Personal information means any information that can identify you and we may collect such information in order to provide you with our services or manage our relationship with you.
If you acquire services from our organisation, we may ask you to provide certain details including your contact details and other relevant information.

Generally, however, we will not collect sensitive information about you unless this is required to enable us to provide you with relevant services. If we need such information, we will seek your consent at the time of collecting this information.

How is personal information used and who has access to it?

Our policy is to use personal information only for the main business purposes for which it was originally collected. This information may be used to either provide you with requested information about our services, to manage our relationship with you, or to notify you about other services or promotions that our organization may be involved in.
If at any time you no longer wish to be notified about other services or promotions please let us know.
To maintain the confidentiality of our clients, Parmac (NSW) Pty Ltd does not sell, rent or distribute personal information to, or with, third parties.
In some circumstances, however, personal information may be disclosed for legal reasons, as disclosures may need to be made to law enforcement agencies, government agencies, courts or external advisers.

In some circumstances, personal information is disclosed to third parties where this is related to the supply of our services. However, if this occurs, you will be advised of these disclosures at the time you request us to supply you with our services.

Personal information may also be disclosed to third parties to whom Parmac (NSW) Pty Ltd contracts out specialised functions, such as mailing organisations and printing companies.
