will take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
You may request access to the personal information that we hold about you or request correction to personal information that we hold. Subject to the limited circumstances set out below, we will endeavour to process your request in a reasonable time. In order for us to process your request we will need to verify your identity and, in some circumstances, we may need to charge an administrative fee, of which we will inform you in advance.
In the event that we refuse you access to your personal information, we will provide you with an explanation for that refusal. These reasons may include:
We will collect some information from you when you visit the IEL Vinaem (https://vinaem.com) website. Your use of the facilities and services available through the website will determine the amount and type of information that we will collect about you. Some of this information will not be personal information because it will not reveal your identity.
The only personal information which we collect about you when you use the website is what you tell us about yourself; for example, by completing an online form such as an application form, or by asking for a disclosure document for our products or by sending us an email. We will record your email address if you send us an email.
When you visit the website, or IEL’s website, our server places small pieces of data known as “cookies” on your hard drive. Cookies are pieces of information that are transferred to your computer when you visit a website for record-keeping purposes. Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies. However, if you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your Web browser to refuse cookies. We use cookies to provide us with aggregate (anonymous) information on how people use our websites and to help us know what our customers find interesting and useful in our website. We do not link this information back to other information that you have provided to us.
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time for any reason and will make concerted efforts to update the website in a timely manner.
